Genre Research: Horror



To begin with, this is my PowerPoint on the genre horror. This PowerPoint consists of all the aspects

 needed to create a horror film. These include common lighting, common angles, common movements,

and common sound etc. As well as the elements, there are in total 4 elements of horror. Which are fear,

surprise, suspense, and spoilers. Each element benefits off each other. Fear, which is one of the most

important element is used to bring fear into the atmosphere of the audience. This is a crucial and liable

part of horror without fear there would be no horror. Surprise, which is a great way to bring presence of

the first element fear. This is used to get what is most common in horror films "jump scares." As the

audience is so scared and shocked they jump out of their chair in fear. Suspense, is used to grab the

audience's attention. This creates the audience to be very intrigued and interested and what going on in

the film. Making them want to know what's gonna happen next. Spoilers, or foreshadowing is used to

build up suspense in the audience. This allows for the audience to try and predict what might happen

next. In other words it grasps their attention by giving them an anticipation of what's next. I would say

that horror is one of my favorite genre's. I like feeling the excitement that it gives making the blood

rush through my body and having me on the edge of my seat.

Music Video Blog

Today's the day! The video above is the final product of my music video. For this blog, I will talk about the experience before and after doing this video. Heading into this project I was a little nervous. I was nervous because I didn't think I had the capability to recreate a music video. LIKE EVER! But I  knew it had to get done so I went headfirst into it. The first step was to pick a song, this was where I  had to use my creativity. Out of all the songs I ended up choosing "The Bigger Picture" by Lil Baby.  The reason I decided to do this song was that Lil baby is one of my favorite rappers. Also, the meaning  behind the song was the "black lives matters" movement. After the tragic death of George Floyd which  was a man who lost his life at the hands of the police. Or the people that are supposed to "protect the  people" and make the streets safer. George Floyd is just one of the black people who have lost their  lives due to this type of brut...

Filming Process

 For my Vans commercial the filming process went quite easily. I am going to explain step by step how the filming process went. To begin with, I had to make sure the setting was right. This meaning the area and the weather. It was raining for most of the weekend so luckily on Sunday I was able to start my film. This was also important because I wanted the video to start of with a sunset. Although I wasn't able to capture the sunset I was still able to capture the beautiful setting of the sun that day. After that I was able to gather my clothing. I wore two sets of the clothing in the film. The first being a black & white hat, a plain white T-shirt, khaki shorts, and my black & white checkerboard Vans. The second being a red & white visor, the same plain white T-shirts, the same khaki shorts, and my red & white checkerboard Vans. The purpose of this is so that the audience can see right of the bat what is being advertised to them. In many commercials people are ...

Introduction To The Music Video Project

Image
Good afternoon, my name is Nicholas Smith. Today, I was given the opportunity to create a music video project. Given to me by lovely teachers Mr. Katz and Ms. Marchionne. Through the AICE MEDIA department. This will be my second project given to me and I can't wait. For this project I've  decided to work on it by myself. Due to the current circumstances I have chosen to do this project  alone. I don't want to interfere with others resulting with risk of the life of myself and others. I believe  that doing this project alone is the safest option. For my project, I have decided to do "The Bigger  Picture." Which was made by Lil Baby an artist from Atlanta, Georgia. "The Bigger Picture" was the  in fact voted the most iconic song of the year. I decided to do this song as it speaks on the behalf of the  "black lives matter" movement. This song was created as a  reaction of the "George Floyd" killing.  George Floyd was 46 years old when he...
