Critical Reflection

1. Critical Reflection Alberto Alfaro P.6

2. Conventions • We used some classic scary movie scores and ominous music throughout our clip. • We also used the commonly used long shot to show isolation.

3. Social Issues • Our clip’s plot represents a common social stereotype of a mean father-in-law through having Diego (the dad) as the villain • Our project also represents a group of people in society suffering from Psychopathy and the challenges they face

4. Audience • Our film would be marketed toward teens; teens would be intrigued due to the predominantly the teen-age characters in the film • Many teens can also relate to the young couple in the situation of meeting parents for the first time

5. Distribution • Our movie would be distributed to movie theaters nationwide • Our movie would be marketed as the number one Halloween film of the year

6. Production Skills • Filming skills were optimized through trial and error throughout the filming process and hands on experience • Editing skills were developed by overcoming obstacles and solving problems to get the clip to production level such as cutting the clip down to the time limit

7. Technologies • We integrated the camera and tripod combo by attempting various different types of angles and shots such as pans and tilts • Premiere pro was integrated as the main source for editing such as cutting, adding music, and manipulating volume
