Silent Short Film


Conclusion Questions (REMEMBER TO ANSWER IN COMPLETE SENTENCES)
1. To create our Silent Film, we first started by brainstorming and trying to figure out which way we'd want to go for our films genre. Horror is something many people tend to choose as it' easier, and we also choose this genre but we wanted to make sure it was as original as possible and did the most to make it as best as possible. We decided to go with more of a thriller, with our theme being centered around randoms notes and in school. The first things we did was start our motion graphic and our poster with adobe photoshop and adobe after affects/illustrator. We did all our recordings in school with the help of two friends when me and my partner would both be in the scene at the same time, and after we used adobe rush to edit and complete our film.

2. I think the easiest parts of this whole process was actually filming everything as we already had planned out and organized how we wanted it and it was really fun. The most difficult part, however, was honestly coming up with our idea for our film and trying to put together our poster to fit the vision we had in mind. We did end up gettin git all done at the end as close to what we wanted it to look like as possible but in the moment it was very difficult.
​
3. My group was pretty small, just me and my other partner, but it worked out very well. We were able to evenly split up the work between one another and it helped us get things done a lot quicker than it would have been with a larger group. We also had very similar ideas and views when it came to brainstorming and putting things together and we communicated pretty well to one anther as well.

4. I think our final project all together demonstrates the level of meets or slightly exceeds, I believe this because I think as a group we worked pretty hard in putting a lot of thought and creativity behind out film and did as much as possible to try and make it more unique from other horror short films out there as it is pretty common. We also did pretty well, using different angles while recording and in our film and making sure to use a lot of effects but no too many to where its obnoxious, just enough to make our film a little bit more and add some fun details.
