Genre Research- Horror

 a. Common camera angles, movements, and shots in the horror genre include low angles to create a sense of unease, tracking shots to build suspense, and close-ups to capture intense emotions.


b. Common sounds in the horror genre include eerie music, sudden loud noises, and chilling screams that can send shivers down your spine.


c. Common mise-en-scene (CLAMPS) in the horror genre include dim lighting, creepy locations like haunted houses or dark forests, atmospheric fog, menacing props, and spooky costumes.


d. Common editing techniques in the horror genre include jump cuts to create quick scares, slow-motion shots for heightened tension, and rapid cuts during intense moments to increase the sense of chaos.


e. Example films of the horror genre include classics like "Psycho," "The Shining," and "Halloween," as well as more recent movies like "Get Out," "Hereditary," and "A Quiet Place."


As for the elements of the genre that I like, I enjoy the suspenseful atmosphere, the adrenaline rush of jump scares, and the creative ways that horror movies can explore deeper fears and psychological themes.


On the other hand, there are some elements of the genre that don't appeal to me, such as excessive gore or violence. I prefer horror movies that rely more on psychological suspense rather than solely relying on graphic imagery.

Group Blog: Going Solo

I’m back and ready for something new. I decided to switch it up and this time I chose to work alone. I have tried to work with others before and although it wasn’t bad I feel as if I want to go at my own paste. Something I didn’t enjoy with working with someone else was having to depend on them. I rather be working independently and that way I know I’m doing the best I can do. Working by myself can benefit me in many ways, working alone allows me to take full control and make decisions without relying on others. I can develop a strong sense of self-discipline when working independently, as I’ll need to stay focused and motivated. I have the freedom to set your my own schedule and work at my own pace, which can be a big advantage. Working alone gives me the space to explore my own ideas and think outside the box without any external influences. Achieving tasks and reaching goals on my own can boost my self-esteem and confidence in my abilities. Working independently allows me to learn n...

How to make a short film

Image
  "Write what you have the resources for" is a powerful adage to follow when creating plots and screenplays. We can only write with what we have we are limited in what we can do due to the lack of cameras and microphones for filming. I know it takes time to edit and pace a movie since you only have 5 minutes, you have to be careful about how much to photograph and how much to cut. Overshooting is the best option, but you need to make sure the plot     doesn't need to be fully fleshed out to make sense. There needs to be     some balance, every scene needs to contribute something towards the ending, there's no room for fill-in-the-blanks. Also, the movie isn't very predictable, but it could use a Groundhog Day-type plot, which makes this difficult. While adhering to the theme of the story, there are bound to be     scenes that the audience doesn't expect. Theme determines the plot and must be understood by the audience. You also need to maintain tone ac...

Intro Blog: The Nerves

Hello, it's me again. I prepared myself mentally  for this particular project. I was completely nervous about this project before, but now I think I'm ready. I'm a little worried, but overall I'm calm. I'm worried that my job will be unstable, that something will go wrong when I shoot, that the image will be problematic. I may have some questions, but overall I'm looking forward to filming and getting back on set. I was nervous before because I had no experience creating videos like this. Now that I'm working alone, I'm even more nervous. This time, no one gave me constructive criticism or stood out. After talking about it and learning more about it, I felt calmer and less nervous. Because I knew I couldn't get lost. Instead, I wanted to be prepared for whatever was to come. After subsequent projects I gained some experience that I will definitely use for this project. I learned how to properly edit, how to make camera angles and movements look beaut...
