Genre Research: Horror

-



  • Common camera angles, movements, and shots in horror - point of view shots, dutch angles, high angle shots, low angle shots, zoom movements, tracking shots, and extreme close-up shots.
  • Common Mis-En-Scene in horror - dark lighting, rural deserted locations, places that are abandoned and isolated, shadows, abandoned buildings, haunted houses, forests at night, objects like cobwebs, flickering lights, creepy dolls, religious symbols, items that signify death, creaking door sounds, footstep sounds, whispers, sudden loud noises, and characters dressed in a way that's that unsettling and make one uncomfortable.
  • Common Editing in horror - Cross cutting, cutaway, insert, shot/reverse shot, eye-line match, jump cut, and action match.
  • Common Sound in horror - diegetic sound, non-diegetic sound, sound bridge, sound motif, voiceover, ambient sound, and dialogue. 
  • Example films that are horror - "The Exorcist" (1973), "Get Out" (2017), "The Conjuring" (2013), "Paranormal Activity (2007), and "Scream" (1996). 
  • What elements of horror do I like? - The uses of sound, lighting, and settings that create a eerie environment interest me. I also like the suspense that builds tension, helps me stay interesting during the whole movie.
  • What elements of horror do not appeal to me? - Jump cut editings, always scares me way too much. I don't like the acting sometimes due to them being too violent.

The whole planning part of choosing my pictures consisted of searching for old pictures of me on major events of my life when I was younger. It took me a long time to find the right pictures. In the span of two hours I was able to find 4 pictures and 1 video that I want to choose. The reason I only choose childhood photos is because I do not take pictures of me currently, most of the time when someone wants to take a picture of me I say no. The very few pictures that I do have I don't like how I look in them, I'm not photogenic at all. The first picture I chose was on my very first halloween. Halloween is a holiday that I find very enjoyable. The fact that it is during fall is just one of the the advantages. Halloween is a day where you can be creative and dress as anything you want, the whole idea of coming up with a costume idea is simply the best. Coming to school and seeing people dressed up, going out at night with your friends on Halloween, knowing that Thanksgiving and C...

I am a 15-year-old girl who was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale, FL. I have two siblings, one older brother and one older half-sister. My older brother lives with me, but my half-sister lives in Colombia. Neither one of my siblings look like me, however, everyone says that I look just like my mother. I love just being able to relax alone or with my friends more than anything. To me, relaxing alone is laying down in my bed using my phone or electronics. When I say relaxing/hanging out with my friends, I mean going to the beach, mall, movies, etc. I hate being bored, and I get bored easily, so whatever I do has to be something that interests me. I hate Sundays, because it is a reminder that I have school the next day and have to wake up at 6 in the morning, summer and long vacation's are what I like, those things just include: not having to worry about school, not having to wake up early (which I hate), staying up late (which I love), and much more. I love pasta, chicken alfredo p...
