Movie research: She's the man

Image
 1: This movie is so funny and random. It has an amazing ending of the 2 people. They have so much in common and don't even know it 2: I like how they got so close even when he didn't know who she actually was. Even though he likes his sister which was the same person. I like how he fell for her even more when he saw her playing the sport they both love 3: We wont have a girl pretending to be a boy. Our film won't be as aggressive and sporty. But I loved this movie

Movie research: How to lose a guy in 10 days

 1: It is 2 people that had no intention of a relationship that fell for each other. It makes lots of jokes and has funny scenes. It has fancy scenes and casual scenes. 2: I like how the 2 people fall in love while doing research on each other. I like how it involves friends and family. I like how it shows them talking through their problems. 3: There wasn't much that in this movie that didn't appeal to me. But we wont be using motorcycles like them. We also wont have any fancy scenes.

Movie Research: 10 things I hate about you

 1: This movie has the funny but romantic vibes. It is a story about two teenagers that work it out in the end. It has a good plot and story line. 2: I like how it gave us 2 completely different people that became the perfect couple. I like the boy would do anything for the girl. It was an amazing film and showed a true and healthy relationship. 3: Something in this movie that we wouldn't be using in our film is the 2 couples. I liked both of them but my group doesn't want to have 2 different relationships and story lines. We also won't be doing anything with teenagers underage drinking. 

Genre Decision Blog

 Hey guys. Welcome back. So in todays blog I will be talking to you about my groups final decision on what our genre will be for this final task. Our genre is going to be Rom-Com. But it will also be a little bit drama. We came to this conclusion basing it off of Alyssa's music video. I am so excited to start filming. We will have some of our other friends in it too so it will be fun. Well I'll talk to you guys soon with an update.

Genre Research Drama

 W elcome back to the blog. Today i will be talking to you about drama films. Angles used in drama movies is  Birds-Eye View, From above the subject, best used f or isolating the subject to a dramatic effect. Oblique Angle, shot taken at a tilt. Adds a level of disorientation and engages. Worm's View (aka Low Angle), Shot from below the subject, looking up on a sce ne. Another one is  Dutc h Angle/Tilt.  This type of camera angle is used mostly to create a dramatic effect within a film and can evoke a series of different emotions. The Dutch angle can heighten psyc hological distress and tension, which in turn, creates a cinematic environment that creates suspense and a sense of thrill.  Drama can become addictive and give some individuals a feeling of being alive and productive. Drama can make you secrete endorphins, which we all know are pain suppressants. It can also be pleasure-inducing, which also looks like being addicted to drugs.   The drama genre features stories with high

 Hey blog. Today i will be talking to you about adventure film. Comm on angles and shots used are Pan and tilt. Those are the basics, but then you can use those in other dolly shots, crane shots, and aerial shots. Hand-held shots are popular these days for adventure filmmakers in particu lar. Lighting that is mostly used is  Three-point lighting is a standard m ethod used in visual media. By using three separate positions, the cinematographer can illuminate the subject any way they want, while also controlling shadows produced by direct lighting. s omething that I liked about  adventure films is the themes.  It takes us on a journey to discover our truest nature. While adventures started in fiction, they leaped into film and television as soon as the mediums came along.   Adventure film is a genre that revolves around the conquests and explorations of a protagonist. The purpose of the conquest can be to retrieve a person or treasure, but often the main focus is simply the pursuit of th

 Hey blog. Today I will be talking to you about horror films. They have a lot of different angles but Most horror films make use of these holy trinity of shots: POV, Handheld, and Dutch Angle. POV simply means Point of View. It can be shot from the point of view of the creature/killer or the victim. If there is a chase or tense sequence, for example, a Handheld shot is effective in conveying the message. In horror films the most common shots are  Off Kilter Shot. Over the Shoulder Shot of the Killer. Close up on the Weapon. Close up/Extreme Close up of Fear. 360 Degree Shot to Show Isolation/Fear. High Angle Shot to Show Victims Vulnerability. Low Angle Shot to Show the Power of the Killer. How to Stab Someone Without Hurting Them. Another transition that is frequently used, especially in horror films, is the fade to black. It is mainly used at the start of a trailer to help narrate the story at a slow pace so that tension can be built from the off. The jump scare s ound is typically

Our Pitch

Image
 Hey guys, welcome back to todays blog. so today I will be explaining to you guys our pitches for the final task First pitch: A magic bracelet is found, but everything is not what it seems Second pitch: A woman grows up with a bad childhood. She is not normal as she gets older First pitch: An actor finds this bracelet and it turns out to be magic. The actor accidently wishes for something. He/she wished for a cooler more popular life. On the final wish there is a catch.  I think this is a good pitch because it is something that isn't impossible to do. My group is 2 boys and 2 girls so it is also easy for us to split the jobs. Second pitch: A woman was abused and neglected as a child. So as an adult she tried to relive the childhood she didn't get. Goes out and tries to play with little kids. Acts like a baby and attempts to get I stroller. Just weird things like that. This one could be fun to film. But is is a little more sensitive to some and is kind of dark After discussing w

group blog- final task

 Hey blog, Today I will be talking about my group for the music video. I am working with Sloane, Alyssa, and Shadae. I have known Sloane since kindergarten and our parents are friends. Me and Alyssa are so close and we just are good together. Shadae is so funny and creative I chose to work with them because they are people that I know can work well together. Sloane is very creative and artistic. She will be very good at coming up with our scenes. Alyssa will be our editor and filmer. She also has already come up with a pitch but we are not sure if that is what we will be using. The pitch was about a bracelet that grants you three wishes. I don't think it is a bad idea. It just needs to be thought out better. Shadae is good at writing and coming up ideas. I also feel that we make a good team. I think that our video will turn out very well with the skills that each one of us can bring to the team. We have to decide on a location and soon. Because we all live in different directions.

intro blog- final task

 Hey blog, It's me, Stella, I'm back! So first I'm going to talk a little about myself as a reminder for you. I am 15 years old. I was born and raised in Florida, so I am a big beach girl. But I also am a country girl. I am a good student and I have good grades. I want to either do something with kids when I grow up or in the crime industry. But I also have a really big thing for cars, so that would also be something cool to do. Ok so now I am going to tell you about the new project. It is a music video! Basically I will be getting in a group of at most four and then have to pick a song. then create a two minute opening sequence of an original film. Our video will have around 15 shots and angles. It will also tell a story. It will have clean transitions and good lighting. Me and my group still have to talk over the pitch and we want to do. The story that it is going to tell. And the type of genre it will be. The type of editing and transitions. Where the  video is going to
