WHAT GENRE WILL OUR MOVIE BE? (GENRE DECISION BLOG)


Hey guys, this is Marvin and welcome back to my blog. I’m so excited you guys are continuing your journey on my blog, now you’ve seen  us research our potential genres for our movie , now it’s time to make the final decision. After all of our research, my group and I decided on the mystery genre. Our group decided to choose this genre due to the conventions of this genre matching our vision of the short film. Mis en scene such as normal settings, like a living room, and light makeup fit our project the best. This would help us convey a false sense of tranquility that is needed in our film. Editing common in mysteries, such as flashbacks, would also be the best fit for our film. This would help us execute the plot twist in a simple and more comprehensible manner.   The use of close-ups also fits our film, as we’re going to have to show the emotions of our characters. Overall, the mystery genre would help us encompass a feeling of suspense and unease throughout our film. The horror genre was close in our consideration, but it didn’t quite fit. The dark lighting and suspenseful music that is typically found in horror would work in our film. However, we didn’t see our film using creepy settings or gory makeup. Our film also wouldn’t have a main villain or monster, which is a crucial part of horror films. Another genre we considered was the romance genre. Like the horror genre, we found that some elements would be good for our film, but the core conventions wouldn’t work. Props like wine and flowers would fit with our film to help establish the protagonist as being in a relationship. Nonetheless,  the warm hues, lighting, and soft background music would clash if implemented in our film. Since these are some of the key mis en scene and sounds in the romance genre, we decided it wouldn’t best match for the film. Ultimately, the mystery genre works the best. This genre can allow us to express our ideas to its full extent as it is the one we can execute with what we have at our disposal.  Even though we chose the mystery genre, we will still incorporate some elements from the other genres we considered. Thank you for reading our blogs about our genre , now it’s time for the planning process! Be back for more!

  Scene One- The first scene will start with Mya opening up the door to the courtroom. She will introduce herself, welcome the viewer to the courtroom, and then go look for the rest of the members. The camera will pan around the room to give a full view of the scene. Finally the camera will turn to Charlie and Kai.  Scene Two- The second scene will start with Charlie introducing himself. He would state his name and then, similar to a lawyer examining a witness, will ask Kai to introduce herself. After Kai says her name the camera will pan back to Mya who will go looking for the other members.  Scene Three- The third scene will jump cut to Joey asleep on a patio bench. Mya will walk into frame and wake him up. Once awake he will introduce himself to the camera.  Scene Four- The fourth scene will start with Kyra and I on a different bench. We will be in the middle of a conversation when Mya walks up to us and has us introduce ourselves. After we both introduce ourselve...

CCR BLOG   1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent   social groups or issues?   Our commercial product both uses and challenges commercial conventions. In normal school PSA's, they will usually have some type of message at the end. Within our commercial, we made sure to end our commercial with the message we wanted to get across which was to promote our mock trial team and we ended it with the introduction of all together as one. In one way it challenges conventions because usually school PSA's use normal clothing such as t-shirts, hoodies, pants, etc. Our commercial we took that typical clothing up a notch, and we wore our court attire because it matched more the school PSA we wanted to get across. I think our commercial represents social groups because it shows a group of people who are apart of a team and the group is diverse as well and shows representation. 2. How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be...

Intro Blog

Hello, I am Marvin and I am the son of a full Haitian dad and a full African-American mother. I am the oldest child out of all my siblings. On my mom's side I have a little sister named Malaysia and I have a 3 month old brother on my dad's side named Mayson. In the future, I hope to be a lawyer and maybe even go into politics.  I am not sure what type of lawyer I want to be yet due to the vast variety of types of lawyers there are or what law school I would want to go to. For undergraduate if I stay in state I for sure want to go to the University of Florida. If I'm being optomisitc, I would love to be able to go to an Ivy League school for undergraduate school but using my bright futures might be the best option. Right now, I am currently the Class of 2025 President and I am also apart of the Mock Trial Team. My favorite part of being on the mock trial team is the people for sure, they always have the best jokes and are very supportive of anything anyone does. I like being...
