Genre Research: A Quiet Place

 A Quiet Place was released on April 6, 2018, and directed by John Krasinski. This film is also a mix of horror and thriller just like the film Get Out. A Quiet Place is a movie about a family who lives in a world where they must stay silent or else it will prove to be fatal. Just as you would expect from a thriller film, A quiet Place clearly show all the elements a thriller film should have. To make a thriller film successful it must have fitting music, plot twist, a clear threat, multiple points of view, cliffhangers, character growth, and most importantly suspense. A quiet place was able to represent all these qualities of a great thriller movie, throughout the film. As for our group movie we want to do something just like this with A Quiet Place as our guide. Some elements my group and I will be sure to focus on will be cliffhangers, plot twists, clear threats, and fitting music. My favorite elements that a quiet place included were multiple points of view, a clear threat/ Antagonists, plot twist, and incredible suspense. During the film, every other scene focused on another character and how they would survive. The movie also managed to make the enemy known to the audience since the second scene. As for the plot twist, there were more than one in the movie and this is what made the film exciting to watch. As the theme in the film was to keep quiet, creating suspense between the protagonists and the antagonists was not difficult at all. However, a downside to the movie was that character growth did not take place in the film like other movies. Although, I do not think that my group and I will focus on character growth as well. Another setback A Quiet Place had was that there was not a likable protagonist nor was there a moral. In the film there was barely any dialogue as well however, that was the entire purpose of the movie. This will not be the same for our group. Our film will element of great dialogue will be present and there might be a moral as well.

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...
