Genre Research (Thriller)

The research behind the Thriller genre has led me to believe that this genre could have been our genre, however it doesn't match all the credentials. I began by researching the different types of camera work used in thriller movies, the most used angles are Canted Angle shots, Close-Ups, Two-Shots, Wide-Angle Shots and Mid Shots. Thrillers typically use these different camera techniques to bring out elements of suspense and tension. These filming angles also highlight the actions and fears of the actors when being approached by the antagonist. Different types of camera angles show different scenes, there are some for chaotic scenes, sad scenes, and the calm opening scenes. These camera angles create lots of fear and suspense which is exactly what the producers are looking for. In Thriller movies there are also completely different Technical Elements, costumes, props and settings, lightings, and sounds. Conventionally, the characters have a completely different attire in thriller movies than normal ones. In thrillers, the costumes typically are dirty, messy, old, etc. Props and settings in these movies are different as well, the settings most of the time are old and dirty to create suspense and a bad energy for the viewers, therefore causing a fear factor for the viewers. The editing in thriller movies is typically very fast and noticeable, there are many jumpcuts for jumpscares and there are so many elements that have to be included to make the perfect thriller. In thriller movies, they include background sound effects to raise viewers out of their seats and voiceovers to provide a dramatic effect. Some examples of the films I researched were Bird Box, The Conjuring and Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark. In all of these movies, the editing, scenery, and angles were the same and provided the same suspense in the viewer. There are many things we loved about this genre such as the feeling of suspense, the costumes, the scenery, and the camera shots. These elements of the Thriller genre can be implemented into our project. We can grab our viewers attention by using these common elements so that we can have an attention grabbing film. However, with the thriller genre, it is very commonly used. The concept behind Ella and I's movie was wanting to have a different film than everyone else's so that it would stick out. If we do use the thriller genre, our movie will not be much different to everyone else's and there will be no attention grasp. Some things about the Thriller genre that we didn't like were the sounds, and the editing. Everything besides for that could be used to make our movie great.

Close to the Finish Line

 It's practically that time! Ella and I are so eager to say that we are nearly finished with our film venture! We ran into certain issues on the way with every last bit of it. Despite the fact that we actually pushed through and finished the altering. We definitely disapproved of adding the music and audio effects. Sadly they were not connecting as expected to the film. We attempted numerous choices to inspire it to work and every one of them fizzled. We then, at that point, started to overreact a smidgen. We looked into certain recordings on youtube to help out us. We at long last observed one that was useful. We continued back to altering and it at last worked! Sadly that wasn't all. Then a few clasps vanished while altering too. We recuperated them thank heavens. We were somewhat worried without a doubt over all that had been going on. After we figured out how to fix everything, we were extremely feeling better. This was only a minor knock that we expected to survive. In the...

Group Final Task Blog

Image
 Hello! Finally there is a new project! This calls for new people, new ideas, and new opportunities. For my final task project I will be working with Ella Wills from my first project. At the beginning of the week as we became introduced with the project itself, we had a group of four set up with two of our friends, we then decided it would be better to work alone because it is much more convenient and practical. The concept of working on huge projects with friends can be difficult because you don't want to work with strangers but also don't want to be distracted by your friends. Even through this could possibly be a future issue or worry, Ella and I work amazingly together. We have known one another since we were toddlers and we grew up in close proximity to one another with similar job schedules, school schedules, etc. This project will be easy for us because we are very hard workers and we can 100% accomplish what is thrown at us. Ella and I have yet to come up with any ideas...

Title Research: Suicide Squad

Image
 The last movie that we decided to research was the very well known movie Suicide Squad. This movie was a huge movie in 2016 and was loved by everyone all around the world. The closing title sequence contained  how a movie or television show presents its title, key production elements, and cast members using visuals and sound. They included the director, the actors, screenplay maker, screen story maker, the producers, editors, and other important figures in the making of the movie. This is important because it gives acknowledgement to the people who contributed big parts into making the movie. The images produced in the title sequence for this movie were many shots zooming back into different scenes and important places. The title sequence is very colorful and is a zoom out through jail cells, guns, villains, skulls, weapons, etc. The title sequence is relevant to the movie because it has all things that are widely used in the movie. The sound for the ...
