Genre decision

My group decided to go with the thriller genre. This was for many reasons. One of which being that we enjoy this genre the most. It is very importatn that you enjoy what oyu are creating so that the product can be as authentic as possible. Another reason was that it is harder to devolop a plot line , or the begining of one, in just two minutes in a genre like comedy or drama, which will gnerally have a longer exposition. We believe that choosing the thriller genre will increase our intrest in the project, henceforth leading to a better overall result. We already have many ideas in mind. Incuding where we will shoot it. The music we will use. And even how we will edit it. Choosing the thriller blog we can do all the things we want to. One thing that we espically enjoyed about the genre as a group is the costumes. With a conventional thriller you can have a little more fun in terms of the costume and make up. You get the oppertunity to think more outside the box. As well as have more creative freedom. There are things we want to aviod however. In a lot of thrillers we find the acting over done and cringe. There are exceptions of course, but in a lot of cases for thrillers the acting is not to our prefrence. We will try as a group to not do this. We will write a script so that we avoid being shocked becuase we find this is when it is harder to act. We have to make this project as realist as possible. However this is only a minor setback for major comeback. And i am very excited to see what our final product is like.

Peer review

the last step is peer review. Now that i finshed editing all i had to do was get feedback, and fix what needed to be fixed. teh first people that wastched was my group. Naturaly. Then i showed my parents. Then lastly my friends. And my friends parents. the reception was great. But i encourageed them to be more honest. There were some easy fixes. One of them was the score. It was a little lackluster. Becuase i never got the rights to the song i wanted to use it was a struggle. I had to look through royalty free music. BUt it all seemed so bland. Like an ad. not a movie.SO i went back and looked more. I decied that the score with the use of no sound. And diegetic noises i could create more emotion. I finshed up editing and showed them once again. Much better.

Genre conventions: Shutter island

- For the thriller genre option, Shutter Island uses extremely wide shots to show where the film is taking place. They use wide shots to show multiple people walking at a certain time. The mid shot shows the character looking directly at you. The high angle shows them walking through the rain. The low level shows the contrast between the colors. Leonardo DiCaprio dresses in a detective outfit containing a trench coat and a tie. In this movie, Scorsese uses the dark lighting in the scene to symbolize the characters. The makeup in the film shutter island is mainly used to emphasize the expressions on their face. Major props to films that still use miniature models like this rather than purely CGI it up. It's noticeably in higher quality most of the time. The setting for shutter Island is mainly set in building ward C. There are three main blocks of the hospital. building 1 which is for the men, 2 which is for the women, and C which is for the very important patients who need to be ke...

Genre Conventions: The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight - A common camera camera angle used is a close up. Close ups like in the scene where the joker is being interogated, or when the detective is leaving the room. This shows emotion is the charcters. Another common angle used is the dutch tilt. THis creates a sense of uneasiness for the audience and foreshadows to what might happen next. Over the shoulders shots are commonly used to. They show equality between the charcter, adn even though they are fighting, they are equal to each other. The lighting used is dark, creating a menacing and dangerous mood symbolizing the jokers character to the audience. Batman was dressed in his superhero coastume which is all black to create fear, adn whn he was not wearing his batman costume, he was wearing a dark suit, to still keep the dar mood. The dark mood was also elevated by the setting. Low, dark lights and rain were added to the scenery of a tall city. The acting was very serious as comomn for the genre. Props used were weapons,...
