Genre Research: Horror


 In the beginning of the year, for the course we were assigned to do a powerpoint about genre. The genre that my partner and I chose was the horror genre. We chose the genre because we felt as if the genre was very interesting and it was also one of the genres that people are usually very skeptical about. The horror genre also was very different from others in many ways. From the way the lighting is set up to the different sounds from the film. In the powerpoint, it gives different information about the genre such as the camera angles they use, lighting and the different sounds including in the film. Many of the slides includes different movies that was based on the genre and included the information that was used in the different films. My partner and I Ryeyauni Bush, we alternated the information on the different types of slides. The slides included pictures of what the horror genre looks like when it is being used in a film. 

          As stated before, the horror genre is very different from other genres you may see in movies. When using the horror genre, almost everything is different. The lighting in a horror film is usually a dark or dimmed out lighting scene. Horror also has animations in the film where things will pop out in front of you to scare you. The sound they use in a horror film is way different from what you would hear in a regular film. In a horror film, the most dramatic sound that you may hear is a scream. Screams are in most horror films that you watch because the goal of the film is to scare the audience. By adding this to the film, it indicates that the actor in the film is scared which is the main goal for the movie. Overall, a horror film is supposed to create fear, suspense, mystery and surprise. Without that type of content given to the audience, there really isn't a horror film or it is a very boring one. Though some can't handle a horror film, it is for sure one of the best ones.

  There are many genres other than horror. Theres other great genres such as thriller, romance, historical and action. A lot of people watch many different genres in movies and find them very entertaining. Two other major and important genres used in films are action and comedy. Many movies are filmed in these two genres such as for action, all of the Avengers super hero movies are apart of this genres and such as single movies such as White House Down.

The lighting in these types of films are usually bright so that the audience can see whats really going on. Different bright ...

Genre Research: Queen And Slim

 Q ueen and Slim is another great movie. It gives off a different version of Bonnie and Clyde. The movie tells about two young adults, male and female, being on the run for the murder of a police officer after being pulled over one night. The two were at first, on a regular date getting to know each other and as they are on the way home, they are stopped by a white male police officer and was gunned down by him when he shot the female. After that the man shot the police officer and then they fled the scene and that's how their story begins. This movie is a great movie to put into the drama section. There are so many dramatic scenes in this movies from the beginning to the end. The scenes that had all of the action and heartfelt parts in it carried the movie the way it was supposed to be carried. Those parts made the movie itself more interesting and throughout the movie, it caught that audiences attention more and more. The movie had different scenes that were my favorite. There we...

Production Blog: We pick Sunday!!!

 After enough decision making our group finally came to a conclusion on what and how everything we get done. Due to the fact we haven't recorded our final film, we are still throughout the second portion of our project. We will be recording this Sunday. Leading us to the finish line and being almost done. By then everybody in the group should have their individual clips filmed. While also remembering all parts accordingly. Leading us to not have as many mistakes and dealings pushing forward with the film process. Doing it this way will give us a great amount of editing time, allowing us to turn in the film by Thursday at the latest. Every group member participates throughout the film at least at some given point. My partner Aniya Smith is kilt off through the first part of the scene due to her suicide. Leading us to sadly get the bad news through unexpected times. For us to later receive a text to meet her at the park. All being filmed in different individual settings before we all...
