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!!

Research: Music Videos Conventions and Codes My group is doing a pop song for our music video. In most pop genre music videos, the audience usually watches people sing the lyrics to the song within the video. A lot of things are subject to the meaning or theme of the song and how the artist wants to get that across within the music video They usually wear costumes that go with the theme of the music video , so for example if the theme of the video involves them performing for a crowd they usually wear nice clothing like dresses, suits, etc. If the theme is midcentury, they usually wear old style clothing like knight armor, long skirts, etc. If the theme is casual, they wear casual clothing like t shirts, jeans, shorts, and sneakers. Props are also usually subject to the theme of the video. If they are performing in the music videos they might have microphones, a microphone stand, and a stage. If it's more midcentury them some props used could be a horse. The app...

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...
