Scheduling time for filming - #19

   Shooting for the film may be the fun part, but many forget about the tedious, and tricky organization of it. For instance, time is needed to film. This means that all of the actors that are needed must be available for a set amount of time. This factor makes filming the project, especially promptly more difficult.


  I asked my friend Kyle, who will be starring the main character if he would be available on the 12th, which is on a Monday. Unfortunately, he was not free at that time, which was when the other actors were free. This really made the process more difficult, as I needed a particular part filmed by then. 

  In other news, I was able to get all of my friends to agree to a different date. The date I picked was February 13th, which happened to fall on a Tuesday, statistically, Tuesday is not a very busy day, and this happened to be true, as nothing had come up in any of their schedules or even mine. 

  Even with the minor impediment of one not being able to film on the 12th initially, I was able to work everything out with all of the other actors to schedule filming on the 13th. This makes it much easier to get all of the production done that needs to be completed promptly.

Genre Conventions - #3

  The sports genre may not seem super complex, however, it does have many conventions. In order to understand what make up these types of films, we must ask ourselves what are genre conventions? These are elements, themes, topics, situations, and plots that are common in a certain genre. Sports films are most likely to consist of a tragic background that introduced how the character was brought to be in the situation they're in, an athletic contest that define the central characters, and a resolution in which the two rivals resolve in the end. The specific types of these films are the biopic, the sports history film, the documentary, and the typical boxing film.   Drama also comes with its typical conventions, like slow motion, monologue, adding narration, and also exhibits realistic characters and plots. These conventions when combined, help to create some of my most favorite movies. Some examples of these are 12 Years A Slave (2013), One Night In Miami (2020), and Forrest Gu...

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 becau...

Famous scenes enhanced by music - #8

   Music is a great way to use sound to appeal to the audience. Film directors use it to enhance the mood. One example used in the horror genre is Insidious. The music is very important to determine how the audience should feel during a scene, which is because it is the second most important sense to humans. The example shown below is meant to drive fear into the heart of the audience, as an eerily high-pitched violin is heard screeching a tune repetitively, and all sound comes to a sudden stop, which then blasts scary music and leads into the introductory title of the film.   Another good example is the music used in Jurassic Park. This scene highlights Dr. Grant and Dr. Sattler's first sighting of a dinosaur. Since the objective of the scene was to showcase the magnitude of such an amazing sighting, the sound motif signifies something that is grand and becomes very familiar in the franchise                       ...
