Genre Decision

-

 Hey guys, welcome to my blog! Today I will be choosing what genre I will use for my final task!

1. Horror Genre

Elements of the Horror Genre that I like are that the films have goriness and create fear. I also like that when a jump scare is about to occur, you can prepare yourself when you start to hear the ominous music. Elements of the Horror Genre that I don't like are that they make the characters extraordinarily clueless, like when they hear a sound and run right toward it. I also don't like how many horror films have a slow start, which bore me and makes me not want to continue watching. For my final task, making a horror film would be difficult to do because while the producers of horror films like It and The Shining have millions of dollars to work with, we don't. It would also be hard to use special effects makeup and include weapons without interfering with our safety.

2. Thriller Genre

Elements of the Thriller Genre that I like are that they create suspense and tension by zooming in on emotion during high-stake scenarios. Another element I like about thrillers is that their quick pace keeps the audience on their toes, making them want to watch more. The last element I like about thrillers is that they have exciting plots, which keep the audience intrigued and entertained throughout. Some common camera angles found in thrillers include High Angles, which isolate the character and make them vulnerable. Another common camera angle is Dutch Angles, which portrays madness, unease, and frantic actions. Making a thriller for our final task would be achievable because we can use the settings and lights around us to portray a dark and mysterious background.

3. Romance Genre

 Elements of the Romance Genre that I like are that it's common for them to have a happy ending, and they are centered on a love story. When considering the aspects of the Romance genre, there are a lot of benefits that we could use in our film. Emphasizing a relationship between two characters could better drive the plot and give reasonable warrant for our protagonist's actions. Along with this the typical setting of the Romance genre is in urban areas which correlate with our natural location. However, the overall mood of the Romance genre is more upbeat and excited, which could contrast with our intended mood of a more serious plot.


After researching and learning more about 3 different genres, we have chosen to make our opening sequence in the Thriller Genre! It is the most convenient because we have access to many resources like open parks and fields that could be used as the perfect setting. We also intend on making our short film full of suspense and tension, which we can efficiently do when making a thriller.

That's all for today! Stay tuned to find out what movies we decide to research in the Thriller genre!

Planning Blog

  Welcome back to my blog, today we are finally getting into the fun part of these blogs. Last week my group and I discussed how we wanted to begin filming. Thankfully our group is super easy going with not too tight of schedules so deciding how we want to plan was quite easy. We're planning on filming either next week or the week after. We figured that getting a jump on our video would be more beneficial as it leaves us with more time to edit and make any changes. Not to mention that we already know exactly where we're going to film and how we're going to execute the scenes. We're going to film our short movie at Jenna's house because her house meets in the middle of all the group members. She also has parks and stores nearby just in case we decide to film a scene in that type of setting. The only people that would be filming and participating in the creation of this short film would be Natalia, Jenna, Sofia, and Carleigh. We are going to have no additional people ...

Creation of Our Website

 Welcome back! Today in class we began to make our website. My group and I started with the the website because we figured it was going to take the longest to create. I originally used Wix to create my website, but it was so confusing. I liked the concept of having the site plan the layout for you, however; the layout they gave me didn't meet my standards. When I tired to change out the photos, it wouldn't let me, unless I paid $15.99. I got super frustrated with the recommended site, so I found another one. I've been using SquareSpace. This site is super convenient and easy to use. I started by choosing the category, I chose marketing because the whole purpose of the website is to help promote our movie. Before I began working on my website, I wrote down the main things I wanted to cover. I wanted to include the title, a slogan, the goals of our movie, a meet the producers page, background information on the process of filming, and most importantly a link to our social med...

Title Design Websites

  Hey guys, welcome to my blog! Today I will be researching different websites that will help me with title sequences. www.artofthetitle.com When I first enter the website "Art of the Title", the first thing that catches my eye is a drop down menu that says "Title Sequences".  When I click on it, examples of recent, recommended and classic movie title sequences pop up with a thumbnail. This will help me with my title sequence research because it will aid in choosing which movies are the best fit for me. Below these, there is also an option to "View all titles", which allows me to view a wider range of movies and their title sequences. If I want to only look through movies that are in my Thriller genre, I can use the search bar to search "Thriller Movies". This helps me pin point exactly which movie sequences will aid me in the process of making my own thriller movie sequence. Next to the movie titles there is also dates, which helps me identify m...
