    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.

Short Film Research: ( Migrants/ Drama)

       This short film was 8 minutes long and the plot was pretty easy to figure out basically there were polar bears being pushed out of their home lands due to global warming and exiled from brown bear territory being left to fend for themselves on the ocean. In the beginning of the short there was a climax point where the baby polar bear fell of the ice and into the water from the ice breaking and the mother jumps after the baby. This was a great way to start the film it immediately introduce the drama factor that a film should have lots of heart racing and anticipating moments. There was a conflict with the polar bears and the brown bears over food and the was another great way to help deliver a message. Although it is animated the film didn't use and real dialogue just animal noises such as grunts and snorts and well as instrumental music in the background.     It reminds me of how lonely many of us are. It can be interpreted as a political manifesto, ...

Introduction to the Music Video Project

 So today I started my music video project I have officially decided on whether or not I wanted to work with anyone and who I would be working with. I had a hard time since I get nervous working in group especially when I don’t know anyone really. However I managed to find a group. I decided to work with three other girls. Rohanna, Nishayla, and Idline. I knew them since middle school and got lucky when I found out we all had the same class so I was able to successfully see to it that I got a comfortable group to efficiently get the work done.  I choose to actually work in a group rather than by myself because I know me doing it alone would be very overwhelming. I have been struggling lately and falling behind on a lot. So having someone around to keep me motivated and help give me ideas on how to participate daily and move to be productive in my work was an essential part in making sure I progress in this class. US History is a hassle with all the hand written work the teache...

Comparing 9, the short, and 9, the full-length movie

               The Short: My first impressions of the 9 short film was a bit confusing and when things slowly began to make sense in the end we were left with a weird cliff hanger and although it didn't make much sense seeing the numbers stitched onto other ghost dolls backs before the screen goes out helps establish that there is more to the story and that the is an explanation to what we were seeing. We couldn't really tell what the plot was in the beginning of the short it was hard to put two and two together but after seeing the  ghost dolls it can an appeal of an post-apocalyptic event that happened with 9 being the only survivor of his kind in the all out war. In the character development you could see that 9 was alert and nervous yet curious to find out whats going on and what he can do to survive. The character built a sense of fight or flight mode during the chaos in the short. We saw that there were lots of special effects i'm ...
