 Since i have completed my editing portion, it leaves a lot of room for improvements. I have already done a peer review but each day i rewatch the film with a fresh mind and see what i can change. I have shown multiple people the film and they have all liked it. Some people even provided improvements we could make with the editing. The most common advice i have received was about the transitions. The transitions from scene to scene are a very important factor of the film. Transitions can create certain effects for the audience or make the seem either flow choppy or smooth. The actual content for the film connected with each other very nicely. While filming, i was a bit worried that the clips wouldn't fit nicely with the plot. After editing, the plot seemed to be very clear and all the specific factors such as angles, costumes and lighting made a large contribution to the realistic effect. I think that making the film about a teenage friendship was a good idea because it contributes to the realistic approach of the horror film. We used teenage actors to allow the audience to relate themselves to the characters playing part in the horror element. The point of the horror genre is to leave an unsettling feeling for the audience. If the audience can relate to the characters, they can put themselves in the situation of the character and feel empathetic when the horror element is brought upon, creating a more intense feeling of fear for the audience. The costume change was a great contribution to the plot and it creates suspense for the audience to figure out why the costume change is relevant to the characters. Im excited to see what more people think about my film.
