Mood Board Blog Post

                           HORROR 






My mood board trails the genre of horror, Horror that splits in many different subgenres. The genre horror though in specific is a genre used to convey disgust and suspense within an individual. Its theme is mean to create a sway of uneasiness and an atmosphere of mistrust within the audience. Props in horror movie are most usually props that are linked to Gorey, bloody murder. Examples being Chainsaws, Machetes, Knifes, and other sharp objects (shattered glass often being used as well often.). Dark low-key lighting is also greatly associated with the horror genre, the dark themes often setting the mood with incidental music and deep melodies setting the fear factor right before many scenes and used to initiate suspense. Colours are also associated deeply with the horror genre, its subgenres further expanding on this factor. Dark desaturated colours with mainly reds are mostly associated with horror films, Ghostface being an example of this. My mood board showed above has much of this representation.

While my mood board represents more of the stereotypical expectants of what is expected by the genre, horror has a plethora of subgenres that vary from this, clowns and pastel horror showing bright colours and extreme moods to strike uneasiness within a consumer, other genres such as liminal horror use two states of being and often secluded to set fear within an individual and really make them think and cause panic. Many subgenres from the original also branch off, all creating their own sense of unease and mistrust.

Horror, through years is also conveyed differently, certain films being known as the 'classics' etc.: Friday the 13th, Nightmare on elms Streat, Micheal Myers, and chucky with many more.MY mood board being associated with horror movies the Popes exorcist being one of them, some ending with worse endings than others, while some end happily with all their problems solved. My mood board represents a small part of this ever-growing genre, as it continues to adapt and split throughout the years as it develops with ourselves as a human race.

Finished Project Feelings Blog Post

I feel dissatisfied with my final opener, I feel if my team members actually pulled their weight and participated that we would of successfully made things correctly up to vision rather than speak about helping then pressure me last minute to complete the entirety of the project. Some issues were filming, it was actually a major issue. I was the only one willing to buy and CORRECTLY use props, I also was the Foley stage for the extra sounds, I also filmed all scenes but 1-2 which had to be modified to make the already easiest scenes easier, and I had to participate in parts of the project that were not my expertise and or my job to do as agreed. I feel like if I had partners who were as dedicated as me we would have had a project that was outstandingly perfect. I learned that if you want things done to do them yourself and to not wait on words, I'm also learned how to correctly modify props and make them fit my view and how to negotiate with actors onto what they would like to do a...

Creative Critical Reflection Post

  How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues?   The movie is themed as a mystery horror, the stereotypical black wearing killer was not seen in ours or that it was someone of a less fortunate backstory. We also kept stereotypes within our film by the killer being unmasked, but also combated this by the killer being shown and present in the first scene rather than later introduced. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?   It is meant to attract and hold medias focus with its mystery aspect part of it, every individual who i have spoken to about this film has mentioned that it is unsolved and that they are curious about it and don't understand, leeching for more information to be provided. The wow aspect for our film is generally meant to be the solving of this crime as everything unfolds, in what we filmed it does not included that wow factor as much as it d...
