Genre Research: Friday the 13th

The final movie I have chosen that is from the Horror genre is Friday the 13th. I watched this movie a couple of hours in preparation to answer these questions. This is another movie I have long dreaded watching. I have always about the killer/villain Jason, but have avoided movies and video involving him. When watching the movie, I just started to skim past it because I was getting scared. I focused on the main details and the elements of the movie that were similar to the film I will make. This movie has a stalker, predator kills vibe. This movie has similar, if not the same elements as the other movies I have picked. Friday the 13th has suspenseful scenes. the element of surprise, jump scares, the setting and physical altercations. One example of the element of surprise that I saw was Jason being underneath the floorboards, and attacking one of the people in the woods. This example can also be used as a jump scare, since it was unexpected and shocked me. The physical altercations in this movie are not what I will be going for. Jason uses many sharp weapons, such as a machete, to hurt his prey. I am not planning on using any weapons, but there will be scenes of struggle. The setting of the movie is the woods with abandoned cabins in the middle of the night. The setting goes hand in hand with what I have in mind for my film. I want to film at night, in an open field or gas station. I have a mask that is associated with a horror genre show called Tokyo Ghoul. I planned to use it in my film to create a scary and creepy reputation for the "predator". This is another similarity that my film will have with this movie. However, I came up with the idea of including the mask into my film by myself, without thinking of this movie.

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...
