why i picked horror



I chose horror because horror is a fascinating genre to me. The whole point of horror is to take the worst fears of people and use those save fears to entertained them through scaring them all the same. That is what inspired me to pick the horror genre. One of my favorite horror movie is “A Nightmare On Elm Street” because it has one of the best openings to me. The movie starts with someone constructing knife gloves perfectly fit for his or her hands. The character’s face never once gets revealed during the construction of the gloves drawing in the audience even more because they want to know who the person is. Is he/she the bad guy or the good guy the audience wants to know. Then the movie cuts to a woman who is running away from something or someone obviously scared out of her mind. The person is never revealed though. This also draws the audience in more because they start to wonder if it is the same mysterious person that was making the gloves in the beginning or if its someone or something else. The woman is eventually gets caught up by the thing that was chasing her and is revealed to be a human that sounds like a man and he is wearing the glove from the beginning of the movie. The mysterious bad guy cuts the girl and then the girl woke up revealing that that its was all a dream. The girls parents comes in her room revealing to her that the place she got cut by the mysterious bad guy in her dream go cut in real life revealing to the audience that whatever the bad guy does to you in your dreams happens to you in real life and that is scary.




My second and final favorite horror movie opening is “Friday the 13th 5”. Starts off with two teenagers that go and wake jason up again from his grave thinking that he is dead. They dig his grave out and take out jason’s coffin and immediately after they did that jason wakes up and proceed to kill both teens, and gets up and walks slowly to the third kid that was hiding in the bushes. The kid was frozen out of fear and could not run away and begged jason not to kill him. Jason shows no remorse and proceed to go for the killer blow, before the blow could land someone wakes up and the audience sees that it was all a dream all along. This is a good movie opening because it immediately starts off with action and does not make the audience wait a long time. This is good because it makes the audience want more action and makes them focus on the movie even more waiting for the next thing that scares them. Sometimes using the mystery is good and others getting right to the point is good these two movies used these completely different opening to create great movies.

five master shots

Youtube link:  https://youtu.be/Rtx8UQ0GgZ4 Five Master Shot: Contrast:  For the shot for contrast its a fake and real palm tree. Once we zoomed in the fake palm tree the real one showed up. Shows contrast between the real and fake tree. Parallelism:  For the parallelism shot its two videos with that share similarities. The shot shows a cheerleader doing some cheering and a football player running the ball. It goes back and forth between the two events to show parallelism. Leit Motif:  For leit motif I went up to some random kid on his phone and threw his phone. I was the bully and after sad music played in the background. Simultaneity:  The shot is of me and Arianna walking up and down the stairs. We are doing actions that are similar but with I was going up the stairs and Arianna was going down the stairs. Symbolism:  For symbolism its a video of Antwon standing under the Haitian flag. We tilted the camera down from the flag to Antwon...

Five Master Edits with Sound Effects

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvk1-WL_LiY Contrast: For the contrast we put the song star ship because it was up beat like the actions going on in the video with the cheerleader and the football player running. Shows that what was happening was supposed to be fun. Parallelism: For parallelism We used a classical song on the painting of the palm tree because the tree is art and even though it looks like a real palm tree it is not. We used tropical music on the real palm tree because we wanted to create a sense of vacation vibes. Leif Motif: For the Leif motif we used the sad sponge bob because one kid was been mistreated by another kid. The song is a sad song to show that the kid being mistreated is sad. Simultaneity: For simultaneity we used song effects of someone going up and down stairs. we used the fast footsteps for me since i was going up the stairs faster then Arianna who was going down the stairs slowly. Symbolism: For symbolism since we symbolized Awton being Haiti...

brainstorm and summary

Video 1 brainstorm: The film opening had great transition and a clear plot Although you could clearly see that all the shots he made was just thrown top corner and not actually kicked there He was good at soccer but the opening could have improved if he actually made the shots Good choice of music Video 2 brainstorm: Liked how it transitioned from all the time the girl was on her phone to her being captured The opening had a massage Builds suspense right away Video 3 Brainstorm: Didn’t like that opening Pretty boring Video 4 brainstorm: Upbeat music Didn’t really know what genre they were doing at first Would actually watch the movie if it was real Liked the ending builds suspense Video 5 Brainstorm: Feels like a tmz stalker film Weird plot because the main bad guy is telling the therapist all he did and the therapist is just sitting there Had good transitions Captured the insanity of the villain/main character Unique point of view Video 6 brainstorm: Right choice of custom Great ...
