Today we are researching about the horror genre. The horror genre mainly use POV shots, handheld angles, Dutch angles, tracking shots, and extreme close ups. Horror genre likes the mis-en-scene to be in dark, rural, deserted locations that are isolated and mainly abandoned. It also uses all types of weapons, mainly hand held weapons that are not projectiles, as well as having certain super natural features. These features can be graveyards, haunted houses, or even isolated castles. Horror uses lots of special effects, shot placements, and transitions, which can be cutting or just regular fade in. For sound, it uses mainly stringed instruments, but also use breathing, synthesizers, monsters vocals, footsteps, ghost sounds, stabbing, slashing, or any flesh wound sounds. Insidious and Annabelle are examples of horror genre movies. I like the appeal and fright of horror, it brings a rush of adrenaline. I do not like how horror can get repetitive.

 Filming the racing sequences is one of the most exciting aspects of our film, as these moments will be filled with adrenaline and intensity. We want the audience to feel the rush of speed, the danger of the track, and the determination of the protagonist as he faces down each challenge. To achieve this, we’ve planned dynamic camera techniques that will emphasize the fast-paced nature of the races. One of the primary techniques we’ll use is the high-angle shot, which will capture the vastness of the track and the sense of scale as the cars race by. This shot will give the audience a sense of the protagonist’s smallness in the larger world of competitive racing, adding to the tension as he battles to rise through the ranks. In contrast, low-angle shots will emphasize the power and speed of the cars, making them appear larger and more imposing as they zoom past. These shots will intensify the excitement, making the audience feel as though they’re part of the action. Close-up shots wi...

Movie Research "Home Alone 1" suits the comedy genre with its arsenal of physical comedy, misunderstandings, and family dynamics.

The burglars' exaggerated, stereotypical portrayal felt a tad overdone. Also, character d...

I'm back!! My name is Nathaniel Greene and i'm here taking A level and am excited to be here. Here is a taste of what I like and dislike. I took this class because I enjoy editing and taking photos of cars. I enjoy sushi and barbeque as my favorite foods. I play varsity baseball here at Fort Lauderdale with other people in my class. My favorite class here at Fort Lauderdale would either be Media Studies or weight lifting. Tying into weightlifting, I love lifting weights and that helps me with my mental health. I love going to the beach and the pool. I live on the beach so this is very easy for me to do. I love cars and motorcycles. My favorite car is a Chevrolet Corvette z06. I enjoy this car not only because it is fast, but because the car is manual and I love to shift the gears myself. I love Fort Lauderdale as a school, mainly because of the people I have met. I used to play basketball at the YMCA. I met so many great people while playing. I also used to play soccer with par...
