Final Decision Blog

Our final genre decision is an action film. An action film typically consists of an intense plot with the protagonist actively working towards a goal, usually enlisting the help of others. Fight scenes are also extremely common. Protagonists are often attacked when trying to reach their goals, during key points of the storyline. Another common theme of action films is the protagonist needing to step up to achieve their goals. 
These common themes that run through the genre make it ideal for our pitch. In our pitch, our protagonist will be faced with a terrible situation. They will then have to step up in order to right the wrongs that have been made. We won’t be filming any fight scenes for this task, and our pitch may not include physical fights, but our protagonist is still fighting for something. Throughout this process, we did briefly consider a historical genre. 
However, the mis-en-scene would have been less than optimal. We don’t have any access to historical clothing or historical methods of communication. While the longer shots would have been easier to film, the lack of proper costuming and props ruled it out. In regards to horror and drama, we came to a conclusion that it didn’t fit the idea we wanted, after some discussion. Horror would have been interesting to portray, but we did not want the movie focusing on the antagonist and their actions. Focusing on the antagonist and portraying them as scary while facing off against the protagonist wouldn’t have matched our ideas. 
When this pitch was proposed, we all imagined the protagonist doing a lot and horror just didn’t match that. So now, with our genre comes the conventions we have to follow. Our camera shots need to revolve around quicker shots that show exciting or intense events occurring, along with close ups used sparingly and on important objects. Our sound should revolve around the diegetic sound of the scene as well as a tense or emotional soundtrack. Our editing will probably involve some reverse shots. Our mis-en-scene will probably just have to be realistic and reasonable, but nothing too specific is required.

Final Review: Changes actually made.

Image
Hello, Kayla here. So, this blog will be about tbe actual changes that were made to the film. Some of the suggestions that were made to me by my family were done and some on our own. The shooting scene in my opinion wasn't too graphic so that was left the way it was. We saw no reason to re-shoot it. I also, took into consideration what was said to me and we did end up shortening the shooting scene. That was originally 11 seconds and was trimmed down tremendously. I also did some changes to the lighting. So from 0:48 seconds to 1:05 I created and added a sunlight filter. From 1:05 to the ending of the video I made and used a nighttime filter. It took me a while. I thought the filters were already made but turns out it wasn't. So, I had to use the color adjustment settings to get them to come out the way we desired. I also did end up adding some fade-outs but took them out in the end. I had to export like three different videos and go back to add ontop each. The behind the scenes...

Title Research: Mission Impossible 2

Mission impossible 2   1. How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones?   There are only 3 titles the producer Tage and the director tag and the title of the movie. This movie decided to take the fast option giving you the most important tags for the opening. To get their idea across quickly on what type of movie it is going to be.    2. What connotations do the images carry? (how do you they make you feel)   The titles are in between very intense images, editing, and sound going on with the titles it makes me feel pumped and ready to watch a action packed movie. The opening gets you prepared for the intensity of the movie.    3. How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you   tell what genre the film is) through action/interaction.   Action / interaction Is different in every movie but what ties them together is the certain mood / action e...

Commercial Blog

Hi, Kayla here. This blog is my 2nd to the last blog for this project. This is the commercial blog where the video/ actual commercial is shown here. This commercial is about an ink joy pen and the attributes said pen has. You can see that in the commercial I was using a different pen officially. But, that pen as shown in the video was causing issues and not working properly. I was then given a pen which turned out to be an  Ink Joy pen before I proceeded to start writing. You can hear me explain how the pen writes smoothly and work wonderfully. The filming experience was great to say the least. I really enjoyed the process of filming this commercial.
