What is a Spaghetti Western?
- a movie about the American Old West made cheaply in Europe, typically by an Italian producer and director.

 Why would Tarantino use this genre for a World War II movie?
- He used this genre to present the harshness of war and how it is dealt with. There are many protagonists but they can also be antagonists in other ways. Showing that there can sometimes be a hero in the end that saves everyone. In Inglorious Basterds, Aldo is shown to be the protagonist but when killing everyone else, he can be a antagonist. In the movie, there is characters that come out of the shadows that no one knew was there. Many characters can also be working with other groups but then go against them in the end.

 3 ways Tarantino subverts the audiences expectations:
- The characters that survived a killing in the beginning of the film are later present in the end of the film
- Some of the characters just talking can show the audience that they are building relationships by just talking about irrelevant topics
- Most films are followed in chronological order but in the film by Tarantino, he does not put the movie in order at all. There is also chapters to the film.

As I started looking over my film, I have realized there are some special affects that I want to include. For example, in the woods scene I want to have rainfall in order to make the scene seen more ominous. The following clip shows how to stimulate rain fall and I hope to use it in my film. Another editing technique that I want to use is to have blood displayed on the screen when the each of the characters die in order to make the film seem more graphic. During the woods scene I am going to make the environment darker and more ominous Finally, I have decided to create a diegetic sound of footsteps on leaves in order to create a feel of anxiety that the actor feels.

In the past two weeks I have continued to edit my film. After reading the film text book, I have decided to make the running shots shorter in order to have it more suspenseful and seem more exciting. I have also decided to use dramatic music when the monster appears in order to make the scene more suspenseful. One thing I have decided to change is the beginning. In the beginning I originally shot it with one of the characters laying on the bed reading a book. Now, I have decided that it would be better to have a shot the woods, the house, and the sky in general to create an establishing shot and to make everything seem normal. I think this would scare the audience more as the story continues to become more horrific because the audience did not expect the outcome. I think this would also be beneficial because we can have a voice over on these scenes. I will also focus on emphasizing between the differences in image mood and sound mood. I will correlate the two mood and insure that I fin...
