Lights! Camera! Action!- Action Genre Research Conventions

Action Conventions(Title: Action: Genre Conventions Research)
Examples-
• Tenet
• Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
• Ready Player One
Camera Angles and Movements
Close up shots of characters' faces/important objects
POV shots of surroundings
Over the Shoulder shots to show tension
Medium close ups for action scenes
Tracking Shots to follow characters
Long shots only use to establish scene
Short quick shots
Fight/Action packed scenes rapidly switch angles
Mis-En-Scene
C- Mostly realistic, but vary heavily depending on the storyline
L-Natural lighting
A-Characters speak realistically, are often aggressive towards the protagonist
M- Realistic make-up, action is very male-centric, so little to none
P- Weaponry, or any other real-life items
S- Depends on the storyline, but usually in urban areas, no nature seen
Sound
High pitched sounds during intense moments/when the protagonist feels fear
Tense non-diegetic background music
Diegetic sound is powerful, impacts are heard loud and clear
Editing
Jump cuts are really common
Reverse shots are also scene
Action matching for fight scenes
Generally, POV and tracking shots would work well with our pitch, as well as the sound and editing. The Mis-en-scene(CLAMPS), also works well with our pitch, due to the realism and flexibility we have with it. However, the over-the-shoulder shots and action matching may require more work.

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

Image
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

Image
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.
