Hey, it's me again for the last time. I had so much fun being in the AICE Media Studies class for two years in a row. This film was so amazing to make and I had a blast. I'm so sad to be saying goodbye to this class. I hope to continue filming later on. Thank you for everything, peace out!

Genre Research: Thriller

Image
Another genre I'm researching is thriller. Though similar to horror, thrillers are often meant to invoke a suspense feeling of what’s to come next while horror is more for the scare factor. For thriller, the common camera angels used are high angels. Many are done very slowly to also add to the uneasiness. A Birds eye view is a good movement option for making a character feel powerless and vulnerable which is common in thrillers. Close ups and extreme closeups are best used in showing a characters distress. With this, it sets the audiences moods and builds an effective tension. With costumes and makeup, minimal is always best in helping to keep the scenario real and the characters more relatable. This in turn makes the audience more scared because it’s more real. Low lighting creates a sense a fear and unknowing ness of to what’s come next. Depending on the scene a slow or fast paceed tiring will be used. In thrillers there’s always an intense moment and a calm moment and no in bet...

Movie Conventions Research: Hereditary

Image
Hey guys, I’m back at it! I chose the movie Hereditary to research. I chose this movie because it embodies many aspects of the horror genre, which is what my group and I are basing our movie on. Some elements that the movie Hereditary shows is dark lighting and a suspicious setting throughout most of the intense parts of the film. This film also included weapons, bloody makeup, and special effects to enhance the horror aspect. There were also many angles such as close ups on the actors face to show a scary blank stare and high angles to show a lack of power upon a character. On top of this there were also many frightening sound effects such as screeching, screaming, intensifying spine chilling music, etc. All of these elements found in this film worked to produce an extremely scary horror film. Elements found in this movie that I admired was, the use of sound effects to help amplify the story being told. For example, they used sound effects to show that the boy was being possessed whic...

Comparing Le Jetee, the short, and 12 Monkeys, the full-length movie

Image
After watching the video, La Jetee (1962) vs 12 Monkeys (1995), I am able to compare this short film and full length movie. This video details not only the difference in plot and story told by each film, but also the intent and execution which has a large effect on audience. I learned about how even though La Jetee was only audio and still photos the unique story inspired many people and works since it was created in 1962 and is very comparable to 12 monkeys and has stood the test of time. The immense ability to story tell and evoke emotions in the audience qualifies it for many as a short film or, un photo-roman and not a simple slideshow of pictures. Chris Marker was able to tell an incredible story about memory and the passage of time in a short 28 minutes, while 12 monkeys tells a similar story with a full length movie, this however does not mean that 12 monkeys is a better film. I learned from this video about how the film was able to expand on plot and include mystery and thrille...
