  The genre my group decided on using for our final task is Romantic Comedy. We felt like making a romantic comedy movies would be fun and more exciting. We came down to this decision by taking a vote first. Whichever one had the most votes won. Me and Jaylah voted romantic comedy are more interesting. We'd also be able to leave a cliff hanger which would make the audience more interested. Saja voted Superhero movie because she liked Spiderman films. We later convinced that romantic comedy was the best choice. We plan on adding a scene that will make the audience feel emotions like an awe. This will be our cliffhanger. The use of suspense of not knowing how someone else feels about you.  I find this soo amusing because it increases the tension and feelings and makes you feel as if you're in the scene. I like this because it is easy to build a story or plot off of this base. We don't plan on having a heartbreak in our film because it'll be overly dramatic. Our film is pl...

CAMS- In horror films depending on the plot and situation characters are put in, the film maker will use different angles and shots to complete the scenes.

For our Movie, I decided to work with the same group I had previously worked with. This group consists of myself, Zariah and Saja. I chose to work with these girls again simply because of our chemistry.  When filming our commercial, it proved to be the most fun I've had in a while. We all came together and got along as if we've known each other for years. The laughter that was shared between all of us is the most memorable part. With the bloopers and trying to get a pitch perfect laugh was hilarious and we all look back on it and smile. Even though laughter was involved, we had conversations that felt natural not forced as we were working on the process behind filming. Besides the chemistry, these girls get work done proficiently.
