Genre Research: Action


 In this project, we were set to pick and research a genre from Horror, Comedy, Action (etc.). After viewing each of these genres, I decided to pick Action. Now having picked the genre, the next step was to research the common conventions shown in the genre films. These conventions consisted of Common lighting, Common Camera Angles, Common Movements, Common Mis En Scene, Elements of Action, Action Film Examples, Sound in Action, Elements I like, and Elements I don't Like. All these conventions researched would then create the slides used in the project as I explained each one by definition while giving examples of them used in different films. For example, for common camera angles used in action films I found the long shots, mid-shot, and close-shots were the ones most found in this genre. This project was helpful since it allowed us to study conventions even more but, it also allowed us to see how these conventions were used in these genre and why it made the film the way it did making it look like the genre.

Production blog: Editing Finished

Image
Having all the filming for the project finished meant that I could start the final editing for the project. During this process, I added all the takes that I rerecorded with the mistakes corrected to fit the film. When adding these new takes, first I had to delete the old ones and drag the new ones into place. These would allow for all the scenes to be in the correct order and time sequence. After having these scenes in place, I was now able to edit the film to make it smoother and clean as a whole.  When making the final edits of the film, I first watched the film from the beginning without making changes. By watching the film without changes, I could write editor notes on the parts I liked, didn't like, and parts that need to be cropped/shortened. I did this serval times until I felt I had enough notes and couldn't spot any more. By gathering all the notes together, I could now start editing from the beginning of the film and edit as I go through the film. This would allow me...

My Pitch

Image
 Pitch 1 When hanging out with his friend turns to being hunt down by a stranger at his apartment complex, Juan must find a way to survive the night.  Pitch 2 When visiting his hometown after his close friends death, Juan begins to be followed around his apartment complex by a very familiar face that wants to kill him. For the first pitch, I feel that it would be easier to film since I wouldn't need to go into the background of the character but, without this background the character I would be missing his backstory adding more to the character and plot. This problem also contributes to the problem I had in pitch two. Although having a backstory to the character would be good, it would be taking crucial seconds to the film. These few seconds are crucial to the film because I only have 2 minutes of film time and I want to use this time showing the actual plot. This being said, the plot I decided to go with is "When hanging out with his friend turns to being hunt down by a stran...
