   As a reminder, our pitch is a group of teenagers who hear a strange noise coming from under the house when they investigate suddenly they start to go missing one by one. We debated upon the three genres for a bit. We ended up deciding on horror. I think it fits the best. Also, it is the one I would like the best. The pace fit the best for the pitch. Horror is fast-paced. This will allow for a very cool action sequence. The action sequences are my favorite to edit. Another thing that I liked about the horror genre is the angles and movements. There is a lot of room for creativity. One of my favorite shots is the over the shoulder shot. It is optimized a lot in horror films. Due to the location we are filming, the common lighting being dim is perfect.  I think this is a great fit for this pitch. There is a lot of wiggle room which, I like. Some of my favorite movies are in the horror genre. I look forward to making this project with my group.  Considering that our movie takes place in a suburban home and our need for extras, choosing to film would be a risky move for all parties involved. The second was a lack of time. None of our group could properly set a date and time to meet for filming even if we wanted to film over the break. While it did come as a disappointment that we could not film so soon, our group instead looked at it as a positive. the longer we wait to film, the more time we will have to plan and prepare and make our film as close to the original vision it can be. while it may be multiple weeks until we film, we will be confident in our abilities both as a group and as a filming crew. While with enough planning and rushed preparation we could have completed the film over the break. However, the irritation and the pain from planning a date and the unnecessary danger that the crew would be put into far outweighed the potential benefit coming from filming the movie earlier. in fact, filming so soon could have been rise to much more irritating issues like more retakes than necessary. We, as a group are glad we chose not to film this past week and are excited for filming to the best of our ability in the upcoming weeks. Our film will be much better for it.
