A good laugh to kick things off - #26

   Once we finally started filming the project, we were able to get the ball rolling. However, that didn't mean that everything would come along as quickly or as easily as we thought. We realized that we would need several days to film due to the little time we had for each part.


  At first, I was only able to film the second half of the opening since I was only able to get Victor and Kyle to shoot. What I would soon find out was how silly things would get. The first part that we filmed was when Miguel discovered Tim on the floor battered and bruised. Since Kyle needed to lay in the dirt for this part he was finding it difficult to act seriously. 


  We would end up getting the shot that we needed, but it wasn't without laughter or some cringe. In the part where Miguel discovers Tim lying in pain on the floor, Tim is to make groaning or agonizing noises to show that he did get somewhat hurt. We shot several times to make sure that it sounded right, but we ended up not getting the shot without bursting out laughing. I must admit, it was very funny to watch and film.

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                       ...
