Genre Research Adventure

 Hey blog. Today i will be talking to you about adventure film. Common 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 particular. Lighting that is mostly used is Three-point lighting is a standard method 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. something 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 the unknown. These films generally take place in exotic locations and play on historical myths.This genre gives us danger, excitement, and a meaningful journey for the protagonist. Adventure films were intended to appeal mainly to men, creating major male heroic stars through the years. These courageous, patriotic, or altruistic heroes often fought for their beliefs, struggled for freedom, or overcame injustice. Like characters leaving their home or place of comfort and going to fulfill a goal, embarking on travels, quests, treasure hunts, heroic journeys; and explorations or searches for the unknown. Adventure films were intended to appeal mainly to men, creating major male heroic stars through the years. These courageous, patriotic, or altruistic heroes often fought for their beliefs, struggled for freedom, or overcame injustice. Something that didn't appeal to me in this genre was action adventure movies where the only people allowed to die is the confirmed is confirmed bad guys. That is all I have for you about adventure.

 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 gen...

Hi everybody, my name is Stella Edler and here is a little bit about me. I was born and raised in Fort Lauderdale Florida. I love the beach so much, I grew up going to the keys and Bahamas, just living in my bathing suit and spending all my time in the sun getting sandy and swimming. But I truly am a country girl at heart. my grandparents live in Arizona so I also grew up riding horses and going mudding and practically living in cowboy boots. A lot of my friends call me a red neck and say that sometimes when I'm talking my country accent comes out. I would say that I am pretty active, I really only play soccer but I enjoy volleyball and going surfing and snorkeling. I really want to get my scuba certification and go swimming with sharks. I am not much of a book person but I really enjoy watching older TV shows like one tree hill, or the OC, etc. My favorite movies have to be the fast and furious movies, just something about that has me so intrigued. And I absolutely love country mu...

CCR for music video

ccr link 1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?     I made a conscious effort to both follow and deviate from accepted conventions in the selected media when developing my project. My music video conventions stayed in the same genre, being R&B, throughout the whole planning and production process. My group and I knew from the beginning that we were going to stay with the artist, SZA, and her style of music. We all really enjoy listening to her songs and the lyrics within each song are easy to build a story upon. Knowing that we were going to use SZA as our song artist, it was not a hard process when editing because none of us got tired of hearing her voice over and over. She is also one of my group members and my favorite artist so we are very familiar with her songs and I know how the music video story could be laid out relating to the lyrics. Our video conventions do not relate to any social groups bu...
