Genre Blog: Overview- A Matter Of Maybes

  Well hello there! Haven't spoken to you in quick a bit, have I? Nevertheless, I think it's best we just jump right back into the (lights, camera,) action and get back on track! Now that we have selected our pitch and had some time to think, my teammates and I are very excited to finally start conceptualizing our short film! The first step in that process is none other than selecting a genre. The genre of a film determines its entire tone and essentially the direction in which the story progresses. Based off of our pitch, my partners and I have concluded that our film could plausibly go in one of three directions, a cathartic comedy, a dreadful thriller, or maybe even a terrifying horror piece.      If one were to consider the comedic route on its own, they would find that it is quite an interesting avenue to take. Comedy has been a source of entertainment for over a millennia, causieach try to redefine horror and amp up the level of fear they can drill in...

Production Blog: Editing!

Hello again! After such a long weekend of filming, the group has now taken on the task of editing. As I have mentioned in previous blogs, Jordyn is the main lead in editing in the group, as she has the most experience and is the most tech-savvy, so she again took the lead here. The main application used was iMovie. This was used to combine the raw takes together, ensuring that the scenes line up, and the transitions are correct, as well as adding a few subtle transitions and hues. This application made it exceptionally easier for the group to see how to line up the shots during filming.

If these clips were not to the group's liking, the application also allowed for the individual scenes to be cropped, zoomed, pinched out, and moved up or down.  After this rough-draft stage of editing, Jordyn uploaded the clips onto a software called DaVinc...

Short Film Research: Thriller- Gridlock- Locked In For The Ride

  Hey again! Today we have decided to inspect other short films that match our genre. First on our list was Gridlock by Ian Hunt Duffy. The short film was made available to us because it was uploaded onto the "Short of the Week" website, which is easily accessible on all platforms. To obtain the best viewing experience, my teammate and I watched them on a large laptop in a quiet room where we would be free of external distractions. We then conducted a thorough analysis of the conventions used by the short film, and we have outlined them below. Camera Angles, Movement, and Shots:     In the short film, there are a wide variety of camera techniques applied. In terms of camera angles, the film primarily relied on eye-level shots, particularly when subjects wre conversing. The reason being is that doing so allowed for the audience to feel grounded in said conversations and not be tempted to dsitract themselves with what might be happening in the background. High ang...
