My partner and I have decided to do the song “Meet Me Halfway” by the Black Eyed Peas. This song would most accurately fall under the genre of R&B, or Rhythm and Blues. R&B includes elements of pop, soul , funk, and hip-hop. Some features commonly featured in R&B music videos include: Costumes / Make -up : > Women wear minimal clothing to make themselves more attractive to male audiences > Women wear l ots of accessories, like high heels and jewelry, and non - cheap clothing to show their audience they are desirable. > Women have perfect make-up and hair, to give them a goddess effect and support the idea that they are perfect > Clothing for females in slow paced songs are usually plain and the make-up is natural, to give the artist a natural goddess appearance. > Males are usually topless to appeal to female audience.

I just watched US, directed Jordyn Peele, as a part of my genre research. After researching the codes and conventions for the horror genre, I couldn't help but spot a lot of them in this movie.

This detail becomes important towards the end of the movie, when the mom's reveal that their roles are switched. Lighting is an important factor in creating the movie's suspense.

I have been informed that the final task will the first two minutes of a movie. When I heard this, I got a little nervous because I heard a few terms I am not familiar with. One thing I wasn't familiar with was a pitch. I learned that a pitch is a Hollywood term used to describe a film in about 25 words or less. I also learned that another name for this is an elevator pitch because many people would catch producers on their way up an elevator and would only have an elevator ride's time to pitch their idea. Another term I was unfamiliar with was a title design. They are basically the opening sequence of a film that includes the titles of the production team and actors. I never realized how much effort goes into the opening sequences of a movie! I am actually most excited for this step of the project. One of my favorite title designs is from the movie Cor...
