The film is known for its way to always keep you in suspense with intense scenes usually involving Michael Myers. Michael Myers is a iconic horror villain and the film continues time and time again to display his seemingly relentless and unstoppable antagonist ways.

      For our opening sequence, it was decided to follow the horror genre. This was the chosen genre because this will allow the film to captivate the audience more through the use of suspense and other elements. Since the opening sequence will take place in the woods, it also allows us to keep the audience on their toes since anything could suddenly appear. Another thing that led us to choose this genre was the ideas that our group has already come up with which hugely connect to the horror genre. With the scene being detectives attempting to solve a case, the unpredictability of what might have occurred also aids in providing the audience with a sense of unease.

  One Genre we thought of was Horror! Common camera angles used in horror videos/movies would be high-angles often used to make characters appear vulnerable, low-angle to make characters look more dominant (often the bad one), Dutch angles are also used to create a sense of imbalance and close-ups are used to show fear on someone’s eyes or show a curvature smile. Common mis-en-scene in horror films are a dark setting in a rural location away from everyone, props often used are weapons such as knives, axes and chainsaws that would create a painful death,   Black, red, grey and brown would all be colours considered for a horror film as they all signify danger and tragedy, m ost people (mainly victims) in horror films look like the are dressed casually but a lot of effort is put into their outfits to show hints of their role and personality in the movie,  t he  weaker characters in the frame are the ones who are opposite the camera on the floor showing how positioning affects how the film

Our Pitch Blog Pitch A: A group of detectives are working on a case in the woods. Pitch B: Scientists go researching in the ocean and while researching the get caught in a unexpected storm.  Discuss Pitch A: We feel that this pitch is the one that is most favorable. This is because it would require less resources and be less expensive overall. We also have an interest in these type of films so we each have an idea of what is needed to be filmed. A main reason is that this choice would make it so that there is wide variety of locations to chose from. We also feel that this idea would be a more entertaining film because it would create suspense and mystery to the overall film. Discuss Pitch B: We feel that this pitch is the least favorable decision between the two. This is due to the resources we need are out of our budget and too difficult to obtain. Also the film will be too difficult to film on the ocean. Not only that but we believe that some of the effects needed in this film would

 Hey there blog! I have a new project that was presented today in class. Our teacher said that this project could be done by yourself or with a group. I was considering working by myself like I did for the Commercial project but I then realize that it would be a lot of work for myself. Luckily I had a friend that I already had done a project with. This project was the Music Video project. I felt like he would like to do this project again especially cause our last project did really well and we felt like it can be as well if not better this time. The reason I chose him initially was because it would make everything a lot easier This is because I actually know him and consider him a friend. This is vital because I trust him and can meet with him whenever to work on our project. I also know that he is a responsible kid and very hard working. This is important because it would make each of us have less work and we each have our own things to do. We would not like to spend the majority of

     Hello my name is Carlos Guerra. Let's begin with getting to know a little bit about myself. I was born on November 18th, 2005. I have no siblings so I am the only child in my family, and I only live with both of my parents.      I am currently a high school student in the 12th grade that attends Fort Lauderdale High. The reason I decided to go to the school was to get into the Cambridge magnet program and this is my final year to obtain the Aice diploma which means I have to make it count. The whole reason I decided to go to Fort Lauderdale was for the Aice diploma and if I don't get it then it would've been pointless cause not a lot of school give the opportunity like Fort Lauderdale does. Fort Lauderdale has been good though and I am not regretting coming here. I've made a couple of friends that helped these years going by pretty fast.      I have a couple of hobbies I like to do in my free time. One hobby is going to go play soccer with my friends. It would be a
