Movie Research Blog: Scream (2022)


What conventions of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? -  

Some of the conventions included in the movie Scream (2022) that I have decided to use in my final task include a variety of different things. In the plot the director uses settings with minimal lighting to produce an eerie effect. The use of sound and lack of it (total silence) has the viewers on the edge of their seats. Screaming, panting, spooky background music, phone ringing, etc produce many emotions of terror.  

 

What conventions of the genre did the movie have that you liked? -  

Conventions of the movie Scream (2022) that attracted me to it were the story line, the actors/characters, and the plot. The story line is one of suspense and unpredictability, giving it an exciting appeal. The actors and the characters they play are believable and have been consistently since the beginning of the Scream series of movies began. The plot, although somewhat predictable, often has many fun twists and turns.  

 

What conventions of the genre did the movie have that did not appeal to you and you are thinking of not filming for your final task? -  

Some of my biggest dislikes of this movie are the predictable scenes, the overuse of spooky music and screaming, and the killer behind the mask always appearing in plain sight everywhere the victims are. The most boring aspect is the bloody knife and piles of dead bodies. The settings of deserted houses and stormy nights are also overused in these films.

When it comes to producing and editing my all about me commercial, there are many key factors. The key factor I will be discussing are the songs I chose. I will also talk about where they will be used in the commercial. For the commercial I will be choosing two songs that represent me. These songs will describe me as a person. One song will represent one of my past favorite hobbies. The other song will represent a special moment in my life. But to start off with, I will announce the final picture and video order. It will start off with a picture of me age three, with my Mom and Dad. This will be followed by another picture of me age four at my first year of baseball. This will be followed by a video of me at five playing baseball. Then followed by a picture of me age seven with me, Mom, Dad, My sister, and my brother (complete family). Then this will be followed by a video at nine of me and my friends. This will be followed by picture of me at eleven at my baseball championship and las...

CCR: Question 1 and 4

Image
Hey Cambridge, I will be filming a day in the life of Dylan Tanner as I answer questions 1 and 4 of the CCR for AICE Media.   How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? In response to the first question, let’s break it down into two parts to better address both issues.   While filming this production, I chose to use a lot of shadowy imagery with fade-ins, fade-outs, tracking and sounds to build suspense without ever giving away the ‘actual monster’s’ face.   I used a variety of camera shots spanning from wide angles to close ups. I chose a variety of close-ups of the character’s faces to only reveal looks of horror and fear and to keep the identity of the ‘devil’ under wraps.    The music in the background starts out with a pleasant and low tone sound, with is paired with a visual of a clear road leading into the woods.   The tune becomes more ominous and the visual changes into a narrower an...
