Genre - 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.

Hey Media Studies Crew, welcome back! Today, my crew and I tackled another crucial step in our filming process: collecting props. This film requires quite a few props and costumes to set the right tone. We needed outfits with a casual vibe and various essential props. We kicked things off by meeting up at the thrift store near our school, 'Out of the Closet'. There, I snagged a cheap yet suitable outfit that epitomized a typical teenager, along with some makeup tools to add realism to the "dead" look we're aiming for. We tried our best to split the costs evenly among us. After that, we quickly headed to my house to start practicing with our new props. On the way home, we spotted another store, 'Goodwill', so we made a brief stop to check out anything else of interest. However, we didn't find anything else worthwhile, so we continued home. Once there, I made sure everything was in order before running through my scenes a few times. I rehearsed them thor...
Hey Media Studies Crew, good to have you back! Today, my group and I continued practicing some shots and angles. I started off by letting my group know that they could come over, to film. I made sure all the props we had gathered last time were accounted for, and then I went through my scenes repeatedly. Before hitting record, I practiced a few times with the props. These recordings will serve as our starting point for the film. Once I review the footage, I'll make any necessary adjustments or improvements before putting together the final video. Moving on, I shot my first scene where I checked outside the door for any potential stalkers (played by Michelle and I). However, this scene had to be redone because the lighting wasn't cooperating. I was aiming for a dark vibe, but it ended up making everything look unwatchable. It took a few more tries, but eventually, I got the lighting just right. As I got into the groove of filming, I managed to capture some great shots of what I...
