 What's better: Horror or Comedy? Why? Be specific. 

I believe that comedy is better than horror. Comedy is fun and funny. It makes you laugh, and laughter is known to be the best medicine. There is even some enjoyment that can be taken out of the terrible jokes. There are plenty of people who watch bad movies just so that they can laugh at them. Horror on the other hand, while some can take the enjoyment out of them, doesn’t quite have that same appeal in my opinion. This is definitely subjective, but I rather laugh than be scared. There are people who get so afraid of watching horror movies that they can’t go to sleep that same night. I for sure don’t want that. There are even horror comedies that have a big focus on comedy. There are some horror movies that are so bad that they're funny. Comedy is everywhere when it comes to film. People like to be entertained. Not as many people like to be frightened. Even if comedy isn’t THE most popular genre, you can’t deny that it is in fact everywhere. A lot of movies have comedy in them. There are action movies with comedy, romance movies with comedy, and even some drama movies have comedy in them. I think the majority of movies(not all of them)crack at least one joke in them. Not all of those movies would have horror in them(not to say that there aren’t any because there are plenty)unless they were going for the full horror experience. Horror is definitely a popular genre and has influenced a lot. I’m also not saying that I hate horror entirely because my favorite holiday is Halloween, I just don’t like the super scary stuff. All I’m trying to say is that I think is a lot larger, and is more spread out into other genres which makes it better in my opinion.

Project 2 Choice 2

  Another choice the creators used to bring all the artists to the yard(and they're like it’s better than yours…sorry) was their use of colors. Specifically their uses of bright, neon colors. The colors in the trailer are very dark and gritty. Even when it was showcasing the city of Piltover ( which is the richer city above ground in the sunlight).  The colors are desaturated for the most part giving it a very depressing feeling which for those who watched the show is very accurate. Then. Boom! These bright neon colors are everywhere! Neon colors pop a lot more than other colors, but because the trailer typically is desaturated with its colors, the neon pops even more. Your eye is brought to the colors because of that high contrast, and it totally works.  Take this scene in the trailer for example(about 30 seconds in)   This entire scene is dark. It has a few bright colors here and there, but for the most part, it's super dark. The sign on the other hand is a bright ...

The Arcane trailer showcases vivid, beautiful animation that would make any artist's jaw drop to the floor. The choice to do animation was a smart one. They could have easily made this show live-action, but it would’ve lost that oomph that the animation gives this show. Take it from me, animation takes a long, long, long, long, time. An average 90 min animated movie can take up to 4-7 years. Live action is significantly lower than that. I believe Arcane took about 6 years to make. As beautiful as animation can be making one is a huge risk. It takes so long to make you risk losing all that money it took to make. So it was a bold choice to make it animated, but I think it was the right one. Animation is very stylized, and there are many different stylistic choices you can make that make it visually appealing. They also didn’t have to make the animation look good or smooth. They could have put a little effort into the animation, making it go quicker, but it looks like crap. It doesn’t...

Writing Prompt 10/6

 What do you do on rainy days? Honestly? Nothing at all.  Well, I guess that's sort of a lie. I just do what I would normally do just with the extra caution of not stepping a foot outside. I mainly play video games for literally half of the day. Not even joking. Then I do one of the two things, draw or sleep. I guess I become extra lazy when its's raining like the gloominess has taken over my body.
