Genre Research: Action

 For our final task in media studies, we will be creating an opening sequence to a movie. For me trying to figure out what genre i wanted to make the movie was definitely the most difficult part. After researching all other genres i decided to create an opening sequence to a romantic genre movie. I chose the romance genre because i believe with my resources and knowledge of romance movies, this will be the easiest for me to produce. When filming or directing a romance movie the 4 main lighting techniques used are “high-key lighting”, “lowkey lighting”, “natural lighting” and “keylight lighting”. These lighting techniques are used to create a bright and happy effect for the audience. Camera angles are used to show the audience the full emotion behind the scenes and surroundings. The most common camera angles found in a romantic movie are usually “long shot”, “two-shot”, “close-ups”, and “Medium Shot”. In all movies without the Mis-En-Scene, there wouldn’t be a movie. In most romance movies, costumes, makeup, and props such as dinner tables are used to pull the emotion of the movie together. Along with the Mis-En-Scene, all movies need edited sounds for the audience. The most common sounds heard in romance movies are, romantic music playing in the background, Dialogue, and sound effects. These details could be found in any romance movies such as, “The Notebook”, “Dirty Dancing”, “The Princess Bride”, and “Titanic”.

 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
