Genre Research : Horror and Comedy

Genre: Horror   Common Lighting- Uplighting, Shadow Lighting, and Under Exposure Lighting.  Common Camera Angles- Low Angle, Canted/Dutch Angle, and Close-up Angle. Common Movement- Tracking, Handheld, and Pan. Common Mis-En-Scene- Scary costumes, Creepy Settings, Horrific Props, Blunt/Loud acting, and Frightening makeup. Example of films- IT, Annabelle, and Us. Common sounds- Dialogue, Stings, and diegetic sound. The elements we like are the suspense and mystery because that engages the audience and entertained throughout the film.Also, the intense and dramatic background noise/music because it helps create suspension. The elements that do not appeal to us is the predictable and uniformed decisions the characters make like they hear a sound coming from the basement and they go there to see what it is. This usually means the characters are walking towards danger which the audience can expect what is going to happen next.  ...

Our Pitch

          Sonali and I came up with two pitches that involves a little girl. The first pitch is a little girl is kidnapped and taken from her family. The second pitch is a daughter finds her biological dad who is a mafia leader. For the first pitch, I would use my little sister to play the little girl that is being kidnapped and my brother as the kidnapper. Sonali and I would be the witnesses for the kidnapping. Sonali and I would make a missing person's flyer to capture the reality of a kidnapping.This pitch is enough for a film because it is very realistic and common. For the second pitch, Sonali or I would play the daughter that finds her biological dad and that he is a mafia leader. My brother would be the biological dad which means he will play the role of the mafia leader too. Both pitches are very intriguing and an attention grabber. Also, these pitches can easily be filmed because it does not need a specific setting.. Both pitches are incredibly interest...
