Genre Research: Horror

  • Common Camera Angles, Shots, & Movement : Common camera angles are Dutch, low, and high angles. Common shots are POV, wide shots, and extremes close ups. Common movement tracking shots and tilts. 
  • Common Mis-En-Scene : Common make up is using fake blood for bloody or gory scenes. It also just depends on the character and what facial structure they want to emphasize. Common props are weapons such as knifes, guns, or even a chainsaw. Common costumes is dark clothing and messy/frizzy hair. Common acting is usually acting scared during some scenes. Common lighting is dim lighting uses to create tension. Some even use casting shadows. Common setting is a dark, deserted area. 
  • Common editing: fade into black to build tension, the way they place their shots, and jump cuts. 
  • Common sounds during horror films is heavy breathing, footsteps, or the slashing or stabbing of flesh. Another big one is screams or whispers. 
  • Examples movies: It (2017) and Talk To Me (2022) 
  • Elements we liked - I like the Mis-En-Scene that are used in the horror genre specially the props because using blood adds to the story and make it scarier for the viewer. Another element we like are the sounds effects such as he whispers. Depending on the story line, it adds an eerie feeling to it making it more interesting to watch. 
  • Elements we didn't like - We don't like the dim lighting because it basic and doesn't add to the story. It's more the editing that connected with the lighting that helps bring the story to life.

Welcome back to the final post, everyone. I'm grateful that you all have stayed with me over this long journey. At the end of the day, it was all worth it since my incredible and successful commercial was completed. To demonstrate the steps involved in creating the commercial and what I learned, I will answer a few questions. What technology did you learn to use?  I've improved greatly in my ability to use technology during the course of the preparation process. I previously knew how to use capcut, but this project helped me find more features in the app that might be helpful in my future projects. On my images and videos, I've learned how to use transitions. I initially had to look up how to use translations, but I quickly picked it up and was able to incorporate it into my commercial. Another type of technology that I learned is uploading my video from CapCut to Youtube. I had no idea how to do such a thing but I researched and watched videos. Lastly, I learned how to emb...

Hey everyone, welcome back to my blog! This will my last blog before my commercial. It was a long journey but at least my commerical will be perfect. Anyways, what I will be talking about today is my videos that I will be also adding along with the pictures. As I mentioned in the previous blog, I am very indecisive, so this took me a while. It took me nearly an hour, as usual, to eventually decide which two videos to include. So to start off, my first video is obviously me playing soccer as a little kid. This video shows my passion for the sport and how I've always enjoyed playing. My dad has always helped me practice because I've always enjoyed playing the sport and my goal is to become a professional. I was playing by myself in the soccer facility where the video was shot because I was too young to play with the adults. However, after all that waiting and developing, Im finally allowed to play with them today. Now for my final video. This video shows me doing "capoeira...
