 HORROR BLOG(Title: Horror: Genre Conventions Research)  

Film examples:  

  • Countdown 

  • It 

  • Halloween 

 

 

CAMS 

 

Low angle-to show who's the weaker characters  

High angle-to show who's the stronger character  

Over the shoulder shots- to show a conversation between each other  

Two shot-to show the interaction between two characters  

Three shot-to show interaction between three characters  

Wide shot- to establish a flowing scene  

Tracking shot- to create a mood that someone is following you 

Close ups- to show the characters terror emotion 

 

CLAMPS 

Costumes-the costumes of the main antagonists are really scary and iconic(such as masks)  

Make up - same thing with the make it goes hand and hand with the costume helping boost the scariness points  

Props-goes hand and hand with costume and make all have to align with the main antagonist and protagonist  

Setting-aligns with the story line of the movie  

 

EDITING 

Fades to different scenes 

Inserts to emphasize objects or places 

 

SOUND 

Powerful non-diegetic sound effects to increase fear 

Diegetic sound (floors creaking, metal scraping, characters screaming) 

Soundtracks are reserved for the least scary parts 

 

An element that has potential is the suspense when the killer is near with over shoulder shot showing what the killer is on the hunt on, mostly created from the sound, diegetic and non-diegetic. An element that is not as interesting is the setting of the calming scene and going to in depth with the backstory, mostly regarding the mis-en-scene.

Queued In Quads

   Hey everyone my name is Hervis Guerrier and my group mates are Kayla, Ariel, and Zahra. First lets talk about the last group assignment we had together was really great went very smooth. Everything worked out like I said our charaterics matched and we clicked. The way we fit was individual for  example, I fit in this group, I personally think I bring so much as a group mate. Even though I’m a primarily independent person I think I hold my own weight in a group. That attribute I obtain would me help me help others. I also tend to do assigned work early because I’m a student athlete and I have to manage my time well. Also I tend to get along with anyone so I don’t think there will be any conflicts with my group mates. Now for  Kayla is the definition of a leader I’ve worked with her in the past in groups and all the times she was the leader, she does a great job of keeping everyone on task and works throughout everyone’s weaknesses...

Filming

Filming was pretty simple for me to be honest, I only had to retake a few scenes but other to that everything went smoothly. Firstly we went out to film the sun was at the best angle it gave me the right amount of light and exposure expressly showing the vibrant color of the cleats showing the good texture also the sun was hitting the grass very well I had a perfectly vibrant green. The sun also help me sweat even faster even though I have Hyperhidrosis, it helped emphasize the work that I was putting in with the cleats. I was filming by my self, so I couldn’t achieve the great camera angles I imagined, but I tried to do the best I can do by myself. I feel like with the editing that I have in mind would make it a lot better in my opinion. Honestly even though the concept was simple I learned expectation vs reality really plays apart in filming even though I didn’t think I did that bad in filming for the first time I just had a bigger expectation like what the pros do, I definitely want...
