Genre Research: Horror

The third genre of film that I will be researching is the Horror genre. Horror can be a very fun genre to watch with friends or family. I personally cannot watch horror films alone because I am too scared. It is the goal of movies in the horror genre to frighten and surprise their viewers. Horror movies frequently deal with themes of death, fear, and the unidentified and frequently feature supernatural or unearthly elements, such as ghosts, monsters, or demons. Jump scares, strenuous visual impacts, and suspenseful soundtrack are some of the common methods used in horror films to build tension and suspense. Gore and violent scenes are frequently used in horror movies as shock and disgust tactics. Horror is a very fun genre and there are many different categories of it. 

What elements of Horror do I enjoy?                                                                                                                                                          - I really enjoy costumes that are used in the horror genre. What makes horror interesting is how the outfits change from being clean to dirty, torn up, or even bloody. The outfits can have such a big impact on this type of film because they can induce fear if they are for example covered in blood. I also enjoy the use of sound in the horror genre. For example, instrumental music horror screeches and frightening music are also used. Personally I think all aspects of the horror genre are amazing. Though I would never watch these films alone. 

What elements of Horror do I not enjoy?                                                                                                                                                  - Once again I dislike the use of dark lighting that is used in these movies full of suspense. Once more, I entirely comprehend its use in building suspense. However, I think there are some situations where it actually lessens my enjoyment of the show. In very dark movies, I feel like I can't see everything I need to. They use these lighting tactics to evoke more fear in their viewers which is the exact intentions of a horror film.

Research: How to make a short film

Image
I learned more about how to create my own film by watching this video, "How to Make a Short Film."  Even though I had some prior experience making films, this video provided additional advice that will be useful to me as I continue to make short films.  In this video, a film specialist offers post-production as well as production advice.  I found two particularly noteworthy production tips: play with the audience's feelings and minds, and avoid it if you can't.  The advice to "don't do it if you can't pull it off" truly caught my attention.  The movie expert says that you shouldn't try to do something for the movie that you can't do perfectly. Incorporating unfinished content will only make your short film less accurate.  It will look less cool than it will if you add this awesome scene or feature to your movie, despite your belief that it will.  I will consider what I can and cannot accomplish with the resources I have when creating my story...

Genre Research: Drama

The second genre of film that I will be researching is drama. Drama has to be another one of my favorite genres of film because of that same aspect of suspense. A drama is a dramatic story about human struggle and feelings are included in the broad category of drama in film. Dramas frequently feature believable characters in normal circumstances while examining topics of connections, individuality, and personal development. The aim of the drama genre is to evoke empathy and thought-provoking perspectives from the audience by giving the viewer an understanding of feelings depth and relation with the characters. Dramas can be divided into a variety of sub genres, including historical drama, family drama, romantic drama, crime drama, and more. These motion pictures frequently have complicated characters and subtle plot lines, and they can be severe, heartwarming, or thought-provoking. Some of the main points that are focused on in this research of mine are the in depth meaning of what...

1. What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?  The first opening sequence that I researched was "Don't Worry Darling." The sequence begins off by displaying titles for the directors, screen writers, story writers, producers, director of photography, production designer, editors, music composer and conductor, visual effects supervisor, music supervisor, costume designer, and cast directors. After these titles are shown a list with actors that are in the movie begins to be displayed.  2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?  This opening sequence contains one shot being prioritized throughout the entire sequence. The video in the background is of many women dancing together. They are all wearing the same costumes and also wearing the same wigs. As well as the same makeup containing a red lip.  3. What connotations do these images carry?  The images carry a connotation of exciting but also ominous in a way. There are many scenes wh...
