Genre Research: Thriller and Horror

 








Both the thriller and horror genres helped us create more ideas for our film. Additionally learning about about all these genres helped us determine which one our idea fell under. It also showed us the important things needed to be included in our film. Especially the things to make it successful. Without properly learning these things it would've been extremely hard to complete all the steps needed for an amazing production. Throughout the entire process of learning we each ended up creating better ideas and adding them into our script. It also helped give us better insight into the genres and how we could better incorporate them. Studying the different genres made things easier for us and our other blogs.   

The horror genre helped us learn more about the art of suspense and jump scares. By watching different movies and seeing the types of cams and editing used we were able to get a better understanding of a lot of things. It showed us how the art of slow camera movements and things such as low angles, high angles, and tracking can be used to help give off dramatic effects. It also helps contribute to jump scares, which we hope to find very useful in the future. 



The thriller genre also assisted us a lot with our planning process. Especially when our film is a thriller.     Learning more about the genre we decided to choose obviously helped us tremendously. Every little detail went into the outline of our film to improve it.  Learning about the common cams, sound, and effects helped us better plan and also determine what genre we were into. Learning also showed us an outline of how our outfits should look, and even how our personalities and body language should be. All of these put together can help us so much, and give us the knowledge we need to pass the exam. Horror and Thriller helped us the most though, directly tying into our ideas and plans.

Production Blog- filming day

 This blog will go over our first filming day which was on March 7th. To start off the morning i had to get up at 8:30 so i could reach Kerens house by 10 o'clock. Even with this extremely early wakeup call though i still arrived 20 minutes late. Upon arrival i realized that only me and Eric were the only ones who arrived, Mya was missing. Mya let us know that our amazon package didn't arrive at our house yet, and we needed it to film since it had our camera lenses. She said if it wasn't there soon she would start driving around to different stores in hope of finding one similar. After an hour of prepping to film with Mya still not arriving Kerens mom decided that Mya should just start coming over to the house while we drive two minutes away to the Best Buy to see if it was there. While it wasn't there we did find something similar we could use and decided that dividing the bill three ways was just something we would have to end up doing. By the time Mya arrived we had ...

  1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? My commercial challenged conventions by exaggerating them throughout the video. Things such as theme, characters, plotlines, and mood are all used to help make a fun and family friendly atmosphere commercial. For example, including clips of my dog at the different points of the day gave the commercial a more home vlog vibe, which is what a lot of families like to do. My video helps to talk mostly animal lovers and families. It also addresses issues about finding the perfect dog collar, one that won't irritate her or other animals.   2. How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media text? My product engages with the audience by talking directly to them throughout the entire video. This is shown by me putting words on the screen each time a new clip started. And using words such as “your” so the person knows I'm talking directl...
