Genre Research: Horror & Drama


After then, I decided to research a few more genres. I reached out to my peers to extend my learning to other genres such as horror and drama. My peer Amira Griffin had previoiusly studied the Drama genre and I begin going through her google slides. Instance in this slide you get a better understanding of  common movements in the Drama Genre such as Panning and tracking.  


Once I had gathered a better understanding of the Drama genre, I begin going into depth of the context that was incorporated in this genre. I was invested and then I came across the slide labeled Common Camera Angle. This page read, "Common camera angles in drama films and tv shows are high angles shots and Low angle shots." I realized how that in many drama films, it was common for a low angle.


I wanted to introduce myself to one more genre before deciding what my final films genre should be so I reached out to my fellow peer Vanessa, and she let me research her Horror powerpoint. While going through it,  I was fascinated by the Low-key lighting. We all know in a good horror movie you need to have dark rooms and low lighting to create suspense.


Lastly, we all know no good horror movie is complete without a good jump scare. Jump scares are produced through effective sound effects. Proper sounds produced in post production such as eeriesounds to create suspense.

 JOSEPH, Nervens 11th Grade Good morning, evening or night to whom it may concern- my name is Nervens Joseph and I am 16 year old currently enrolled in the 11th grader at Fort-Lauderdale Florida. I am in the Cambridge Magnet Program, and I also run track for the school. Within the next 18 sentence I intend to further elaborate about myself and the reasons why I am taking this course. To begin with, I am thankful to have an opportunity to grow and learn besides a wonderful group of students and teachers. This is my 2nd year taking As Level Cambridge courses and I am happy that I chose this class. This class in 6 short weeks has taught me detailed terms on Camera shots, Angles, and movements- Mise-en-Scene- and editing. I have been able to identify general terms used to describe shots and have already applied them to my normal everyday life. For instance, I was watching Fast and the Furious and I was able to identify different tilts, and angles such as a high angle in the beginning of th

 As I begin to advance in my filming processes, I discovered that filming is actually fun. I took two days off to film and to edit. so now I am basically done with the film I am relieved. Although my boss was mad, and I risk getting fired but my Cambridge diploma is worth more to me. What I have filmed... I have filmed primarily based on the storyboard. I am extremely proud that I have started filming and I am ready to wrap up the final project. I have faced many many challenges, from getting the proper props, to the financial aspect to my new job and no time. In my class, Media Studies, I have a very bad grade because I have not been blogging on time because I genuinely do not have any time anymore. I wake up at 5 in the morning, go to school until 3, then go to work right after school until 11. So I have 1 hour to film and I am not only exhausted but it's usually too late to be filming.  On my day off, I decided to start filming the first 2 scenes, but it was only seconds long.

Believers Music Video Editing Blog

I began editing my music video on December the 1st. This date was anticipated a lot earlier, however I have procrastinated and left time to catch me. Although I had procrastinated at the end of the day I know I would get the project done on time. I am anticipating to have my project finalized by the end of the week of the 7th. Now what have I discovered, learned, and done differently during this project? During the editing process I came a long way to where I am. I faced lots of issues and I knew I could get them fixed by trouble shooting them. During my editing process A lot of scenes were cut out and/or redone and did not make my final product. I did learn that, that’s ok to make mistakes and get them fixed. I had not yet filmed my flashback scene so I just got that done while I was editing.  Equipment  I used a 2018 IPhone XR for all the filming. ClipChamp was the main software that I used because it was free. IMovie however later I did not transport those cuts to my final product.
