Songs that could be incorporated - #10

Songs are used many times in films, whether it was created just for a specific scene, or it was used to match the vibe. It is also something that the audience may be able to relate to, or just a song that they genuinely enjoy listening to. That being said, it is important to find the appropriate song to match the scene.

An example of a song that was made for a film was The Weeknd and Kendrick Lamar's 'Pray for Me' in Black Panther. The song gave the vibe of a popping underground club and mixed well in the background as the characters exchanged dialogue. A song that I would like to use would be 'Everyday' by A$AP Rocky, as I feel that it would fit the theme of a training montage.

Another example is 'Lose Yourself' by Eminem in 8 Mile. This song fits well with the theme, as it was made as a reflection of Eminem's character, and was used to highlight his story. A song that would go well with a character's reflection I believe would be Michael Jackson's 'Beat It', as it has a nice upbeat tone and fitting lyrics.

Overall, there is no one-size-fits-all song for a specific scene that you may want to incorporate, however, it is important to pick the right one, especially to help evoke the tone that you want the audience to know. Using songs would still be a great thing to incorporate either way!

Settings to Consider - #4

When creating a film, it is always important to identify the setting, or multiple settings. This is because it will help to match the event to when and where it is taking place. Since my film will be about a teenager who learns how to box, there should definitely be a boxing gym used at some point in the film. The location should also be clean and organized as well. It should also include an exterior setting, which may showcase how the characters interact with each other more openly, and at certain times of the day. A great exterior setting to use would be around the neighborhood, because it is an easy place to go out and film at and there is a lot of space for different types of camera shots. There may be some parts of the film that need to be filmed at night, or during the day, and this can be greatly demonstrated using the natural lighting of the sun. The location of the final battle should be noted as it may be included in the opening. This is because I believe that tying

Genre History - #2

Since my project will be a sports drama, I needed to do some research on the genre's history to gain more info. To start off, the Sports genre began with Charlie Chaplin's 'The Champion' (1915), which is a boxing silent film. The drama genre has more confusing beginnings however, since it was said to have originated in Greece as an evolution of religious ritual. Around the same time however, the Sanskrit Indian Prakarana arose, which is a play that consisted of five acts. This may have been regarded to spreading the genre of drama in the east, the same way Greece did in the west. As I've said before, 'The Champion' was the very first sports film. However, this was only a silent film which came around during the silent film era. Meaning that there was no real dialogue or important sounds which could influence the meaning of the film. A much more popular sports film that came later was Rocky (1976) starring Sylvester Stallone. Rocky has also remained a cultu
