Final Genre Decision

 I have decided to use the drama genre for my opening sequence.

Drama delivers the emotional development of realistic characters in a realistic setting. Intense character development places the audience in the character's shoes. Drama films are model presentations or stories with settings or realistic situations that portray characters in conflict with either themselves or others.

Movies in the drama genre tend to show us human beings in all of their forms. The forms which I am referring to are humans being at their best-selves, worst-selves and everything that comes with that. This genre is like a memory coming to life. The films are normally plot-driven, everyone has their own role to play. This genre best suits characterizing the real world because people tend to believe they are the main character while everyone else plays a small role. Drama genres are directed to flow correctly. There should not be a character that comes out of thin air. A backstory allows the audience to get a true feel of the character on the screen.

Drama movies include empathy and emotions that would be seen in the lives of everyone. People everywhere go through a lot. Many of them are afraid to bring these occurances to life. Being that I am passionate about showing and documenting events that are not usually displayed.

I am open to using props to make my project happen. I have high hopes for myself when it comes to bringing this project to life. I plan on effectively communicating with my intended audience. I will alternate between my point of view and what I feel the people watching the screen's point of view would be.

I will not use any superheroes, talking cats, or anything of the supernatural world because that would be categorized under a different genre. I want my genre to be neat and organized, I do not being all over the place.

Genre Research: Five Flights up

 This movie is about an old couple, a husband and a wife, spending a hectic weekend considering selling an apartment they have been sharing for over forty years. The couple thinks firmly as they think of what's at stake of turning their backs on their home that is full of memories and feelings. This movie often displayed close-ups. Using close-ups, we could see the emotions of the character that was on screen. Establishing shots in this movie were found in the beginning of the scenes. Their purpose was showing where the scenes is filmed and to give the viewers an idea of the time and place this is occuring. The costumes were simple outfits that you would see in normal times. The film was centered around a beautiful old couple who were trying to sell their home. That home has been called theirs for decades but the times have changed so it is hard to stay in one place and old-fashioned when everything around you is changing. There was a moderate change in wardrobe but that would be w...

Title Design Research: (Thriller) 30 Days of Night

  1.      How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? I counted fourteen titles this time around. I am starting to feel unsure as to am I counting the titles correctly. When I read the requirements for question one I thought the answers would be around 3-4. Lately I have been getting ten and over. I am a bit worried that I am counting extra credits. The credits I saw in the opening film were screenplay, screen story, produced by, executive producers, director of photography, production designer, editors, actors, music by, co-producer, casting, visual effects supervisors, production company, and unit production managers. In all honesty I started to see assistant directors and things along those lines so I stopped. That was definitely too much for me to add to the blog. 2.      What connotations do the images carry? This opening sequence put their all into it. Never have I ever heard an opening song that ...

   Hello everyone! It has been a while since I have come around this block to update you guys on what is going on. Lately I have researching different ways I can improve my final task. I can recall what felt like yesterday choosing between two fantastic pitches. One pitch was about an escaped robber hidden amongst teenagers hanging out at a local mall. The other pitch was about a tragedy is reported by a girl in her diary and how drama unfolds. Despite my efforts to go with the first one I had to go with the second. As a high school student, with no source of income I was unable to fund my activities or any projects that may have come my way. Of course I would be able to buy a camera that is necessary because the camera would last me nearly a lifetime. As well as it would be a one time purchase instead of continuous payments. To add to my disadvantages I knew that I was gonna have more than a hard time gathering the people I would need. In my planning blog I mentioned choosing...
