Genre Research: Horror

 I researched this genre because I thought it might be a good fit for my pitch. While researching the horror genre,  I noticed several elements that would be beneficial. The feeling of suspense was the biggest one. Throughout this research, I put a small presentation together. This presentation discusses all of the elements of a horror film. Maybe not all but the most important ones yes. I'm not sure if I will use this genre yet. I still have research to do on a few more genres. I do feel as if a movie about kidnapping will fit within this genre. Things such as camera movements and lighting are discussed in the presentation below. I also included information on common mis en scene. Horror movies have many unique features. These features evoke emotion from an audience. This is what I want my film to do. Hopefully, people will be able to feel my story. This is why it is so important to pick the correct genre. I still have research to do on other genres that may be a good fit. I feel as if a kidnapping is scary, which is the exact emotion horror provokes. I have a great feeling about this genre. It may end up being my final decision.

 So at this point, I'm 100% sure of my song choice. I know I'm not the only one by Sam Smith is my final decision, no changing it now. As my storyboard shows, I'm not the best artist. In this blog, I will take the time to detail each of the 12 squares. Each of the scenes is only in 2 locations, so I can't foresee a problem with filming. I now have actors in place, but for now, they will be referred to as actor 1 and actor 2.  square 1: Actor one lies awake as actor 2 leaves early in the morning.  square 2: The scene cuts to actor one at the beach contemplating sadly, as she reflects on her relationship. square 3: Actor one stares out of the window solemnly in the kitchen as actor 2 comes up behind her with flowers.  square 4: Actor 1 notices a message on actor 2's phone confirming her suspicions. square 5: actor 1 lies awake another night, as actor 2 sleeps peacefully. square 6: The scene cuts back to actor one sitting on the beach reflecting, and then suddenly she ...

Creative Critical Reflection Zephyrhills commercial

Image
My product uses conventions. When it comes to advertisment, many tend to focus on convinience. My commercial does just that by showing how prepackaged water can be useful in a multitude of locations. The product does however contain one social issue that i failed to show or elaborate on. The use of plastic is something that is bad for the environment. While advertising convenience, i did not mention anything on how to combat these social issues. My product engages with the audience because it provides a sort of storyline. As the commercial plays, viewers are taken through a full day of tasks. Each task is a normal thing that most people have done at some point. It would be distrubuted as a real media text through an adverstismet commercial which encourages veiwers to buy the product. Throughout this project my production skills developed immensly. The concept of a storyboard was introduced to me and it helped me immensley. I learned that its better to have a plan and det schedule to ma...

Zephyrhills filming commercial blog

 Throughout the filming of my commercial, I ran into a multitude of problems that put me behind schedule. The weather was bad, which I had planned for, but I still wanted to keep the main concept of my commercial. In order to do this, I had to push the filming date back until the weather was more suitable. To begin the filming process, I took the shots I could do from home. The backyard shot, as well as the slow-motion scene showcasing the water, was done first. I shot each scene on my iPhone. The next step, was the beach scene as it was the furthest away so I wanted to get it done. The process was short, as I only did three takes, incorporating a selection of angles for me to chose from. The next scene I shot at was the park. I found a small park next to my house filled with natural light. I felt this was the perfect place to make my shot look like in incorporated nature. Once again, it was a short and simple process. I did about 5 takes here, so I would have options for my final ...
