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.

 In the movie Bird Box we witness the beginning of a post-apocalyptic world. Following a mother and her two kid we notice that there is a creature that cannot be seen but kills if your eyes detect it.

Having the Mother take her kids somewhere she is unfamiliar with not know what will happen in the journey puts fear in the characters. Add...

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...
