Genre Research: The verdict.

     Hello you all, I have made the final decision for my film genre. After researching three genres in total, comedy, action, and thriller, the one that stuck out the most was action. Yes, for my film it will be an action genre. I chose this genre as it suits the conventions that I will be able to work with. For instance, Mis-En-Scenes such as lighting and costumes will be dark and neutral which is perfect for the environment I will be working in. Filming may take place inside a house to outside in a car at dusk. Filming during this time will set a dramatic scene. The film will be based on the mafia being under wraps with one of their members unknowingly. The member suspectedly gets kidnapped by an unknown individual and whilst trying to investigate the situation further and retrieve their member, they are betrayed and realize that the member taken was against their team the entire time. This film will be action filled with all of the drama that will be happening suiting the genre well. Torward the ending of the film, the audience will be shocked as I am adding a plot twist to the film. That being the member being against the team the entire time. Editing is also a great fit into this genre. Quick cuts, sound effects, slow motion, etc are all effects I have already done for my previous projects. As a result, I should be familiar with the action genre in terms of CAMS as well. A close competitor was the thriller genre. This would have been the next best fit for this film as it has similar Mis-En-Scenes and editing style. Although, the action outperformed the thriller genre in this case as thriller does not contain as much intensity as compared to action. Nonetheless, I am excited to start the filming process for my action film and cannot wait to take you guys along with me!

There is a Solution!

 It is currently Saturday. I woke up today with a text from my group member about what we're going to film. After the conversation concerning the parts about what is being filmed, I learned that my partner cannot film today either. My partner's schedule is very tight and relying on him is making it detrimental to me. Keeping in mind that this project is due very soon we still have not had anything filmed at this point. I am now getting anxious and frustrated about what my group and I are going to have to do now. My group members' tight schedule has truly made it a detriment to my time and future plans I had. Finally, my group member and I decided to film by ourselves. After we both film whenever possible, I will edit all of the clips to make it one sequence to flow smoothly with the music video. Since I was already set for Saturday I figured that I should film the first couple of scenes at the mall. Despite going to film, I had to get my brother to be the cameraman to help ...

Creative Critical Reflection

  1. My commercial challenges conventions by the opening of a panning shot. I have used the luminescent light coming from the school board sign for realistic lighting. My film represents the student class, establishing students attending to school use the product. The location displays the environment that this product can be used in. My actor has shown, pants, shirt, backpack, and shoes to portray this. By implementing this as well as having some dramatic shots, it makes the viewer want the apparel to use, targeting students mainly but not limited to.  2. My product engages with the audience by grabbing their attention with various detail zoom shots, to panning. Showing off the brand, it shows the many uses that it has. This can be distributed in the real media text as it is visually appealing. Nowadays people have a lower attention span making fast pace videos with intense shots more interesting.  3. My production skills has tremendously improved throughout. I learned h...

What’s the plan now?

    Nothing good comes easy. This is the quote keeping my motivation up. The reason I’m even thinking about this quote is because the filming dates are constantly being delayed. Unfortunately, not only does my group member and I have other work for classes but so we are busy in our daily lives. We are trying to come up with a solution so that we can accumulate together and film. We still need to look into a specific park to go to. Something along the lines next to our school or my partners house may work. It is important for it to be a spacious park so that the puppy can run around and play it’s part to act wild and free. The act of the dog being wild and free will irritate one of the characters, as mentioned in my script. This will be the introduction of the plot. My partner lives near the school. This makes it accessible to me and we can easily begin the filming process. As my partner and I know what we’re going to film we can film different parts of the movie separately. Fo...
