NIGHTMARE ON FERN STREET RECAP

         I wanted to cover the nightmare on fern street this year because they started implementing different things like the haunted house with actors. I thought it would be awesome if we could do a Muse “inside look” of the haunted house to give students a chance to look back and experience it all over again. A struggle I faced while doing this was actually getting everything to show up on camera since the lighting was different in each part of the house PLUS they use crazy effects like strobe lights and fog to make the walk through even scarier for students. To overcome this I made sure to go through the house very slowly and then edited a lot of the footage in post-production to decrease the exposure and give the full effect of the actors. My favorite part of this project was seeing the reactions of students when we posted it on the instagram, youtube, and website. Many people said to me that the music I used in editing and effects I put before and after the video really gave off the scary vibe. One thing I could do better next time is to get interviews of the actors who were involved to show another layer of “inside scoop” and allow them to explain the immense effort they put into creating the house.
