Exploring the shadows, the making of “The Dark”

As you near the stairwell you feel a presence, as you peek over, you see nothing but a laundry basket, but when you turn around something is in front of you, you try to scream but you are already gone. Hey there! Welcome back to another post, this ones about what my most recent maker project was. In Maker 9 it’s all about Video making skills, and for this assignment we got to make our very own thriller! Before this specific project we had to recreate a thriller as close as we could from scratch, from the skills we learned doing that, we were assigned to make our brand new thriller! So me and three of my friends made a group, and one of them came up with a great idea. “A man goes to his therapist to try and solve his fear of the dark, the therapist recommends exposure therapy, when the man is home he needs to do the laundry, normally he would turn the lights on but instead he keeps them off, when he is walking back up from the basement he finds a monster right in front of him”.The Dark. Pretty good right? Well we all got to improve our video making and editing skills, looking back there are still things I would revise but that’s just more help for next time! Making this video took patience, sometimes we didn’t fully get along, or progress was barely being made, but in the end we persevered and worked together as a team, not a group to make a finished product we could all be proud of. This project helped me as a learner understand how we can use the moving image. I now know I can confidently and proficiently make small videos
