The film must also include one  close up; one dutch angle, one high or low angle one one silhouette, one pan or tilt or track/push or spinaround, one zoom or dolly zoo,  one subliminal cut or multitake or smash cut, one match cut, one  J cut or L cut, one use of slow or fast motion; one intentional use of color for story/emotion, one instance of intentional use of costume/hair/makeup, one instance of visual complexity in setting choice (color, texture, depth, lines, shapes, etc.); three sound effects, one piece of incidental music or one sound motif repeated three times.

Some codes and conventions I adhered to was having a flashback, weird angles, suspenseful moments, violence, scary music, quick jump cuts sound effects, and I kept the audience guessing the whole time not knowing what might come next. Some ways I broke horror movie conventions would be I didn't have any jump scares, the lighting wasn't particularly lowkey most of the time, the colors were debatably bright the whole time, it had no young children, the characters didn't have any odd backstories either, and because the lighting/colors weren't very dark, it didn't make the audience feel like scared or as if they were in a creepy environment. I represented animals/goats as scary or dangerous as they were to the main character. I also represented gamers as having a bad temper when they lose.

I was successful in my use of POV shots as when I couldn't immerse the viewer well enough with a third person shot, the use of a POV shot helped the viewer feel as if the story was real. Also when I couldn't actually have the goat chase the character, a POV shot was a good replacement. I think the way I ended the film was a good ending and wrapped the whole thing together. I was less successful in making the environment scary as i filmed during the day and I couldn't isolate light enough to make the dream scary. If I could change the scene in the field, I would change the colors to make it a darker, red ambience that way it felt off. Also the editing and use of sound effects felt forced because the 3 sound effect requirement was hard to fit into this film. I used Adobe Premiere Pro to edit this film, I used Arc Studios to create the script, I used an IPhone 11 back camera to record, and I used Photoshop to create the logo. I learned many things while filming this and how when creating a film there are so many factors to account for from continuity to how you can use color to change the way the audience feels. If I could go back and make this film more professional, I'd make it longer, I'd make the colors darker, I'd get the goat to actually chase him, I'd have a better crosscut and lastly I'd find a more fitting piece of music for this film.
