Genre Decision for Film

 

                  Welcome back to my blog reader! I have come onto this blog to inform you dear reader that after doing the genre research which allowed me to take a look at the common camera angels, movement, shots, sound, editing, Mis-En-Scene, examples as well as learning which elements I did and did not find appealing about the genres of horror, thriller, and dystopian. After careful consideration, I have come to the conclusion that the genre of thriller is that one that I believe will best suit my film. The reason as to why I choose the specific genre of thriller is because I found it to be the most suitable for pitch as my film deals with a young adult who wins a riffle ticket but does not yet know what that will cost her therefore leading me to be in dire need of a genre that conveys suspense and mystery as well as uneasiness that leads the audience to go through feelings of anxiety, fear, anticipation thus making them be at the edge of their seats. In contrast, the genre of horror is meant to provoke terror among its viewers and the genre of dystopian consists of a relating to or detonating an imagined state or society where there is great suffering which is meant to make the audience examine modern political and social structures as well as issues from the real in a way that when presented to the viewer, they are left thinking and comparing the real world to the fictional. These two genres are wonderful, and I personally enjoy them and find them very entertaining, especially dystopian films. However, for my film I have concluded that the genre of thriller is the best way to go as it is the one that matches my pitch the best. Further, with the resources that I have as a teenager, this seems to be the genre that out of the three will make production go much smoother for me. In addition, the thriller genre will aid me in creating a film that will provide the audience with suspense that will leave them waiting for what comes next. Moreover, I don’t believe I need to tweak my pitch as of right now, however once I begin planning, I might have to make little changes. Well this is my cue to leave, till next time reader!

Back to the Editing Room

          Welcome back to my blog reader ! After ta king in all the advice and comments that my close friends Jasmine and Jada provided me with regarding my sho rt fil m “Lucky” after they watched it. I have gathered all their suggestions and concerns and have taken them back with me to the editing room. Further, for the scene where Gabriela, the protagonist of the film, interacts with the stranger to ask where the event is located . There was poor quality audio for that scene as I filmed it at the mall therefore there was background noise as well as the sound of the wi nd. This scene is a crucial part of the film, thus I had to fi nd a solution to the problem. I asked the actress who plays Gabriela and the actress who plays the stranger to voiceover that scene in attempt to make it easier for the viewer to unde rstand the dialogue as it plays a vital role tha t in the story and leads to the suspenseful areas of the film.

Our Plan

Image
Welcome back to my blog reader! Here is our plan for the music video project! Props:   . Since we chose the song Material Girl, we plan to display a young girl living a lavish lifestyle. To portray this, we plan to use fake money, sunglasses, and a feather boa as our props.  Costumes:    . In our video, we will have one main subject, our material girl, with others playing supporting roles. For the material girl, they would be dressed up in long gloves, fake pearls, and a nice long dress, preferably pink. To fit the stereotype of a gold-digger, they would also wear a blonde wig, a feather boa, and expensive looking sunglasses. The actress would have on light makeup, with the most bold part being some red lipstick.       For the lower class boys, we would have them dress in casual clothing, such as jeans and a hoodie. Any lower class girls would dress in similar casual clothing but may wear skirts, short dresses, or shorts as well. On the other hand...

  Creative Critical Reflection 1 .        1.   How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? . My group’s product was a L'Oréal Paris Lipstick, and its  company usually target s their products at older audiences, mostly adult women . The main theme of L'Oréal products is that they make you feel young once more, due to that their advertisements for the most part consists of women being portrayed as being energetic and living life to the fullest because of the makeup they use. Regarding the lipstick itself, is that it goes against the ideal of the cultural beauty standard that states that the idea of beauty only applies to youth. The colors that they use ar e to contrasts the colors (such as more skin tone, matted colors) that adult women would on a daily basis wear . The company L'Oréal, introduces these women as adults (older) yet elegant and pleasing...
