 What element of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have?

This movie has some scenes that have low-key lighting, and dark scenery. Also the costumes of the people in this movie has everyone dressing in normal clothing, even if their bad. There are some scenes with sound that feels eerie or mysterious which adds to the plot of the thriller. The acting helps build the tension between the characters, and also adds suspense to the movie. The camera angles used are typical camera angles used within thrillers. The music is also eerie and suspenseful which allows for the thriller to feel very mysterious and suspenseful. These factors are typical thing that are seen in thrillers, that could be found in this film. This film also has to do with normal people living in a normal city doing normal things. This film also has the typical props in thrillers like guns and other weapons.

Planning to Film: Items Needed

Image
 I decided not to film this weekend due to the fact that I didn't have all the items needed. In a previous blog I mentioned all of the items I needed to film. The past weekend I decided to dedicate it to making a list and buying everything I needed for the film. If I didn't dedicate this weekend to buying all of the materials I needed, I would not be able to film. I would rather film fully prepared with everything I need before hand, than start filming and not have anything. Without all of the proper items needed to film, this film would not be complete and would overall take longer. This weekend I looked around my house to see what I had, and what I could use as props for my film.

I looked at what props I would need for the film, and seeing what I would need to do to attain that. I decided that I will probably need some rope for my final task, so I have to see how much it costs, and where to buy it. I also must decide when I am going to go out and buy the rope with my parents since I don't have a car. I also must decide who I want to act in the film and who they are going to play. After I decide who I want to be in the film, and who they are going to play, I have to contact them. I plan to start filming and having everything I need by next weekend, so that gives me a lot of time to plan. I also plan to film throughout spring break since I will be able to film during the week since we will not have school. I also must start thinking about how much this project may cost with ...

Genre Research: Action

 I conducted research this year on the action genre of movies where I discussed the different aspects of the genre of action movies. I made sure in the powerpoint to add different pictures and examples of each term I researched. I specifically used pictures from action movies to show how each term was used and to show action examples. I discussed the lighting in action movies, which typically tends to be low-key lighting, high-key lighting, and Rembrandt lighting. I used pictures from movies like "Fight Club" to show the use of this lighting in these movies. I discussed the camera angles in action movies, which tend to be establishing shots, ariel shots, close up shots, mid shots, and high angle shots. I used the establishing shot from the Harry Potter series to use has an example to show an example of an establishing shot. I discussed the movement that is used in action movies which are pans, zooms, reverse zooms, tilt, and crane shots. I discussed the mise-en-scene in actio...
