Genre Research: Drama

Hey guys and welcome back to my blog. This is my last genre i will be researching and the lucky genre is : Drama!!! Drama is a very used type of genre across the film world. In Drama, common camera angles you see are  establishing Shot, long Shot, wide Shot, aerial Shot, high/low Angles, tracking Shot. In drama some type of Common Mis-En-Scene Outside environment, High Key Lighting, Props, Costumes. Lighting plays a big part in this as the lighting has to match the feel for the movie and in drama since it gives off the suspenseful feel , this is a huge part. The Common Editing includes Cutting, Eyeliner, Match, Action Match, Crosscutting, Slow Motion. Some type of Common sound Diegetic, Non-diegetic, Dialogue, Sound mix, and Ambient Sound.  Example films within the drama genre includes five feet apart, After, and the sun is also a star. Within the drama genre there are some things I like. But, while there are some things I like there are some things I don't like. For example, I like the dramatic emphasis in drama films. These dramatic emphasis happens in a fight, or car chase scenes. Especially the angles- shows everything. What I mean by this is in drama films they use those common angles to get across more of their message. I also love the excitement and thrills of dramas. The excitement always keep me on my toes and keep me engaged. It gives me a "what's going to happened next?" type feel. I also like how drama is such a broad genre , it has many different options. Something I don't like about drama is I feel while it is a broad genre, it requires very meticulous choices because it can give off the wrong emotion that is not intended by the director and the lack of meticulous input tends to be a problem. Well thank you for reading my blog on the illustrious genre that is drama if you come back and you will get to see what my final decision is on what type of genre I will use for my final task!!

Production Blog: Editing Blog

 Hey guys and welcome back to my blog. In my last blog you heard how we finally filmed! Not everything went as we planned but we had to make do. Today I am going to be telling you about the editing process of our film. I actually edited the film on my phone for the most part. The editing process took a very long time, longer than I expected. If I had to give a number, I would say this process took a total of 2-3 hours. But, we knew we had to make up for our filming aspect so I did what I had to do. We edited our short film on this app called CapCut. CapCut is a very popular editing app which I have used in the past. What I mean by this is I love how you don't have to be the most experienced at editing and your edits can still come out great. When editing, the first thing I did was gather the clips. Once I did this, I started to think about all the titles needed. When editing this, I took inspiration from a previous movie I researched. What I did intentionally, I made sure the effec...

Production Blog: Filming Blog

 Hey guys and welcome back to my blog!  Guess what, we filmed! My group mate and I finally filmed. Mya and I filmed at Sawgrass Mall, a mall near both of our houses. Filming took about a two hours in total. We were on a time crunch so we had to hurry . The person we ended up using to play the kidnapper was both Mya and I's friend Joey. We picked Joey because  fit the type of person we wanted to play that character.  But, Joey ended up not being able to come last minute which we started to panic. The main problem we had when filming was finding a location. Specifically , it was hard for our group to find a family bathroom that fit how we wanted it to look. We wanted a family bathroom so that we can all go inside and film inside the bathroom with everyone helping out. We ended up not being able to find a family restroom. We looked all over the mall and couldn't find one and we all started to freak out. But, we couldn't make one appear so we just decided to scrap that s...

Genre Decision Blog

 Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog, today I wanted to share with you my group's decision on what genre our final task will be.  The first genre we considered was a comedic genre and this was a genre we spent a lot of time looking at. When looking at it, we liked how comedy and comedic decision is spread throughout the entire media,  for example, you have the comedic and goofy movements with the camera shaking and going upside down. As we reviewed it more, our thoughts changed about the props and we originally didn't like the use of props but as we reviewed we began to see the comedic purposes that props play and that purpose,  it can be the actor using it to do something silly or really anything, and we also liked how we would use diegetic sound like laughing to get the genre across even more. But, there was a really big dealbreaker when it came to part of this genre and that was the dialogue aspect. The reason this was a dealbreaker is because we thought it...
