Deciding Our Short Films Genre

 Looking over all our research we see a staggering difference in which way our pitch can go to. On one hand, we have the thriller and genre aspects that both put you in our main characters' headspace. You'd see how the character went on choosing the decisions she must now face. Or how she dealt with her struggles. As well as the toll it had on her mental health. Horror could add to it by making it a bit more intense. Maybe make her demons a bit more physical. Where she can almost see them. Make it so that she has to deal with them so often that she could really see them. Where they so mentally and emotionally drain her that the pain is physical. This is a good way to exemplify such a horrific reality. Our film will have a basic genre but its sub-genre will definitely contain some horror. We ended up deciding on a thriller again. We want to push our limits on our favorite genre. Our film will have one theme, but it will just have influences as well. Drama and horror elements playing a part in our thriller short film. This idea for our short film is very intricate. We're still not quite sure how we want it to play out. We do know that we want our film to have an ominous and uncertain tone. Exaggerating a reality in many people's lives.

Genre Research: Arrival

Image
  I watched this movie about two years ago and fell in love. The plot, the actors, and the message were beautiful.  Very few films linger in my mind the way Arrival did. But even after several viewings, on each watch, Arrival offers a new interpretation, a fresh point of view, or a renewed perception of events. The movie questions our linear concept of time, this business of starting from the beginning and stopping at the end. But they made us ask, what if time, to suit our intent, could be bent, formed, molded? And she doesn't always have the answers in the future and always has to fill these open holes with up-to-date knowledge from the present; explanations such as the name of her husband, presenting the answer to a science question for her daughter, and how she came to receive insight from the future. In an infinite loop, the future, the past, and the present all benefit from each other. A new perspective on how we live life is offered by the message given. The aliens can ...

The CCR midterm

  The CCR midterm 1.        How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?     Our  product challenges   conventions in  many different ways . We also are representing a wide social class within our video. Essentially the group  that  representing is teenage girls  and also  women in general. Essentially our targeted audience is all and everyone. We are shining a light on toxic relationships. Henceforth we see such acts all throughout our video.

Yet within society, there isn't enough light on these toxic relationships and friendships. Wh...

Genre Research: Thriller & Drama

  Thriller Common lighting in this genre is backlighting, under lighting, and lowkey lighting. This helps to create a dark and mysterious atmosphere and helps to conceal the character's identity, which adds to that suspense.  Some common camera angles are close-ups shots, which exemplify the emotions of the characters or frames an object, to be at attention. Point of view shots allow the viewers to feel emotionally engaged because they feel as though they are the character.  Tracking is a common camera movement that follows the character's action but at the same doesn't spoil the movie.  For this genre costumes usually worn by the antagonist are darker. Weapons are commonly used as props to help convey risk and danger.  The settings are normally in an intense location usually secluded.  A common form of editing in this genre is parallel editing which helps to add tension and illustrate the character's emotions.  The sounds this genre usually contains a...
