Genre Research: Malcom & Marie

 What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have?

I loved the tension switch throughout the movie, There were many different things going on that made the story come along and make the movie deeper. Every 10 minutes feels like we get a better look into the relationship and the characters in it. Seeing the effect each high moment had on the next low made me analyze and look deeper into what was being said between the charcters.

What elements of the genre did the movie that you like?

I loved the rollercoaster of emotions this movie put me through. I went from laughing to crying ina span of minutes. I left the movie with a better look on myself, my relationships, and the way I view the world. I love how this movie brought up so many different topics and issues that can be relatable and have anyone question  themselves throughout it. I also loved how the music flowed with what was going on, with it being digetic and non-digetic at points. Both of them helped move the movie along, but epesically the digetic music went so well with the feeling of the movie and escalated things so much more. The framing of some shots made the movie feel so much deeper as well. Especially close up shots as the two main characters fought. Getting to see what the other was feeling, even through the music they chose, made me feel a deeper connection to them. 

What elements of the genre did the movie have the did not appeal to you?

The lows of the movie felt so extreme. I think it's more of me disliking the screaming and cursing than anything, but it felt like more could've been expressed through actions than words. Another thing I didn't like was how long the silent part near the end went on. I feel like nothing really important was show and the story didn't seem to progress. I wish there was more balance throughout the whole movie.



Signing off,

Short Film Research: Tangles and Knots

Short film description:     A sticky, intimate bond between mother and daughter becomes threatened when the mother helps her teenage daughter throw a party to impress new, popular friends. Sound: In the dialogue, there is no difference in how the mother and daughter speak to each other, speaking more like friends than mother and daughter. However, when the party starts, the mom begins interjecting herself into the daughter's conversations, teaching her how to take a jello shot and encouraging her to come into the pool. The added sound contributes to the setting, with dance music that helps bring the idea of it being a party altogether. This is made apparent when there is no dialogue and the daughter is just dancing, where all that can be heard is the music she's dancing to. There is no dialogue that needs to be understood or listened to, more so the viewer can focus on the daughter's awkward movements and how she feels in that moment. Mis-en-scene: The opening scenes work a...

Planning the storyboard for my Pentel commercial

First Scene: This will be the shot comparing other pens to Pentel pens. It will give the audience an idea of the kinds of things you can do with Pentel pens and why they're so much better. It will be a zoom shot. As the actor continues writing, the camera will zoom in to look at how the pen is acting on the paper. Second Scene: Here, the actor will take a highlighter to the generic pen and it will smudge everything up. This will be an extreme zoom. As the Pentel pens' inability to smudge and fast drying times are a huge part of their advertising, I wanted to include a shot that would compare Pentel pens to other pens. This will still be on the same desk as the first shot, but it will instead be an overhead shot truly focusing on the paper. Third Scene: It's well known how infuriating it can be to have a pen smudging up all your hard work, so I truly wanted to show that emotion here. The audience can empathize with our actor's struggle and want to help him find a better ...

Issues while Editing my Music Video

 So, since my last blog, quite a bit has happened. I managed to lose all my progress on my video. Now, let me explain. I was editing my video and decided to render it so I would be able to watch it without having to let it load. So, as I'm waiting for the video to render, a message pops up that my computer is about to die. Usually, I have a couple of minutes to plug it in, but it ended up dying right away and basically reset. I immediately plug my computer in and turn it back on. As I open up Premiere, my work on the music video was completely gone. I was completely shocked and upset. I started looking up how to recover my work because all that it said I had done was import my files into the program. All of the tedious editing to the lyrics was gone. I'm looking through every file on my computer, every possible place where it could be. The reason I hadn't saved a separate copy and knew where it was was due to the fact that I was relying on the auto-save feature, but I didn...
