Genre Decision Blog


            After researching different genres in the filming industry, Sonali and I chose the genre for our opening sequence.We chose the genre which is called action.It worked out perfectly because both Sonali and I enjoy action movies the most and watch them all the time.Due to us not being in school, we discussed this over a video call.The pitch we chose for our opening sequence is, "Little girl is kidnapped and taken away from her family.We both agreed that this pitch would fall under the category of either thriller or action.In the end, we chose that action would fit our film better.Action will be a good genre for our film because this genre uses over the shoulder shots, pan movements and ominous music which can be used in our opening sequence film.For our opening sequence, we can use an over shoulder shot when someone is holding the missing person paper.We can also use an over the shoulder shot when I am devastated about my little sister being gone. We can use a pan movement when my sister is being taken by the kidnapper, which will probably be by my brother.Also, we could use a pan movement to show certain scenes, such as me running around the park to find my little sister. Lastly, we can use ominous music throughout the opening sequence.Ominous music will most likely be towards the end once to show the missing person flyer.We are only filming the opening sequence so there won't be much room to show any crazy action happening.Although our pitch won't be a whole movie, it would still fall under the category of action due to the fact that throughout the movie, the family of the little girl will stop at nothing to get her back.Now that we chose our genre, we will now make sure to include techniques and elements that are in typical action films. We will plan out our storyboard and make sure it's perfect. Honestly the process before filming is way longer than the actually filming process.Once we've included everything we need, we will then start the filming process.

Research : How to make a short film

Image
        This informational video helped opened my eyes to more knowledge on how to produce our own film. While watching I noticed I already knew somethings like when they were talking about the creation of films. However, "How to make a short film" video gave a lot of new tips that will help me in the production of our short film journey. The production tips and post production tips in this video were given by a expert in film. One tip that caught my attention is when the expert mentions to not do it if you can’t pull it off. Another tip is that it is key to mess with the audience's mind and emotions. The expert explains that it is either all or nothing and to not do something half or partially. This kind of reminds me of this expression, " Go big or go home". This expression implies it's all or nothing which is why the film expert explanation reminded me of it.  Adding unnecessary things to a scene because it looks like a cool element to your fi...

Comparing Le Jetree, the short, and 12 monkeys, the full length movie

Image
 PART ONE- So from the video we learned the 12 monkeys is supposed to be a remake of Le Jetee. However, nothing could ever be recreated the way Le Jetee was. We believe the elements of mis-en scene camera shots and angles were expressed in le jetee that weren't quite the same in 12 monkeys. The information that We gather from this video included the a dispassionate tone carried in Le jette from the film narrator. It added an accentuation in the audio to the rest of the film and images. The exaggerated audio such as percussion sounds and a pounding heartbeat. These tools created a more dreamlike film with the genre being a sci-fi filled film this plot included a mediation of the passage of time. They did this by using closeup shot to exaggerate images and characters faces and emotions expressed throughout the film helped create the dreamlike idea that was portrayed. It gave an outlook on war times before during and after of a war through the life of a man ( a slave) that could trave...
