GENRE RESEARCH #3: ACTION

 CAMS: There are several shots and angles used in superhero and actin films. For an example, Tracking shots. This is when the camera follow the character while they are moving. Directors might use tracking shots to show speed and increasing immersion allowing the audience to feel as if they are moving along side of the characters. Additionally, low and high angles. High angles are used to show the audience looking down on the character. This makes the character look small as in hopeless and vulnerable. Low angle is used to show the audience looking up at the character. This shows the character to be powerful. An establishing shot is used to show a full frame shot of the city in which the story is set. 

CLAMPS: In the terms of setting, directors film usually in a cityscape setting. For example, Atlanta for Marvel and Cleveland for DC. Directors may use secret lairs to show the villains story and enhancing it. 

EDITING: In superhero movies, there are plenty of common editing techniques like fast cuts, cuts between shots, flashbacks and SFX. Fast cuts during fighting scenes can bring the dramatic scenes. These are filled with high energy and intense emotions leaving the audience in awe. Lastly, CFX and SFX makes bullets or high pyrotechnics feel realistic intending the scenes filmed. 

SOUNDS: Superhero movies include A LOT of sounds like dialogue. There are a lot of onomatopoeia like 'CRASHES' 'BOOM' 'BAM' and dramatic build up music. A lot of the 'BOOMS' and 'BAMS' are used to amplify the intensity of the punches and explosions during a scene, examples of this genre: Spiderman, Guardians of the Galaxy and Venom.

INTRODUCING: MY FIRST BLOG!!

  Hello viewers, my name is Jaylah Duroseau. I'm a sixteen-year-old high school student enrolled in Fort Lauderdale High School as an 11th grader. My birthday is June 18th so that makes me a Gemini. As you can see in the picture above, I'm a twin!! Most people can't tell the difference, but I can offer you some personal aid. I'm the one in the blue dress. To put your mind at ease wondering if we are fraternal or identical twins, we are fraternal. This information surprises most people. At Fort Lauderdale High, I'm in the Pre- Law Program but also have plans to graduate with my AICE Diploma. Both me and my twin are currently enrolled in Cambridge Classes and have planned out a successful future for ourselves. At first, I wanted to pursue a career as a lawyer. What changed my mind was the movie The Accountant which made me want to pick up the career as a Forensic Accountant. This field is a mixture of both law and accounting.  My dream is to attend either Howard Unive...

FINAL TASK: FILMING AT OUR LOCATIONS

Image
  Our dates for filming has changed significantly as time progressed. As distance is a key factor in our production process, we have had to resort to us putting separate videos together. Our first plan to film at Zariah’s house fell  through because  they had a family emergency that day. This led to us having to scramble together to have our film dates together. We did panic at a point in time which led us to separate from each other. This separation bridged us apart from each other. We did have a couple of disagreements when we were in contact with each other. Our pettiness did get the best of us at times. However, all of us Me, Zariah and Saja came to the realization that this project needs to be done. As a unit we must come together for the sake of our short film. We worked so hard on our script putting our creative minds together. We came about tackling our problems by discussing with a film teacher at our school to see any possible ways to fix our issues with filming...
