Genre Research: Horror & Drama


This genre PowerPoint displays the many aspects that make up a horror movie. Horror movies contain many different features that you usually don't see in other movies. For example, they contain elements such as blood, jump scares, possessions, monsters, etc. Those are things that you would not typically see in any of the other genres. The common camera angles you would see are close-ups, low angles, and hand-held. As far as movements, there are many tilts, tracking, pans, fade-outs and zooms. The one aspect of horror movies that stands out the most is probably mise-en-scene. The costumes, makeup, setting, etc are usually displayed in a scary manner which is what distinguishes it. Horror movies also contain different sounds like loud bangs, screaming, crying, sudden and unpredictable frequency. Some examples of recent popular horror movies are: It, The Nun, Us, Anabelle 

This next PowerPoint displays the genre drama. Drama is different from others mainly because of their   storylines. The storyline in drama movies usually involve an argument or a big problem. Characters usually have many problems and typically there's a resolution in the end. Drama's contain many different camera angles including: mid-shots, canted angles, master shots, pans, tilts, zoom, etc. Some scenes in dramas are fast paced depending on how intense a scene may be. There's also crosscutting, eyeline match, shot/reverse shot and much more but those are some of the main ones you would see. When it comes to sound there's obviously a lot of dialogue but there is also ambient sound, diegetic sound, and voiceovers. The mise-en-scene in dramas is usually not too dramatic depending on what the movie is about. Half of the time you might see remarkable makeup and costumes but a lot of times, characters usually dress normal. Lastly, dramas have both high key and low key lighting in them and it  just depends on what is happening in the scene, what kind of lighting it will have. Some examples of dramas movies are: All the bright places, One night in Miami, After, me before you, etc.

Editing

 After my group finished, I finally was able to get work done. My task was only to edit the mall and park scene. I think maybe Dezyrae wanted to edit the house scenes. I am not sure completely sure on who did it. Editing was very easy going. It was not difficult nor complicated at all. First, I made sure to go over every scene. I wanted to see if it followed the storyboard. I only obtained the scenes from the mall and park. The process of trimming went well. I did not have any difficulty with it. I trimmed the parts that were not needed. While trimming, I kept in mind that I did not want the videos to be too long. The final task should only be two minutes. Although, I had trouble editing the transitions. I was not sure which part to trim. So, the transitions are probably very bad. I probably could had done a better job for the transitions but it costed money to get access to the different transitions. I tried to use other editing apps. Unfortunately, almost all of them required pay...

Creative Critical Reflection

1. My product uses conventions by that I clarified about the product to help readers to completely understand what my product is used for. I would say that this product is welcome to all hair types. Growing up, I struggled to find hair brushes that will not cause unnecessary damage to my hair. I have tightly coiled hair so, my hair is hard to tame. Those with the same hair type as me, or a hair type closer than it, finally know a product that is pain-free and detangles just fine. 2. My product engages with audiences by that we all struggled to find the right tools that would work for our hair. It is important for us to choose products that will work for our hair and prevent hair damage. This would be distributed as a real media text through a commercial. A commercial would do good at explaining this product more. People will be informed about how this product can work for your hair and reduce damage.  3.I would say that my production skills improved a bit while working on the comme...

  What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have?  An element we'll be using in our final task is intense music. We want to create a lot of suspense in our movie. So when the girl receives the texts/letters, we'll use intense music. We'll also be using the element normality. The girl is going to pretend nothing is wrong during the task. The other girls won't know anything's wrong, so they'll also be acting normal. What elements of the genre did the movie have that you like? Intensity: At the beginning of the movie, Sandra is explaining to the kids that they must remain silent and alert. As she explains, the audience gets an intense feeling. Intense music/ sound motifs: After the beginning scene, there's intense music and the sound of the creature playing. This keeps the audience on their toes because it feels as if something is about to happen. Normality: While Sandra and the kids are on the water, the scene switche...
