An obstacle that needed to be overcome

An obstacle that needed to be overcome - #18

A good film project does not come without its issues. Throughout my progression of creating the final project, some problems have arisen that have caused some delays in the process. To fully understand why these problems have occurred, we must dive into what is needed in the film.

To create a film at all, you must have good cinematic shots. The problem with this is finding the right angle. For instance, I needed to film a scene in which a car drives off. To do this, I needed to decide whether the camera should be placed at a low, or high angle, as well as close, or far.

Following what is seen on the screen, sound would also need to be synthesized with the viewing. To make the sound of the car driving off, I decided to pre-record the sound of the engine revving. This would be great for the foley sound element.

To tie everything in this one part together, I would need to put the clips in the correct order. For this part of the process, I used iMovie for the editing. A draft of the part that I filmed is shown below:

Final Cut - #42

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
