Genre Decision Blog

 I have come to a conclusion about which genre my opening sequence will be. I have chosen the horror genre. I want to keep the film to one theme and one genre.  I have always wanted to be a fake villian and scare others. I feel that horror is more creative than any other genre. The horror genre has aspects and characteristics of other genres as well. It includes action, adventure, and drama as well. Suspense and jump scares are dramatic which are included in horror films. This goes to show that you can do so much more with the horror genre, and there is much more room for creativity.  The other two genres that I was stuck between were action and drama. I am an athletic person, but I am not very flexible. I run track and I occasionally do exercises on my own time. However, I do not think I could make a good action movie. If I were to make one, I would want it to be the best it can be. I would want to include stunts, flips, fighting. I am too inexperienced to create an interesting one such as that. Additionally, my sister is not as athletic as I am, which would throw off the balance of the film. As fun as making a dramatic film would be, I'm afraid that movie wouldn't be top tier either. I do not really like too much drama. It is fun to watch at times, but eventually it gets too exhausting. I would not be able to put up that much of a front to make the film without getting irritated and feeling uncomfortable. The horror genre keeps things exciting and is in my comfort zone.

My Music Video

Image
  Filming this music video was somewhat complicated. Procrastination and my being shy played a big part in the delay of filming. From the beginning of the process of making this music video, I already had a plan. The song "Halfway There" came to me because it was stuck in my head. I thought it would be the perfect song to use due to its positive message, and the fact that it is school appropriate as well. In my music video, I did my best to give off an optimistic vibe in the video, but it was somewhat difficult. When it came down to filming the video, my cousin, my sister, and I worked as a team to obtain quality footage for the music video. In some parts of the video, the ecstasy was forced because we are not overly happy people. On the other hand, we did have some genuine moments of fun for other parts of the music video. The quality, the outfits how I planned them, the interaction, the acting, and the editing of the video are the things I am most proud of. The aspect I am ...

Genre Research: Horror

 This PowerPoint is a project I was instructed to do that is based on the horror genre. I worked on this PowerPoint in the beginning of the year with another student. We were asked to pick a genre from a list of other genres, and research it. Our research consisted of common lighting, camera angles, movements, Mise-En-Scene, elements of horror, example films, common sounds and what we like and dislike about the genre. I have noticed that this PowerPoint has been altered because the slide where I explained my dislikes about the genre is missing. Since this assignment didn't involve meeting in person, it was quite simple to complete. My partner and I split the amount of slides somewhat evenly, which means we each had a responsibility to finish our part of the project. I did the slides that involved videos, the Mise-En-Scene, the common angles and my dislikes about the genre. My partner did the common lighting, elements, film examples, and the likes about the genre. I knew how to add ...

Planning Storyboard for my Music Video

Image
 This storyboard represents how I would like the process of filming the music video for the song Halfway There. I will try to meet my own expectations and hope everyone follows through with my ideas. The first box is what I need to do in order to begin the filming process, which is to go to North Carolina to be with my family. The second one is how I will approach the idea of including my cousin and family in the video. I will then make sure they are ok with being on camera, and part of the music video. This is a very important part of the project because this could make or break it. The third one represents us planning which days to record the clips for the music video. The fourth one represents another important part of the filming process, the weather. The weather has to be what we desire it to be to even record. The plan is for it to be sunny outside to symbolize happiness. The fifth one represents us picking basic outfits to wear for the music video and props that people use e...
