Genre Research: Thriller

  • Comedy is a genre of fiction that consists of discourses or works intended to be humorous or amusing by including laughter, especially in theater, film, stand-up comedy, television, radio, books, or any other entertainment medium. This genre incorporates high/low angles, and persistent close up shots which creates a closer relationship of the character to the audience. Many times in comedy, actors costumes may look exaggerated for comedic purposes. Fast-paced scene transitioning and goofy sounds may be added to further the comedic effect.
  • Suspense is the feeling of excitement or nervousness that you have while you are waiting for something to happen and uncertain about what it is going to be. Many pans, long shots, and slow paced scenes are often used to generate suspense. Actors look/dress regularly and will either be serious or scared. In suspenseful films, there will be slow scene slow transitions, dark ambiance, special effects, rapid or scary music, and often sharp noises to create fear.
  • Thriller is a genre of fiction with numerous, often overlapping, subgenres, including crime, horror, and detective fiction. They are characterized by the moods they elicit, giving their audience heightened feeling of suspense, excitement, surprise, anticipation, and anxiety. Thriller uses close-ups, panning shots, long and low shots to create suspense for the audience. The lighting, costumes, makeup, and setting help to contribute a character's personality to the audience and transform into new, believable, people on screen. Jump cuts. fast and slow pace transitions, action matching, shot reverse shot, and eye-line match to create tension, convey emotion. and represent characters.
  • After looking through all of these genres, examining the different factors that make up that genre. My group decided to go with Thriller. This is because we thought it was more exciting, more easy to make, and the audience would have more to look forward to.

Filming Blog: Plans Didn't Work Out Again

Image
Well my group and I wasn't able to film at all. When me and my group came to class that week we talked about filming again. I think there was an early release day that week but we couldn't use it because we would be busy. In the end we wall agreed that Sunday would be our other filming day. On Monday, I was doing... as usual. I also watched the Grammys. Which are  awards presented by the Recording Academy of the United States to recognize outstanding achievements in the music industry. They are regarded by many as the most prestigious and significant awards in the music industry worldwide. On Tuesday, I didn't have that much homework. So I watched a movie and a TV show. On Wednesday, I did homework again. During my study hall class I went to best buddies. Best Buddies is a club at my school that consists of volunteers that create opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. On Thursday, I did homework. On Friday, I did nothing. I just watched m...

Production Blog: Editing My Videos

Image
Once me and David finished filming on 12/10/22. We wanted to import the clips he took on his phone but we both agreed on waiting until Monday. We then imported the clips through email. David decided to give me half of the clips then the other half the next day. I eventually got all the clips and I started to import them into my editing program, which is Adobe Premiere Pro. I've been using Adobe Premiere Pro for about a year and a couple of months. Before I started editing my part of the music video, I organized everything by 5 different categories... videos, sound/music, green screen videos, sound effects, and photos. I do this all the time because it helps me find things easier rather than everything being all of the place. Also, it's been this way ever since I got Premiere Pro. Before I import the clips I put the actually music video from the artist into the timeline, which is where are the clips, photos, music, and text is placed. I then went through every video and decided ...

Planning Blog: Title Design

The opening credits of my film will appear in a bold font that appears to be typed in different places around the screen. The size of the text will be pretty big so the audience can clearly see the credits. The color will be white with a black shadow/outline to give a little edge. Some credits, will appear to be embedded into the actual setting. For example, on the walls, on the objects in the scene, and buildings/houses. Working Title: The title of the film is most likely to be "R3VENGE" The working title will be bold faced with all caps: LIKE THIS . Also, the 3 will be 1-2 lager than the font and will be red: LIKE THIS The titles will be faded into the screen and and disappear with a fade out. The titles will disappear after 2-3 sentences. Some of the titles may have different sizes. Like 2 sizes larger than the normal. The titles are the Name o the Studio, Name of Production Company, Produced/Executive Producer, and Directed By. These titles will also be bold faced. Video ...
