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: non-filming day

Image
As of right now, I have not started to film. The reason for not filming is because of the schedule created to make the making of the film run smoothing. Having just created the script, it would be to be rushed to start filming 2-3 days after. Filming this soon would not only leave the actors figuring out how they can perform a scene in the last minute but, also leave the acting in the film looking off or not the best. This can ultimately throw off the entire film as bad acting can make the film seem unfinished and off to the viewers making them not want to continue watching. Instead of leaving the film making rushed, I want to give the actors sometime with the script. Giving the actors time to read and take in the script will allow them to better understand the story and how they will portray it. This will not only boost their performance when acting out a scene but, it will allow them to test out different versions and add their own twist to make the characters their own. Adding more ...

Planning for the final task: location, health, schedule and more

Image
  Schedule: 3/1/21- 3/2/21:   Actors will revive script and storyboard. This will give the actors time to take in the film and understand what they will do and prepare for their roles. During this time the actors will be able to ask any questions about the film and eliminate any confusion before filming. 3/3/21 All props and costumes will be gathered in order to prepare for filming to begin. This will help as it wouldn't leave me in a rush at the end to get the supplies I need while making sure that I have them without risking a store not having it in stock. 3/4/21- 3/22/21:   The first set of filming will take place. During this time I will record all takes of the scenes with different angles. This will then allow me to review what I like and didn't like in the following days. 3/23/21- 3/24/21:   The first part of editing will take place. In these days I will review all the takes closely and make sure that I have scenes that I want keep and others that I might have...

Genre Research: Bird Box

Image
 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. This leaves the human race hiding in their home, but when the mother hears of a place that people can survive without the worry of seeing the creature, she journeys to find it. Although they know where it is located, the challenge that the mother and kids are faced with is that they have to journey blindfolded. This presents many problems for the mother has they face many dangerous and loose many people but, she is determined to find this sanctuary.  What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? One element of the genre that I chose to base my final task that Bird Box has is the fear of the unknown. 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...
