Genre Decision Blog

 For the opening sequence, I chose to do horror. I have done a lot of research into this genre and I feel very comfortable with doing it. I have a lot of information of the conventions and elements of horror. I know what type of lighting, angles, props, settings, costumes, etc. are popular among horror films. I also believe that I have a good idea for the final task. I had other choices of genres to do the opening sequence with. It was between horror, science fiction, and maybe mystery. When I was brainstorming, though, I realized I had a much more established idea for horror. I usually watch a lot of horror movies. Although, I usually watch them near Halloween. I also believe that I have a really good pitch for the opening sequence. Most of the props are easily accessible and some I can get from my house. I am going to use my sister's old Halloween costume for the killer. Since I already have some of the necessary materials, it would be easier for me to do. For research, I am going to re-watch some horror films. It would help with getting a better vision for the final task. It would also help me get an idea for what setting or props would be good for the killer. I could get some more inspirations from these films. The settings and props in a horror movie are significant, because it is what the audience typically associates with to the killer of the movie. For example, Michael Myers and the hockey mask or Pennywise with the red balloon.

Intro Blog: Starting the Final Task

  My name is Sasha Grivas and I am a student at Fort Lauderdale High School. I am a junior and this is my first year in Media Studies. I don't have any personal experience with doing film or any type of media before. However, I have learned so much knowledge so far this year about different shots, angles, movements, and genres. I have started to enjoy doing media, such as filming, editing, directing, etc. After doing some filming projects, I feel a lot more comfortable with filming. I am not as stressed as I would be, since I have had some practice throughout the year. For the final task, I have decided to do the project by myself. Personally, I work better alone. It is easier for me to decide on an idea that I like, instead of arguing with a partner on a pitch. For the next couple of months, I will also be out of state because of my mom's work. I would not be able to meet up with a group to film together. Most of the media projects I have done this year, I worked alone. I have...

My name is Sasha Grivas and I am a junior at Fort Lauderdale High School. Some interests that I enjoy are skateboarding, swimming, and knitting. I joined my first swim team when I was at a young age, around 6 years old, and have been swimming since. Swimming has always come natural to me, it wasn't a very difficult sport, but it still challenged and pushed me to become better. My favorite stroke is butterfly, even though it is the hardest one to do, in my opinion. I participated in districts last year, and I was in the butterfly set, and even though I hadn't qualified for regional, the experience has made me want to do better the next time.With practice and training, I've been able to push myself to swim faster. Skateboarding is a hobby I like to do when I want to go someplace by myself. I cannot drive yet, so I need some form of transportation to get me places. I have been skating for about a year, and I mostly just cruise around or travel with it. During quarantine, I hav...
