Genre Research: Insidious: The Last Key

 Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! Last time, I mentioned that I picked the horror genre for my research. Today, I am researching movies. I am researching movies that perfectly goes with the conventions of my chosen genre, horror. The first movie I will be researching is called "Insidious: The Last Key". "Insidious: The Last Key is a horror movie that was released in 2018. Many aspects of this movie were conventional to the horror genre. When I first start the movie the movie uses a first-person perspective. The use of first person type scenes immediately capture my attention. The scenes are really gritty and they have that conventional eerie sounds. These eerie sounds and the gritty scenes  build suspense and fear that show that horror genre. The dark lighting also plays a factor in this movie when it first begins as it uses that lighting which creates that engaging impact but also still be very terrifying as it should be .One of the most important aspects of this movie is the use of the giving that jump-scare aspect tot he viewer which is conventionally used in the horror genre. This is executed so well that it will undoubtedly leave you on the edge of your seat. The psychological horror trope is seen in this movie and it is also employed, adding depth and complexity to the storyline that sets this movie apart from others in the genre. In this movie another aspect I liked were the special effects which are used effectively for example, the use of green night-vision, which emphasizes the horror to great effect. The use of hidden objects and subtle details that are easily missed adds another layer of keep the audience on edge. However, I didn't like computer-generated effects and it was not as appealing to me. I prefer more natural makeup methods and effects, as they make the horror more believable and therefore more frightening. Overall, this movie is a must-see for horror fans who enjoy a mix of traditional and modern horror conventions. The use of various horror tropes, special effects, and a great storyline make Insidious: The Last Key a great movie conventionally matching the horror genre. Thank you for reading my research be back next time to see what movie I research next!

Hey everyone it's Marvin and welcome to my blog! For the group project, I chose my two teammates to be Kyra Myers and Mya Aly. Kyra and Mya both have media studies a different period than I. While I have media studies 8th period, they have it 5th period. I chose Mya and Kyra to be in my group because I have a really great connection with the both of them. When I first met them, it was almost like an instant connection. Giving some background, I first met Kyra all the way back in 6th grade when we both attended Nova Middle. We both had the same science class. On the first day, we talked for the first time in the cafeteria at lunchtime if my memory serves correctly. I met Mya the first week of 9th grade year in 1st period. Mya would help me with memorizing the material, she would give me the ins and outs, and show me the ropes. All three of us are on the mock trial team which helps our connection with one another. Being on the mock trial team together, we all have to spend a lot of t...

Intro Blog

Hello, I am Marvin and I am the son of a full Haitian dad and a full African-American mother. I am the oldest child out of all my siblings. On my mom's side I have a little sister named Malaysia and I have a 3 month old brother on my dad's side named Mayson. In the future, I hope to be a lawyer and maybe even go into politics.  I am not sure what type of lawyer I want to be yet due to the vast variety of types of lawyers there are or what law school I would want to go to. For undergraduate if I stay in state I for sure want to go to the University of Florida. If I'm being optomisitc, I would love to be able to go to an Ivy League school for undergraduate school but using my bright futures might be the best option. Right now, I am currently the Class of 2025 President and I am also apart of the Mock Trial Team. My favorite part of being on the mock trial team is the people for sure, they always have the best jokes and are very supportive of anything anyone does. I like being...

 Hi everyone , here is the link to my CR. Thank you so much for following me on this project, I had such a great time.  Link to file:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rPSCJhC6quWWPHfL9_SEAAUNtwTLAP0KEr0NmwB8qLg/edit   1. How do your products represent social groups or issues?  One of the key ways our films represent social groups is through the intentional casting of diverse minority actors. By featuring individuals from a variety of backgrounds, cultures, and identities, we not only reflect the rich tapestry of human experience but also provide much-needed representation for marginalized communities. This casting choice is not merely about tokenism but rather about giving voice to stories that are often overlooked or underrepresented in mainstream media. Addressing substance abuse is another vital aspect of our commitment to social relevance. Substance abuse is a pervasive issue that affects individuals and communities worldwide, yet it is often stigmatized...
