    Because it is very beneficial to know information about a given item, research is the foundation for one's achievement on something. Ronneka and I investigated every aspect of the horror genre for this project. This was done to ensure that we had a reference point for distinguishing between the horror and other genres. Researching all of the different genres let us realize that while the same approaches can be applied in all of them, each one focuses on a distinct feature. These various components demonstrate the qualities of a particular genre. Horror movies, for example, make extensive use of sound effects and ominous settings. This aids in the capture of intense /scary scenes with loud sounds. A horror film is one that intentionally attempts to induce fear or disgust in its audience for the sake of entertainment. Horror films also seek to trigger nightmares and fear of the unknown or macabre in spectators. Horror has been a film genre for more than a century, having been influenced by works by authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, Bram Stoker, and Mary Shelley. Horror can also be found in the realms of fantasy, supernatural literature, and suspense. The invasion of an evil power, event, or personage into the everyday world is a common theme in horror plots. Psychological horror is an example of a sub-genre.

Planning: Storyboard "Dear Mother"

A dysfunctional mother-daughter relationship is the subject of our short film. The first shot of the first scene is of the outside of a house, which sets the tone for Roxy and Ms. Jackie's home. The shot then moves on to the interior of the house. Roxy is shouted at by her mother about housework in the next scene, which is more focused on the performers' relationships. There is a close-up of food on the floor, which Roxy must clean up as part of her tasks. This scene shows her and her mother going back and forth. Her mother then goes to the bathroom in the next scene. Roxy receives a phone call from a friend, prompting Roxy to see her pal.

Research: How to Make a Short Film

     This educational video gave me a better understanding of how to make our own movies. While viewing, I discovered that there were some topics I already understood, such as when they were discussing film making. However, the "How to Make a Short Film" video provided me with a wealth of new information that will aid me in the production of our short film. This video includes production and post-production advice from a film specialist. One point that stood out to me was when the expert said not to do it if you can't pull it off. Another suggestion is to play with the audience's emotions and minds. The expert emphasizes that it is either all or nothing, and that nothing should be done halfheartedly. This reminds me of the phrase "Go large or go home," which means "Go big or go home."      The film expert explanation reminded me of this statement because it indicates it's all or nothing. Adding needless elements to a scene because they appear t...

Filming: Actors #1 & 2

 So during the whole filming process after we decided who would be doing what, it was decided that Nishayla  and I would be the main characters to deliver the effects of the message implied I filmed a part of the scenes which is when the other two group members Rohanna and Idline played the part of the bully for Nishayla Actor #1. During that scene I wasn’t in the film because I had to film that specific scene while we put to get her the set and scene.  My job was to make sure that Nishayla was set in place while Idline and Rohanna waiting for my call to start the scene. I gave ideas on how to show that bullying was taking place and it ended with the idea that the bag was to be gone through as as an invasion of privacy and tossed everywhere were the contents in the bag while leaving actor #1 to pick up her belongings or what remains of them on her own while she sits there sad and lonely. This gives off her signs of having depression and suicidal thoughts. The camera used ...
