Hello Again!



  Hi everyone, welcome back to my blog! It is so great to see you again! To officially start off my music video blogs, I would like to introduce myself again to any new possible readers. My name is Aja. I am fifteen years old and I am a sophomore in high school. I am of Middle Eastern and Jewish descent. My father is originally from Jordan, with Jewish heritage from his mother. My mother is from the United States, but of German descent. I was born and raised in Florida. I enjoy listening to music, cooking/baking, and making art. I also enjoy running and playing soccer. On the weekends, I work at a local small sushi restaurant. This is very fitting for me since my favorite food is sushi, specifically vegetables-based since I do not eat fish. I have been working there for over 11 months and am very happy when I am there, my co-workers and I are very close. I have two cats at home named Toby and Calypso. They are almost four years old now. When at school, I am a very high achiever. I am currently taking all AICE (college level) and honors classes, including Pre-Calculus, which is a course two years ahead of my current grade level. I have also often been told that I have a contagiously positive attitude towards others. Well, that's about all I have to say about myself for now, thank you so much for reading along and I hope to see you next time!

Genre Blog: Thriller- The Suspense is Killing Us!

  Hi there! The next genre up on our list is none other than the chilling thriller, and if you're willing we'll tell you all about it. The thriller is the suspense without the gore, the scares without the disturbing visuals (Midsommar (2019) this is directed entirely at you), and the creep factor with the fact that you can probably still sleep after. As with before, my team and I will now be guiding you through the essentials of any good thriller and seeing what makes it work. Camera Angles, Movement, and Shots:     In any thriller, it is the director's utmost intention that they still frighten the audience, albeit minus all of the gore that comes along with the horror genre. This can be achieved with the help of some trademarked jump scares, but any good cinematographer knows that uncomfortable camera angles and shots are the way to go.     Putting the audience in a position that they cannot escape from, much like the subject themselves is p...
