1 minute film challenge

The Ring - One Minute Film Challenge

Evaluation

In the process of creating this film our group (Allen, Claire, Chay)  went through three stages,  deciding, filming, editing.

Deciding

We mainly focused on remaking a film rather than being creative as we all had a particular interest on a horror genre movie. We browse through film trailers, some required a lot more props and was set in a location we could not work with like in the forest. Eventually we came across The Ring, simple trailer with a straight forward plot that required minimal props and can be filmed in the location we were in. After agreeing on The Ring we didn't have to bring any props in for the next day so we skipped the planning process and went straight to the filming on the next day.

Filming

 We first tried to find a dark room to film in so it fits with the horror genre. During our filming process we tried to film so that we limit the audience of vision to create suspension. We had 4 characters, Chay and allen as the main character, Claire as the ghost and me as a external character. We based our filming on the trailer, minimal dialogue, very fast moving shots.

Editing 

During the editing we used the program final cut pro X we thought the film was not scary at first with all the shots we took,  so we used a sound track to create suspension as its gets louder as the video goes along.

What we did well

- Good communication

- We used a lot of camera angles

What we could do to improve

- Spread responsibility equally

- Making more intense jump scare.
