Genre Research: “The Great Gatsby”

  Genre Research: “The Great Gatsby”



This is a great romance movie. While watching it again, this time only focusing on the effects of the movie was a whole different experience. Only moments into the movie I already saw many elements to classify it as a romantic movie. Not only is there the cliche romantic plot of the girl meets the guy but every detail and element of this movie is strategically planned out in every aspect. In this movie, the music and camera shot is the element I chose to base my final project off of. The diegetic background music added into the movie helps the whole plot align. The camera shots were planned out beautifully to show the emotions and intensity of the scenes. With the lowkey lighting at times, the movie gave it a very moody and heartfelt moment to the audience. While the high key lighting also brings a more romantic feel to it all with the nature surrounding. During the movie, the elements that I liked were the outfits used on the main characters. The outfits helped me get to know the character more and helped me remember what time zone the movie was based in. The props used pulled the acting and theme of the movie altogether. One scene that wouldn’t have been the same without a prop is the ending scene, without the telephone being outside and Mr.Gatsby going to get it, the whole movie wouldn’t have been as great as it is. I personally don’t have any elements from this movie that did not appeal to me.

 Storyboarding is the process of envisioning your ideas. A quick outline supported by a moderate picture. This gives you an idea of what you'll be filming before you start. This allows you to put your thoughts on paper and organize them. You'll have a clearer idea of what's going on if the story is more descriptive. You map exactly what you'll film and how it'll look scene by scene. Storyboarding is extremely helpful and necessary for the filming stage to run smoothly.

Production Blog final task

    Many of the filming processes have been disrupted for about a week. We're also trying to find out when we'll be able to restart the filming. We're hoping to do it this week during peak daylight hours. To reshoot the entire movie's opening sequence. After reviewing the footage from the previous attempt, we decided to tweak a few minor details. To make the actress stand out more to the audience, we will change her outfit to a lighter choice. For the actress and the specifics to be more lit up, I'll change the lighting to natural light. The camera angles would also be altered to better accommodate the actress's gestures. The setting will be altered to create a more dreamlike atmosphere. I'll also be working on the character's dialogue.

AICE Commercial Reflection questions

Name: Joshua Turk 1.   How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?       When I was filming my commercial, I wanted to make it seem as realistic as possible. I planned on doing it at a baseball field with great weather conditions. Unfortunately, I could not because the weather was not cooperating and the field was flooded. So I resolved to my backup plan. I filmed in a grass field area with a bit of rain. I believe it still looked good even though it would have been better if it was on an actual field. 2.  How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media text?      My project engages with the audience by showing and advertising the product to the viewers. I showed them how and what it is used for. When watching a commercial, the point of it is to advertise something and make people want to buy that product. For example, commercials such as Geico show their famous lizard speaking about i
