Creativity - coursework reflection

When were thinking of ideas of what to do, we watched horror trailers and some films in our own time. We looked for some of the cliches included in the trailers and films and wanted to try and incorporate them into the opening two minutes of our film. We both came up with a mind map of ideas and took some of each others ideas and put them together to get and idea we both liked. When we was starting to film out film we ran into a massive obstacle, the place we was meant to be filming our film at was no longer available for us to film. This meant we had to change the whole concept of our film. This was a major set back but we managed to deal with it and overcome it.

The software Adobe elements helped us create something imaginative because it had so many different features that could be used to create the best film possible. It had a load of filters, transitions etc included in the software. There was something on there for basically ever genre, we chose to use the fade to black as this was used in other opening two minutes that we had watched. There were also many different tools included in this software as well. Some of tools were scissors so you can cuts bits out that you did not want and also a text button which meant you could add text in any part of the film you wanted.

We managed to include a range of camera shots to really show off how we could create a very creative horror movie, such as long shots, over the shoulder shots etc. The way our opening two minutes turned out was better than i expected.
