Introduction



My name is Umer Raza and I am an As student. My group partner and i have been obsessed with film as long as we remember, due to which we opted for the film brief.

PHOTOGRAPHY



Photography has captivated me for as long as I can remember. Captivated by pictures. These amazing works of art, rich in significance and color. Each one has a story to tell, a moment of sparkle captured in time. A moment that would have been lost to time. From celebrating a birthday to lamenting the loss of a loved one, we capture life's beauty, sufferings, and joys.


We are able to reflect on these enchanted pictures in a world where we must inevitably leave innumerable individuals behind in pursuit of our goals and vocations. Don't forget who we were.


FAVOURITE FILMS




Honestly, these movies are amazing. In particular, horror films immerse you in sinister, twisted realms where suspense permeates every second. You give yourself over to the fear, the unknown, and the excitement of being afraid for a few hours, forgetting the outside world. You are drawn in by the characters, the spooky settings, and the suspense; you can't take your eyes off them as you watch, enthralled and afraid.

In particular, horror films are remarkably good at reflecting our real world. "Has anyone ever felt this way before?" is a question we ask ourselves when we are experiencing fear, heartbreak, or loss. We therefore look to movies in an effort to develop empathy and understanding. Horror films in particular allow us to confront our deepest fears by allowing us to see ourselves in the shadows and piece together our experiences and feelings.

Every film I've displayed above makes me feel a certain way, an indescribable feeling. No matter how long you study for, or go to film school, at the end of the day, your love for a movie, be it "good" or "bad", all comes down to a feeling. An indescribable feeling.

FINAL PROJECT AND DEVELOPMENT

FINAL PROJECT AND DEVELOPMENT FINAL PROJECT: POSTER: PRODUCTION: These shots were filmed first as we thought they'd be the easy ones to film as well as sit according to the color grade. We shot this as well as the rest of the project near my house. The Medley Shots themselves were relatively simple. However, there are still some scenes which were difficult to shoot. For the opening scene, we first went on a highway at night to shoot the first scene but after taking 2 or 3 shots, it didn't give us the desired haunted vibe. We then came back to search for the road which gave us a haunted vibe. After a while we found a road which was located about 8 to 10 minutes away from my house. But the street lamps made it a little difficult to continue with. However, my group partner who was in charge of production design and the surrounding such as lighting etc, had an idea to place a ring light. This allowed us to light the shots better, whilst also keeping the Mise-en-scene in check. We t...

PRELIMINARIES

 PRELIMINARY 1 - CHARACTER INTRODUCTION: I shot this movie at my friend's house, and he helped me a lot in setting up the camera angles and during editing. The idea for this movie came to my mind about how we should shoot it, but when we started filming, we faced some difficulties. However, my friend helped me overcome them, and we managed to shoot it successfully. I have seen many horror movies with similar scenes, which is why this idea was in my mind. I have watched a lot of horror movies, basically, I like the horror genre, which is why I mostly watch horror films, and that's how this idea came to me.                                                                  Me editing the footage  For editing, I used CapCut, where I also used my own voice and added some sounds from YouTube, such as a clock ticking sound...

CREATIVE CRITICAL REFLECTION

Q1: HOW DOES YOUR PRODUCT USE OR CHALLENGE CONVENTIONS AND HOE DOES IT REPRESENT SOCIAL GROUPS OR ISSUES? THE FIRST CREATIVE CRITICAL REFLECTION QUESTION. Hi, my name is Umer Raza, and my film is a horror story that both embraces and challenges the traditional conventions of the genre. In this video, I’m going to talk about how my movie plays with classic horror tropes, where it breaks the mold, and how it explores deeper social issues through its eerie storyline. My movie really taps into classic horror conventions, like creepy, atmospheric settings. The story takes place on a desolate, dark road, and right from the start, that isolation creates this feeling of vulnerability for the main character. The suspense builds slowly, with these quiet, tense moments where you just know something isn’t right, and it keeps the audience on edge. We also play with the fear of the unknown, rather than revealing the source of the terror immediately, we let it linger, building that unease. Th...
