Genre Research: Birdbox


 The movie bird box incorporates many genres alongside thriller. The genre of horror as fear is inflicted in the viewers as we do not know what the creature is. Drama as there is a lot of tension in the film. Scientific fiction as the creatures in the movie are made up and not real. As well as Apocalyptic as the world is under lockdown and fighting for its survival. This movie is also very suspenseful and keeps you on your toes, hence, the reason for it being a thriller.

An element of a thriller that I saw in this movie that I will be using in my opening scene is suspense. Then suspense in this movie kept me on my toes. With each passing scene, I kept on wondering if they would make it out alive. Especially when the undercover guy that was staying with them, tried to make them all see the creature. Or when the woman killed herself after I thought that she was going to make it. The element of provoking anxiety is another element that I also would like to use. This element correlates alongside suspense very well. If I was to use suspense in my opening scene, viewers would want to know what happens next. The feeling of being anxious would heighten the thrill that spreads throughout their body as one is anticipating what's to come. Anxiety makes the feeling of suspense feel as if it is going to suffocate them if all is not revealed. Therefore, this would be good for our opening scene as we want to draw viewers in.

There were not any elements that I didn’t like in this movie. However, I wished that they had revealed what the creatures looked like as it was never explicitly shown.

"The Lazy Song" Music Video Cover

Image
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....
