Genre Research: Get Out

One of the films we decided to do was Get Out. It is a mix between horror and thriller. It was created by Jordan Peele who is notoriously famous for his films in the genres of horror and thriller. It was very popular when it came out in 2017. This film has many different elements that you would find in these types of films. The elements of the movie that we would use include the element of surprise, the atmosphere, the proper music, plot twists, obsession, high stakes, and threat. We want to include these because they seem like the best thing to put in. They are also the basis of thriller movies. With these elements, a perfect film is created. We feel like without he input of these elements, a film would not be considered as a thriller. This movie will leave you in suspense and have you on edge just like these movies should. It will leave you wondering what is going to happen next. The elements I liked in this movie included the proper sounds that went along with scenes, the plot twists, the atmosphere, and the high stakes. These are all what gives off the edge in the movie. One scene is where the antagonist of the movie is hypnotizing the protagonist and the music starts to play in the background giving off an eerie feeling and the atmosphere slowly starts to change. This is a scene where the antagonist goes from being nice to being more and more sly. This is an element you would expect to see which is a plot twist. The elements I do not like include the element of surprise, the obsession, and the threats. One scene is where the male lead named Chris is saying to his girlfriend Rose that they should go, and she is fidgeting around trying to find the keys. Eventually, it leads up to Chris finding out that Rose knows what her family was doing and that they she had the keys all along. She was just stalling, which is an element of surprise that you did not expect. You would think she was on his side.

Filming Blog for Music Video

     My group and I have not decided when to edit our video yet. Looking back on the filming day it was very fun. I am both sad and relieved about the filming. I feel this way because it was really fun to work with my group but I am relieved we got it done. I had a great time filming especially because we are all friends. We were all in contact and started to plan everything immediately. I feel like filming is better than editing for us because we can't meet up this time to edit. It was a little hectic because the storyboard was not really matching up with our scenes. In the end, we found a way to make it work because we were not going to leave until it did. Luckily, in the end, before the sunset we got all our shots done. I am grateful to be able to work with them because they really know how to get work done. We have talked before about working together for the commercial but we had already paired up. This time we actually got to work together and it was very easy to se...

Genre Research: Action & Thriller

The action and thriller genres have many similarities and differences, especially when it relates to CLAMPS. Action Films Action films tend to use different aspects of lighting such as, three-point, low key, natural, and high key lighting. Like thriller films, action movies contain excessive use of make-up and costumes to make the movie seem and realistic as possible. Not to mention, directors use make-up and costumes to separate normal and abnormal characters within the film. In action movies low-key, high-key, natural, and three-point lighting are commonly used during film. During the editing process, editors of action films are more likely to use graphic and action matches, slow motion effects, and plenty visual effects. Especially in movies like Spiderman, Avengers, and Iron Man. As for camera angles action movies are usually seen with using aerial shots, high angles, low angles, and canted (Dutch) angles. Common camera movements would be pan, tilt, dolly, and crane. Moving on,...

Planning Blog: Scripts

  Writing the scripts was easy for our group.  Our group already had ideas in mind for what we wanted in our film and it all came down to write these ideas in a script.  To create the script our group has used PowerPoint.  Using PowerPoint has made our  scripts  easier  to  read for the group and for the actors.  We successfully made t he  shooting script  go hand in hand  with the sound and dialogue script . The scripts are always very descriptive when it comes to sound, lighting, camera shots, and camera movements.  Not to mention, that there is enough dialogue to keep the movie scenes mysterious and  intimidating.  All that’s left is to film and edit using the scripts and storyboard as our guide.   One of the group members  Anayah  oversaw writing the two scripts, however, everyone pitched in to throw in their own ideas. For example,  Kadia came up with the last scene in the opening and...
