The Final Genre Decision

Image
The Genre we have chosen is Comedy as it is the most open and fun to work with the conventions are easy to break as it is supposed to be broken as comedy is a free world and when used with other genres it tells a great story. Because of that, we will combine drama and comedy to tell a multi-color story being a mature story but also funny to not be all drama as the conventions in a drama is important to tell the story whereas if it is a comedy with drama parts it break the conventions of comedy. A story that is both comedy and has drama elements can be difficult to execute well but when done right it can be a great thing to watch. One inspiration we will have is the Barbie movie as it cleverly uses both the drama and comedy genres to tell its amazing story. So we will hide the serious story beets in the comedy but not lower the importance of the plot point which is the hard part of taking Drama elements into a Comedy.

Ultimate Genre Research: Drama

     Drama is just one of those things that you can relate to, it causes real emotion to spike up which makes it a good Genre because it actually makes the watcher feel some way in relation to the movie, or has some type of internal conflict happening which just draws the story deeper. Common Camera Angles and Movement in Drama Films Close-ups Tilt  Dutch Eye level High angle Over-the-shoulder shot Point of View Common Mis-En-Scene Harsh lighting heavy acting massive settings clever Costumes Common Editing in the Drama Genre Jump cuts eye-line match Cross-cutting montage Common Sounds used in Drama films Sound Motif Voice over Dialogue sound Bridge Non-Diegetic sound Diegetic sound Examples of Drama films Napoleon All quiet on the western Front Barbie But what do I like about the genre?      The sound used and how it can be in the movie nicely and completes the scene or movie well. The diegetic sound in some drama films is amazing as it improves a scene the noise of a charged army or a

Ultimate Genre Research: Comedy

One of my favorite personal genres. Comedy!!! Personally mentioning, It's one of the best genres out there, because who doesn't want to have a good laugh at times. These are the most common types of camera angles, shots, etc. For a comedy. Common Camera Shots. Wide Shiot Arial Shot (Medium) Close up Tracking High angle Low angle Low usage of Macro-Closeup medium close up medium (Mosty) two shot three shot Common Mis-En-Scene Jewish Town CGI makeup Folk town Clothes Modern U.S.A. NewYork Old grain filter Standard Bright Lightings Common Sound The (Ambient Noice)background noise of "Newyork" Lacks sound motifs Digenic Sound. Non-Digenic Sound Common Editing Shot reverse shot Post-Closeup Freeze Frames Split/screen Cutaway I love comedy! I've already said that but it's just a wonderous genre of movies and shows that there are to watch. A big example can be Mr Bean On an Adventure, An American Pickle, and Peewee. What do I not Like about Comedy genres?          S

The Amazing Pitch Idea

Image
     First of all, please hear out the pitches we came up with. 1.     A Naval Captain and his Lower, set out at sea for 15 years never seeing true land, finally set foot upon land only to be met with conflict. 2.     A Roman servant is mistreated and decides to take revenge by organizing a revolution to overthrow the emperor, but realizes how struggle of being an emperor and receives the same fate.      Why did we decide on these Pitches in the first place out of others that we came up with?  The first pitch just hit the bell for me and Isacc, towards us it sounded really unique from all the other ideas that came to mind, and unlike any movies that were made at that time. One of the main motivations in the story was the amount of things that have changed within 15 years of evolving human technology and trends. Two sailors who had embarked on the sea for 15 years finally Sea World as it is. Meanwhile, on their adventure, they cause a multitude of problems while they travel through the

            For this amazing Film Opening video, I'll be working with another funny guy by the name of Isacc S.; I will proceed to direct you to the picture on the left, aka Isacc, and the picture on the right is a terrible and awful picture of me imitating my inner demons. He has his blog that he'll be updating with some similar details to this one, but still as different as it can be. I chose to work with Isacc because we make a good team of "Prankster Gangsters", meaning we're a good team, we can effectively work together to solve problems, change details and add on! Another plus is that we're able to actually work together and take each other's feedback and make conclusions based on the feedback, basically, what some might say, we have good chemistry because we're able to properly and efficiently work together on these things. I also wanted to work with Isacc because we're good friends and we understand each other's interests and reasons fo

The Funny Introduction.

                 For those who don't know me yet, hello I'm Daniel P. I'm a 10th-grader working towards a funny diploma that I'll probably hang on a wall and forget about until summer time ends and I'll have university, and I'll remember I graduated. I plan to make some type of mini-business aka some stable income flows to stay afloat. I'm a techy guy you could say, I work with tech a lot, and I mean a lot... I work with tech old and new, bad and good, it truly ranges from cheap tech just exploding and filling my room with smoke to having a terrible new car smell fill up my room, it's just chemicals that fill up the room. I also like working with mechanical items like older cameras, and clocks just messing around and building smaller replica cars with functioning engines and systems. I like tech a lot, it's a revolutionary topic that changed the way we walk, talk, and just ourselves overall, you don't see this from a lot of other inventions that
