Genre Research: Ava

The movie Ava delves into many genres. Thriller, Crime, Action, Mystery, and Drama are all of them to be exact. However, we are mainly focusing on the thriller scope of this movie as it relates to the genre we are using for our opening scene. The movie Ava is about a woman who was an alcoholic and is recovering from being an addict. After a fight with her mom, she joins the military to be a soldier. She then becomes an assassin after being discharged due to questioning authority, etc. As if history has repeated itself, once again she begins to question authority and the way things are done in her assassin organization and starts to break protocols. This leads to a hit being put on her by the leader of her organization and she is wanted dead. Viewers then are watching her survive in the fight against her organization as she is fleeing and fighting. An element that I choose to base my opening scene that this movie has is suspense. During the movie, at first, no one knows why she is being attacked. This creates a sense of anxiety and excitement as we are waiting for the protagonist to finally learn who is against her and how she responds to it. Another element of thriller presented in the movie that I want to base my final task on is anticipation. When Ava was fighting another assassin in the movie she was unprepared as she was going for a jog. I thought that after she ran away she let the assassin go but it turns out she was hiding in the fountain and jumped out the moment he was close to the fountain. Elements of the movie that I liked relating to thriller were the difficulty and planning of the protagonist and the suspense giver at times in the movie. The killing was also a lot but it wasn't as bloody or gore as some of the thriller movies I have watched before. As for elements I did not like in this movie based on thriller there were not any. However,  the opening scene of Ava I believe should have been a little more action fast-paced. This is because as the movie continues it starts to pick up the pace fast as Ava is in shootouts, etc.

"The Lazy Song" Music Video Cover

H ey, Everyone and welcome back to another update on our video. We have finally finished the video and added the last finishing touches. As you all know, for this assignment we were allowed to work with a partner or individually. We chose each other since we were in the same class period and thought it was best to have someone to work with. For our music video project, we chose to do a cover of “The Lazy Song” by Bruno Mars. We choose this song since we can relate to being lazy, procrastinating, or the feeling of just not wanting to do anything. We did have some things in our way, however. Kendia’s mom had changed her mind about letting her come to my house after we had already done our storyboard. With her being at her cousin's house we had to rearrange some of the days that we were going to film. Regardless of that, we were able to meet up and finish the music video. In our research stage, we noticed that many people copied what was done in the original music video. They had eith...

Starting the final task

Hi, my name is Melissa Meme, and welcome😊. These new set of blogs will document my partner and I's journey as we work on this final task. Last time, I worked on a music video before the winter break. In this new project, we are to create an opening scene for a movie. This time I would be introducing myself all over again. I am currently an 11th grader who is attending Fort Lauderdale High School. I am a Haitian American who is somewhat fluent in Haitian Creole. I am plan in the future to work in the medical field. So far I enjoy this class and love that I am learning all about films and the process. I choose to work with my best friend Kendia Banks. We partnered up for all media group projects together last year so it made sense to work with each other again for the final task. We are best friends and I work well with her so it was good to know we can group with those we knew. Seeing this is our final task we can then push each other to get work done. I also choose her because the...

Genre Research: Action

  Earlier this year, I had to create a PowerPoint on a genre of my choice. We were also given the choice to work with a partner for this project. Hence, for this project, I worked with my best friend. I talk to her every day and we are in the same class, so this was the best option. When picking our genre, we chose “action” as this is the type of genre we seem to watch a lot in the past year in movies and shows. When doing our research we watched and looked at trusted websites to acquire knowledge of what methods or materials are used to produce action movies. We researched what lightings are used in action movies. We also researched the angles that are used in action movies. We also researched the camera movements, mise en scenes, and sounds involved/used in action movies. From the information we obtained, some common lighting in the genre of action is low-key lighting and backlighting. Low-key lighting emphasizes dark tones and shadows and creates an ominous and suspenseful mood....
