This is my final task. My partner and I put a lot of effort into this. We hope our audience enjoys it.

Through all the hard work and consistency, my partner and I got our task done. We were satisfied with our end result. We got all the scenes we wanted. We got all the angles we wanted. Our conventions were up to our standards. Our music was suspenseful and brought the feeling that we wanted. I wanted to be sure that other people thought the same thing of our film. I gathered a family member, and a  friend to view our film. We needed the outside opinion. I was not sure whether they would be biased or not, so I chose one teacher at my school to give an opinion. A teacher that neither of us were students for. Now we have a three outside opinions, one which is a non-biased source. After we show our film to our viewers we will see what they think. If they think anything small should be changed, we will make small changes without altering the plot or progression of our task. Through all this the most important thing is to keep our main story and our scenes the same. Our first viewer which was

We have finally finished our final task. Now we must move forward to our final review. Once we began reviewing, we noticed that some of our expressions and conventions are not exaggerated. This made our work seem dull. If we wanted to amplify our task, we needed to find a way to exaggerate it. For the expressions that were not exaggerated, we decided to reshoot the scene. We gathered all of our equipment. I headed to her house to reshoot the scenes. We needed the same props as the previous scenes. The same costumes as previous scenes. The same lighting as the scenes we did get right. We tried not to make anything seem out of place from our other scenes. Now that we have everything the same, we shot our scenes again. This time all of our emotions were exaggerated. Now it was time for us to edit our new scenes. While wanted our color schemes to pop out and be easily seen. We wanted to show the zooms and all the camera movements. In this remake, we did everything that we wanted. Our film

 After watching our work we compared it to other opening scenes. In popular horror films there are plenty elements that give it the suspenseful feeling. We decided to use another popular editing application. "iMovie" is exclusive to Apple devices. Although we have not used it in a long time, it is not something we are new to. We went through the same steps of editing on iMovie, but used different transitions and fonts. We found that one of the applications offered more effects than the other. We used the application that we found offered better effects for our genre. The application with more sudden transitions. The one that had a better color scheme. The one that was better for editing in general. We compared both of our final tasks. One of them was obviously better than the other. We ended up choosing the task done on Capcut. We felt the work done on it was more professional. This task would be more entertaining than the task done on iMovie.

 Now that all of our scenes our done, it is time to edit it. The app that my partner and I will use to put my final task together is Capcut. Both of us have previously used CapCut for our own work and our own enjoyment. We both already have a previous account so there is no signing up. I can quickly and easily get started. The first task that we had to do was trim my scenes to the desired length. A few of my scenes ended up being a little too long. Some of the other scenes had a few seconds of us acting out of character. Extra time like this had to be gone before I could put the task together. Once we were finished with trimming extra seconds, we put my scenes together. This was fastest task in our final task. Putting all the scenes in order was quick and easy. After getting all my scenes in order, I focused on transitions. I did not want my transitions to be too flashy. Instead, I made them clean and simple. After getting all this ready I was nearing my final task. Putting the song in
