SUB GENRE:COMEDY  HORROR










 For a mini research project I was given the task of watching a film that is compatible to a specific sub genre of horror that I was given at random, the genre I was given was comedy horror.

Comedy Horror- A film genre that combines elements of comedy and horror fiction. Comedy horror has three main types of film; Black comedy, parody and spoof.

Scary Movie is a spoof of the Scream movies, which themselves lampoon traditional horror flicks. That would make Scary Movie a spoof of a spoof. The plot, such that it is, revolves around a bunch of stereotypical teens targeted by a crazy killer determined to dispatch the whole gang.
The writers often go for the cheap laugh in this movie, frequently at the expense of minorities. And the scenes involving male organs and bodily fluids. While Scary Movie's thin plot mirrors scenes from Scream, the comparison ends there. All three Scream movies relied on witty dialogue and engaging characters, something that Scary Movie desperately lacks.
A costumed killer chases a flatulent, underwear-clad character and stabs her, piercing her breast implant. A grandmother is thrown down steps to impede a killer's progress. A retarded deputy soils his pants.

This fits in with the comedy horror sub genre because it correlates with alot of popular modern horror movies and gives them the comedic edge, add that along with its crude and overacted scares, it demonstrates that horror and comedy can coincide as one.

Evaluation - In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

Forms and conventions define a genre and are the way in which something is done. Within my work I have used, challenged and developed  some of these forms and conventions. My genre was in the shape of supernatural Horror. The main fil I compared my film to was paranormal activity and their conventions. Supernatural Horror usually sets place in an environment that is deemed safe. For example I set my location at a house where you would think nothing can harm you. Giving it that realism to the audience that these events about to occur can happen anywhere. With the location comes a powerful creature lurking in the shadows waiting to pounce. Throughout the film this evil being torments the characters till its satisfied. My film includes just that as the evil being controls and plays with the main character to the point where her boyfriend is worried and asking questions. Another convention of this genre is the use of dark tones and depressing features. My film follows that convention a

Evaluation - How did you use media technologies in the construction and research, planning and evaluation stages?

Production The first stage of our production was to collect all of our footage in total we had about 4 different filming days at different locations. To film we used a Canon EOS 700D and a tripod. This camera is a DSLR camera so we knew that we would be able to collect good footage of a high quality. We then again used this same equipment to create our ancillary’s. I used blogger once again to store all my research and information. This time it was a lot easier to use since I have used it before. However there was some technical difficulties as some pictures would not adjust to the position I wanted them to be in. All in all it was a smooth experience using blogger again. Canva is another piece of software I used for my double page spread and my poster. I enjoyed using canva a lot. It is very easy to navigate your way round the program and can make some great things. I had no problem with using it and would gladly use it again. I used something called IMovie
