Personally, I struggle with performance anxiety a lot, whether I'm presenting an essay to under a dozen of my coursemates or singing and playing music in front of a larger audience. Stage fright may be difficult to overcome completely but, like most successful performers, I believe that we all can learn to cope with it. I wanted to share a couple of tips which have helped me overcome (at least some of) the annoying, distracting nerves and give better performances.
Amidst all the offensively generic horror films, there are several that clearly prove why horror itself is such a unique genre... There’s a lot that goes into making an effective horror movie although each case is different, of course. To delve into this idea a bit deeper, I want to take a closer look at a very recent horror film called The Babadook.
