Ever Been Scared of Your Nanny?

- February 23, 2023

Hey guys, so the next step we took in researching our title was to watch an example of an opening sequence from a horror movie. We used the website Art of the Title and watched the opening sequence from the movie "Nanny." 1. What titles are displayed during the opening sequence? The titles displayed during the opening sequence were "Amazon Studios Presents," production companies, and "a film by" (producer). 2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? The images prioritized are of a woman laying down with a spider crawling on her face. The woman has her eyes closed for the majority of the time, until the very end when they fly open and she gasps. 3. What connotations do these images carry? The women lying down seems at first to be peaceful, however, the presence of the spider carries a negative connotation. Spider's are typically thought of as terrifying creatures and symbolize fear. The presence of the spider on the one's face can sho...

Filming Blog: Getting through the first scene

- March 15, 2023

Welcome back everyone! Today, I'll be telling you guys about my fourth day of production for this project. In my last blog, I talked about the final details of preparation that was taken prior to filming and mentioned the first scene. For this production blog, however, I'll be talking about all the scenes we were able to film inside, which would be about half the scenes. As previously mentioned, scene 1 is stationed in the kitchen. I knew I had to be cutting some type of food on the cutting board, but I had to ensure it was easy to slice through and would not result in being a waste of food. I decided to use some fruit as I could hold the plum in my hand while cutting. This motion of simply cutting the fruit took a few tries to make it seem more natural, but once I got the hang of it, it became easy. The fruit even ended up being a snack for later! While I was cutting the fruit on the cutting board, I also had to maintain my face hidden behind a cabinet door. This proved mor...

Part of the Top 10 Horror Movies We'd Suggest

- February 19, 2023

Hey guys! So the next researching step our group took was to research different movies from our selected genre and analyze them. For the first movie, we chose to look at "A Quiet Place," and we found it to be very interesting. 1. What elements (conventions) of the horror genre does this movie have? When watching "A Quiet Place," we noticed that may conventions of the horror genre were present. First, diegetic sounds like harsh breathing, creaking, crying, footsteps, and dry leaves rustling were used throughout the film. Since there was minimal dialogue incorporated, the diegetic and ambient sounds help to set the tone for the movie and make up for the lack of dialogue. Nondiegetic sound was also incorporated, and like most horror films, fast paced and suspenseful music was used during climactic scenes. Conventional camera angles were also used throughout the film. For example, during a scene were the victims were running for their lives, a tracking shot...
