CCR Question #4
How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?
Hardware
Some of the key examples of hardware technologies I used within this project are an iPhone 13 Pro for filming, and a tripod for stabilization purposes. The iPhone was convenient and sufficient in producing satisfactory quality for footage, and I was already familiar, instead of having to learn how to properly operate a camera. The tripod was necessary in ensuring the instability of certain shots did not grow overbearing.

CCR Question 1 Research
How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?
The main genre present within They Lay in a Pool of Blood That is Not Their Own! is coming of age, while there are some conventions relating to the drama and psychological drama world as well.
Coming-of-age films are universally known for revolving around a teenage protagonist and cherishing the beauty of growing up, including the hardships that come with it, as they eventually lead to the main character being a more mature, wholistic person.

Foleyoley
So me and JD have decided that in terms of post-production, we would go 50-50 and he would handle the footage side of things, and I would handle the sound side of things. As I sit around, waiting impatiently for the edited footage to create the soundscape to, I can't help but get started on some foley sound design, and what better place to go than YouTube?
I had previously found some copyright-free SFX to use in post-production in past YouTube excursions, so today I'll show you what they look like over the big climax: the picture burning.
Here's the original video with original sound:

Choppin' Up
I've always considered myself more of a guitarist than a DJ, but here I've found myself needing to act as one for the sake of my film opening. Remember this song?

Summative Production Post
FAMILY PHOTOSHOOT
After meeting together at a local park, we worked towards getting some pleasant photos to frame in the house for the main scene and getting our actors to at least pretend to like each other for a few minutes. Here's how it turned out:

The Match Cut Ultimatum
Today, after calling ahead and asking for permission, we stopped by the St. Bonaventure Church in Davie, Florida, to film the match cut of the crucifix in our opening. I'm stuck between two options, so come along and help me decide.
Immediately, the second option is clearly more vibrant and colorful. While it is more visually captivating, I'm not sure it's what we're looking for exactly. Additionally, the cut would be less continuous as the shapes are not obviously similar, and the colors would be juxtaposed.The first option would match this crucifix above a lot better and establish a greater sense of continuity and smoothness within the opening. Despite not necessarily being the most visually jarring or juxtaposing, it will serve it's purpose. It will smoothly link the present to the past, highlighting the opposition between Christopher and Belle regarding how they would like to move on, or stay attached to it.
