Portfolio Project Genres

 AICE Media Portfolio Project Genres 

     Hey! Let's talk about movie genres that me and my group have been looking at for our portfolio project. We are deciding between horror and romance, but before we decide anything, we have to research, so come with me while I research these two genres. 

      Suspense/Horror 

   A lot of scary movies aren't scary because of what is said, but because of what you see. Some ways to build tension is by having long and scary silences, eerie music when necessary, use the right types of shots that will make your scene come together, good transitions (if any used), slow camera movement, loud noises when something scary appears on screen, unexpected turns, scary atmosphere, jump scares, and the fear of the unknown. You should also develop your characters well, deciding on their personality and how they will fight this monster or killer, you also have to develop the antagonist well, deciding if its going to be a monster, a person, or an animal and deciding what they will do that's so scary, how they'll act, and when the protagonists will discover who the antagonist is.

   The main thing that makes a horror movie great is built tension and how you make your audience scared and waiting to find out what will happen next. Built tension and suspense are the main things for a horror movie, if there is no suspense then the audience won't be that engaged since they won't be that scared. 

     Romance

   There are many romance tropes that could be used in a romance movie, like enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, forbidden love, fake relationship, love triangle, love at first sight, and many others. The love trope is one of the most important things in a romance movie, it sets context and background to the audience and gives the audience an idea of how the characters relate and how they feel about each other. Another really important thing is developing the two main characters, how will they act towards each other and towards other people, how will they treat each other, how did they meet, and many things of the sort.
