Horror hybrids
This document discusses horror film subgenres and hybrid genres. It identifies common horror subgenres like supernatural, slasher, and psychological horror. A hybrid genre combines two genres, such as slasher and supernatural. Slasher films involve a killer stalking and killing victims violently, while supernatural films depict unbelievable events and villains with special abilities. As an example, The Ring and Oculus are both supernatural films released years apart that involve cursed women spirits and objects that spread curses. Supernatural remains a popular subgenre that is constantly being reinvented with new narrative approaches.
Conventions Of Spoof/Horror Movies
A parody is a work that imitates another work in an absurd or ridiculous way to poke fun at it or derive comic effect. Parodies are common in movies, known as spoof movies, which mimic popular films in a genre like crime, horror, fantasy, or action in an exaggerated and humorous way. Spoof movies build expectations from the original genre and then mock its conventions and tropes.
Generic conventions of horror
Mise-en-scene in horror films establishes isolation and ominous settings through techniques like pathetic fallacy, sinister props, and dark colors like red and black. Lighting is used to create mood, cast shadows, and suggest split personalities. Costumes distinguish stereotypical character types like the "blonde" and "athlete". Sound design with exaggerated diegetic sound and loud non-diegetic music builds tension and makes audiences feel scared. Common props symbolizing religion or the devil include bibles, crucifixes, and candles. Horror films typically feature stock character archetypes like "the blonde [who] usually dies first".
Genre Research
Horror films use certain themes, props, settings, and character archetypes to invoke fear and thrill audiences. Common themes include hauntings, religion, good vs. evil, and monsters. Props like knives and masks are often used to denote the genre. Settings tend to be graveyards, abandoned buildings, cabins, and haunted houses at night to create tension. Character archetypes include the final girl protagonist, the unlikely hero, the antagonist villain, and the sex appeal character who is often the first to die.
Private violence poster
The document analyzes two movie posters for the film "Private Violence." Both posters use a dark background with a solitary female figure to convey feelings of danger, depression, and vulnerability. Key design elements like contrast, bold text, and specific colors are employed to make important text and the title stand out against the dark scenes and intrigue audiences.
Alfred hitchcock
Alfred Hitchcock was an English filmmaker and producer known for his thriller films. He developed unique technical techniques like long takes and manipulating camera movements and shots to control audience emotions. Hitchcock framed shots and edited films to create apprehension, fear, or empathy in viewers. He sought to make films feel like a single, unedited shot to further immerse audiences. Hitchcock's innovative techniques made his thrillers distinct yet tapped into genre conventions to draw broad audiences into emotionally charged stories through the characters' perspectives.

A claim is the "backbone" of an essay. It connects all the elements of a paper and defines the purpose by containing a topic and position on that topic. A good claim unifies the writer's thoughts under one main idea and prevents the reader from asking "So what?" about the topic. More specifically, a claim is not merely a statement of fact, personal opinion, or vague generalization. It should also propose a solution or make a comparison to effectively argue a position.
Wfs academic voice
This document discusses point of view in academic writing. It explains that first person point of view uses words like "I", "we", and "my" and is not appropriate for academic papers as it makes the writing seem biased. Second person point of view uses "you" and addresses the reader directly, which can be seen as pushy. The document recommends using third person point of view with impersonal pronouns like "one", "they", and "people" to maintain an objective tone without directing statements at the reader.
Wfs they sayi_say1617
The document provides guidance on using quotations in writing. It advises including outside sources and expert opinions to strengthen arguments and confirm claims. Quotations should be selected carefully and used to support key ideas. When including a quote, a writer must introduce it by framing it in their own words, cite the source, and explain how the quote backs up the point being made. Quotations add authority when used correctly and framed within the writer's own analysis.
Ps transitions public
This document discusses the importance of using transitions in public speaking. It defines transitions as phrases that indicate when a speaker is moving from one idea to the next. Some examples of transitions provided are "in addition," "now that we've seen," and "on the other hand." The document also discusses using internal previews to foreshadow upcoming points and internal summaries to recap what has already been discussed. Signposts are brief statements that indicate where the speaker is in the speech. Failing to use these techniques can cause audiences to feel lost between ideas.
Ps organization
This document provides guidance on organizing a public speaking presentation. It explains that the introduction should grab the audience's attention, set the purpose, and preview the main points. The body should have 2-3 main points supported by evidence, using an organizational strategy consistently. The conclusion should reiterate the topic and purpose, review the main points, and leave the audience with a concluding thought. It recommends starting by outlining the body, then writing the introduction and conclusion, adding an attention-grabbing opener and memorable closing statement. Transitions and revisions are also important.
Arits final discussionquestions
The article discusses how food choices impact health and well-being. It notes that a diet high in processed foods can lead to weight gain and increased risk of disease, while eating more whole foods like fruits and vegetables provides nutrients and fiber that support overall health. Choosing to cook more meals at home from whole ingredients allows for healthier, more balanced options.
Arits language usen_word
The document discusses the disputed usage of certain words, particularly the "n-word". It notes the word's origins and history as a racial slur. While some Black artists have reclaimed the word, many argue its connotations cannot be erased given its role in racism. Usage remains taboo for most, though meanings have blurred in popular music. The power of context is emphasized, as words can deeply offend depending on setting and speaker.
Ps impromptu directions
This document provides directions for an impromptu speech activity. Students will randomly select a topic, have 1 minute to plan an organization approach, and then speak for 1 to 2 minutes on that topic. After speaking, the student will receive content feedback from the audience and select the next speaker.
Ps tongue twisters2
The document provides 7 tongue twisters involving repetition of words and phrases to challenge pronunciation. The first twister describes a tutor trying to teach two students to play the flute. The second asks how many pickled peppers Peter Piper picked. The third involves selling sea shells by the sea shore. The fourth asks how much wood a woodchuck could chuck. The seventh and longest is a cumulative tale describing a house Jack built and the animals involved.
Ps good audience
The document provides tips for being a good audience member such as arriving on time, turning off cell phones, giving the presenter undivided attention without talking or interrupting, showing engagement through nonverbal cues, applauding at the end, providing feedback privately if disagreeing, and following the Golden Rule.
Ps vocal variety
This document provides guidance on using your voice effectively for public speaking. It emphasizes the importance of breathing to speak confidently and the impact of volume, rate, pitch, and pauses on one's message and how they are perceived. Specific tips include varying volume and rate to emphasize points, speaking at a rate of 133-188 words per minute, using different pitches to sound more interesting, and employing strategic pauses to control pace and allow the audience to process information. The document encourages experimenting with vocal elements to convey different emotions.
Ps visual aids
This document discusses the use of visual aids in public speaking. It identifies different types of visual aids including PowerPoint slides, props, display boards, videos, photos, maps, and charts. The benefits of using visual aids are that they can improve audience understanding and memory retention, serve as notes for the speaker, provide clearer organization, and allow for more eye contact. When creating visual aids, speakers should make sure the aids are large enough to be seen by all and contain simple graphics, fonts, and information. Speakers should also practice with their visual aids and introduce/summarize the content while maintaining eye contact with the audience.
St preview powerpoint
This document outlines the requirements for a research paper and presentation project. Students must write a 5-7 page research paper with a works cited page on a self-selected topic of interest. They will also present their findings through a 5-10 minute PowerPoint presentation. The goals of the project are to have students research a topic, write and speak about what they learned, and demonstrate skills at a post-secondary level. Suggested topics include history, local politics, creative arts, health/science/math, sports, literature, technology, and trades. Students must pick a topic that investigates a real question and forms an opinion through evidence in a thesis paper.
Arits act i_sc1_morningroutine
This document discusses morning routines in a household and asks who is present, who is responsible for making breakfast and other chores, how everyone manages to get ready to leave on time, and how these morning tasks impact family dynamics.
Ps eye contact_reflection
The document discusses an activity where the reader worked with someone they knew well and someone they barely knew. They are asked to compare the experiences, noting similarities and differences, and reflect on what they did to overcome any awkwardness. The reader is also prompted to consider how the activity relates to public speaking and why eye contact is important for public speaking.
Ps tongue twisters1
This document contains instructions to clap to a beat and sing tongue twisters. It includes 9 tongue twisters about animals and actions like a pink pig playing in its pen, a little lizard leaping by the lake, and a diving dolphin diving deep. The tongue twisters are repeated with variations to make them more challenging to sing along with.

- 2. “My Favorite Mistake” Sheryl Crow (1998) As we listen to the song, in your Writer’s Notebooks, list mistakes you have made, preferably ones you’ve learned from. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmIlUKo4dQc
- 3. “A Mistake That Should Last a Lifetime” – Jessanne Collins See handout. Read. Discuss: What is the writer’s mistake? What details does she recall leading up to that mistake? Looking back at the event, what are the writer’s thoughts today? What lasting impressions does the writer take from the experience?
- 4. Expression vs. Reflection Use two different colored highlighters to color code the text. One to indicate where the author recalls/recreates the incident. One to indicate where the author reflects on what the incident means to her today.
- 5. Your Favorite Mistake Pick a mistake you’ve made and complete the graphic organizer for it. Once you’ve done that, begin drafting.
