Two Different Genre Research

The genre of horror is very essential of the movie business. It consists of 5 elements: imagination, suspense, fear, foreshadowing, and mystery. Suspense is what's known to be the most important aspect of a horror movie. Some horror movies use make-up and costumes to disguise as the monster and wicked creature. However, this is only for the bad creatures, the normal or regular people are usually natural with look and casual clothes. The lighting on most horror movies are very dark to create more suspense so that you don't know what's about to happen or pop out. The acting of the characters consists of acting scared to death. I say to death because a lot of horror movies usually end in death or is threatened by death. Main props I see used in horror movies is blood and knives. Blood is believe to do the most essential prop of course. Sound in horror movies includes suspense music that will usually indicate that something big is coming or about to happen. The movie will usually go from being very quiet to very loud. The setting my take place at a grave sight, at home, in the woods, or in abandoned buildings. Camera angles and shots are almost always close-up to medium because film making wants everyone to see the horror up close in person so that the audience may be scared. Zoom is t, he most common camera movement used in horror film because it creates a dramatic affect that creates suspense and fear. One thing I like about horror movies is the sound of the suspense music when you can tell something is about to happen. However, one thing I do not like the scary parts itself because they other give me nightmares. Examples of horror movies include: The Conjuring, Anabelle, It, It Follows, and Don't Breathe.
Another cool genre used a lot in film is fantasy. My personal favorite fantasy movie is Jumanji. Fantasy films often have an element of magic, myth, wonder, escapism, and the extraordinary. Many fantasy movies used make-up and costumes to cast the look of another person. A person of unreal character. The lighting in most fantasy movies are usually very bright and takes place in a bright setting. The setting is almost always outside. The acting of the characters are jolly and extraordinary. Main props used in fantasy movies include magic and supernatural powers. The sounds in these types of movies can range from upbeat music to non-diegetic sound. Depending on what is going on at the time, the sound and music will vary. Camera angles and shots ranges from extreme close-up to long and wide shots to show plot and setting. Zoom, pan, tilt, and tracking shot are common in fantasy movies. My favorite thing about fantasy movies is that even though in the movie the people may have supernatural powers, it shows how people can be just as brace and strong in real life. That you don't need a cape and super powers to be a hero make a impact. However, one thing I do not like is that sometimes the fantasy movies can be corny while trying to be funny. Example of fantasy movies include: Malficent, Avengers, The Hobbit, and Jumanji.
