Short film research: Alma

 a. Typical Thriller Sound: * Spooky music: To create tension, thrillers frequently use powerful and unsettling music.

* Minimal sounds: They don't overdo the sound effects, just enough to keep you on edge.

Common Mis-En-Scène (CLAMPS) in Thriller: * Dim lighting: The combination of darkness and shadows evokes a spooky and enigmatic atmosphere.

* Weird settings: Unusual or spooky locations heighten the feeling of unease.

* Unsettling objects: Dolls and mirrors are examples of items that may be used to frighten you.

c. Typical Thriller Editing: * Rapid cuts: These add a lot of intensity and keep you on the edge of your seat.

* Juxtaposition: Irony or suspense are created by juxtaposing scenes or images.

* Slow motion: Delaying some scenes lengthens the suspense and highlights key moments.

d. Typical Movies of Thriller:

* Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" (1960) * M. Night Shyamalan's "The Sixth Sense" (1999) * Jonathan Demme's "Silence of the Lambs" (1991) Elements of the Genre That I Like: * Surprising twists: I love when thrillers keep me guessing with unexpected plot turns. * Cool cinematography: Visuals that make the movie suspenseful and a bit creepy.

f. The aspects of the genre that I find unappealing are:

* Too much gore: I'm not a fan of thrillers that have too much graphic violence just for shock. * Boring plots: Thrillers that follow the same old stories without anything new don't interest me.

Editing is now going smoother than before

 Every choice we make during the 5-minute film's editing process is informed by the ideas of mise en scène and C.L.A.M.P.S. media terminologies. By placing performers, setting the tone, and arranging accessories, mise en scène enables us to craft a scene so that each frame successfully delivers our tale. Camera angles, lighting, audio, mise en scène, performance, and special effects are just a few of the C.L.A.M.P.S. media terms that enhance our editing process and give our images more nuance and significance. Our film is evolving with every cut, every component well thought out to provide a seamless and captivating story. Our audience's emotions are elicited and the proper mood is established with the aid of lighting, costuming, and set design. Furthermore, movement and camera angles improve the narrative by placing viewers at the center of the action.Excitement is in the air as the editing process approaches its conclusion. Our efforts are clearly paying off since the movie c...

Allow Me To Introduce Myself

Hi, my name is Sarah Kraja and I'm ecstatic to soon begin this music video. I have some experience with technology since I am always using it, and I used to edit a lot of videos for fun when I was younger. I feel like that will be very helpful for me in this class because there is a lot of recording involved throughout the rest of the year. I always liked editing and filming videos when I was with friends so I have some of the basics down already. I am already in the process of brainstorming ideas for our groups music video because of how thrilling it seems. Now I'll get into some particulars about what I generally do throughout most days in and out of school. When I'm outside of school, I go straight home either on my bus, or my parents pick me up. When I get home, I tidy up some of the main areas around my house or room and then just relax for awhile. I used to fill my days with school volleyball everyday after school, however the season is over for this year. However, I ...

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

Short Film: What are some of my impressions? The short film "9" is our first true exposure to Acker's creative universe. The short and to the point style of the narrative pushes a focused scope of its plot, character development, special effects, and how he goes about directing. The plot unfolds with a sense of urgency, teleporting the audience in a post-apocalyptic world extremely different from the one we live in where mechanical beasts known as "Fabrication Machines" stay. Even through a small window of time, Acker easily pushes depth into the characters, creating an emotional connection with the audience. Even as the special effects are not Marvel Universe tier, they showcase Acker's readiness to invent a visually striking environment. The directorial style is illustrated through its to the point storytelling and a touching use of symbolism, setting the stage for the full-length feature.  Full-Length Film: What are my impressions? Backpacking off the pav...
