Decisions on sound, lighting Etc

 This right here is something I failed to realize. Some questions to ask would be, what sounds would my film use?, would they be diegetic or non- diegetic sounds?, would there be narration?, these are some questions that come to mind when thinking about sound. If you ever watched a teen movies made in the early 2000s, you can see how almost all of them have narration. Narration helps give background information to the audience. For example if the characters engage  conflict, the narration can give you knowledge on why this is happening or how did it start. Music can also help with the film as well. If you are doing a horror film you would use a low pitched sound, causing a eerie feel amongst the audience and setting the mood to how you want it to be. In our case we would put music that brightens up the mood, such as pop music to show how high school (in movies) really are. If we play some low music leading to silence, this foreshadows that something may happen just about now, or maybe the plot is about to reach its climax. Just like music, lighting plays an important part of setting the mood of the film. If you have lighting that is very bright lighting, it can show joy and happiness, which is what the group is trying to go for. We need bright lighting most of the film and joyful pop music to truly set the tone of the opening sequence. Although in some scenes where conflict does appear, we will use dark lighting and low tone music to give the audience a eerie feel. This will also help build tension

Storyboard

 This was easily the most easy but difficult assignment that we have had. Since one of our group members left our group, there was a little bit of conflict during the time we had the assignment. With Kayla and my great thinking plus Adonai's creativity, we created a master piece. I gave the format and specifically what we were going to do, and Adonai successfully carried out that plan. This was difficult since we started so late, but we still got it done. This is what we have came up with

Case study

 This case study was a rough and vigorous task since it was very hard to retain information. The 5 parts of the case study (History/target audience, production, distribution,  marketing, cross media convergence and synergy) all of these parts make up a case study. How did I do this? Well first you get the film of your choice that relates to the genre you are doing, I chose the classic film "Mean girls" After that you start dong research on all 5 of those topics. You may be able to find a couple blogs relating on how to do and find these very few parts. But make sure your websites are credential and legit. You do not want to be using websites such as Wikipedia to gain information. This websites information can be altered by anyone who chooses to do so. Once I retained all the information from my research, I started to form my case study. You can either do a power point, word document, or a video. I chose to do a PowerPoint since it is easier to divide those 5 topics. Then you ...

In some movies there can be a lot going on in just a two minute film opening. Sometimes its just filled with action but then gives a explanation later or vice versa. In the genre I want to do, there isn't really a lot of action in most cases. Most of the time it has a little action then narration or narration explain what is about to happen. For example the opening for season one on the show "On My Block" there is not a lot of action neither narration but this scene introduces the main characters and the side characters in the show. Or in the Disney Drama/ comedy " Let it shine" where the filmer uses close ups, establishing shots, master shots, to show what is happening. Although there is not a lot of action in the scene, it shows some of the main characters. Or in the 1997 movie "clueless" which does not include a lot of action but similar to other movies in my genre it does include narration. This scene includes a variety of establishing shots, and c...
