Testing Ideas:
In order to test if my concept for a story would pan out, I learned how to use masks in premiere. With my prior research on the horror genre it will be easier to know what types of shots I should use in order to evoke the emotions I want to bring out. The scene I am testing is the scene where the boy looks back to the dentist who has foreshadowed some type of wrongdoing through the way he spoke. Then the boy's mouth is missing. I practiced using a mask which would replace the mouth of the boy for one which has the mouth removed and some blood. 
I first removed the background of the subject in the video and then replaced the mouth with just skin, then added some scratch marks to make it look as though the mouth was attached. With this, I know that I can create the scene, now all I need is to build the story and to create a plan for what to do in the upcoming weeks. Furthermore, I need to continue to learn how to ensure the mask looks professional and timed well with the face.
The steps I used to create the above product was
opening the Timeline panel and selecting the clip I wanted to mask, I took a screenshot of the frame I wanted to mask. The frame where the camera shows the face of the victim will be still in order to make the editing easier. Then, using the magic select tool, I removed the mouth, blended the hole with the surrounding colors of the face, and added some red brush and strokes to make the process look more strenuous for the boy. This will be used to create the fear aspect of the clip. Of course, more scarring is required to make the replacement look more natural, but this will be done for the real film.
What I can do next is to learn how to edit the lighting of scenes to make the shots appear more dramatic even if shot during broad daylight. This will help to develop the tone of the film. For the next post, I will be back with a timeline on what is to be done week by week and how I want to accomplish this project.
