A Rebellious Journey by Rebecca

 Slenderman (2018) I'm not a big horror film fan, but I braved yet another one. Luckily, the cinematographer in me (that's my job, fyi) can also watch it from a technical point of view which I guess can take the "scariness" away for me.  There were elements which were scary or chilling to me which captured me right at the points when I relaxed a lot more. The audio and music were exactly what you'd expect from a horror. Minimal with plenty of sound effects to create the fear of the monster.  Hallucinations and disorientation were created with visual effects which didn't look too bad. They weren't cheesy or out of place within the film, and I think it did actually heighten it because  it kind of made you feel a bit queasy sometimes.  Technically, there were a few shots I really liked- the one which stood out was the character upside down on the bed and in the frame, the camera rotates and then she eventually flips onto her stomach and it just flows so well,

The figure started cackling, laughing and then coughing trying to catch their breath from what they thought was a funny prank.      "You are such an idiot Jack." Martha hit Jack's shoulder which just made Jack start laughing again. "Will you shut up laughing. You're being too loud." Martha looks around nervously.      "Too loud?" Jack whispers and also looks around, but he is only doing this sarcastically. Martha glares at him. "Yes, too loud. You know what today is. We don't know what's out here." Martha sits on the stairs leading up to the church. "I do know what today is, but you can't seriously believe there is any truth in it all? It's all stories. There's no werewolves and vampires and ghosts, Martha."      Martha get out a t

 Hello Everyone,  I'm Rebecca. Or Becki. And this is the first entry to my new blog which will be following my journey on the rebel path.  I recently purchased volume one of the Rebel Merit book and joined the Facebook group which has already been insightful and exciting. So whilst I wait for the physical arrival of the book, I wanted to start my journey with tasks towards my first badge- the Halloween badge, and to document everything via a good old fashioned blog.  There is a list of clauses/tasks to complete over the month of October. At least 8 of the 16, and you can also apparently mix and match from last year too if you want. These are the tasks I have decided to do...
