Genre Research: Action

 





Hey y’all! Today I will be analyzing the different aspects of the thriller genre:

Common CAMS in the genre

  • Point of view Shots-shows what the character is seeing/audience gets the same feelings
  • Wide shots- shows the overall setting/what it looks like
  • Tracking- follows the movement of the character
  • Low angle- give off weak emotions to the audience/emphasize how another character is powerful
  • Birds Eye View- character appears to look powerless/vulnerable


Common CLAMPS in the genre

  • Costumes can include anything (sometimes they use superhero/villian clothing)
  • Lighting is usually big and light 
  • Makeup could be used to show bruises after an accident or make a character look more like an antagonist
  • Props are used for a plethora of things like blood or weapons

Common Editing in your genre

  • Action Match Cuts
  • cutting 
  • Jumping

Common Sound in your genre

  • Non-diegetic sound
  • diegetic sound
  • Music

Example Films

  • The Gray Man directed by Joe Russo and Anthony Russo
  • Bullet Train directed by David Leitch
  • The Equalizer directed by Antoine Fuqua


What elements of the genre that you like and would use if this was your genre?

I would like to use the Birds Eye View, action match cuts and the music if this was my genre since these are different elements that I feel like would be cool to produce in my film.


What elements of the genre do not appeal to you, and you would not use if this was your genre.

If this was my genre, the only element that does not appeal to me are the costumes. The superhero costumes are not my favorite element and do not appeal to me. For this reason, I would not use those type of costumes if this was my genre.

  Hey y'all! Today I will be analyzing and researching different title sequences for my final task. Title sequences are important for films because they set the tone for the film. These opening sequences usually set the mood that the director wants to convey to the audience. For this reason, I decided to research more on title sequences because this is very important and helpful. Instead of trying to watch a plethora of movies on different streaming platforms, I chose one website that can do it all. This website is called, "Art of the Title Website", and it allows myself to research different title sequences with ease. The 'Art of the Title Website' provides you with different genres, the website is free to use, and extremely easy to navigate. I decided from all of these reasons that this will be the website that I will be using to do my research. I can not wait to learn more about making a title sequence. Well, that is it for today!   Bye, Pookieess!

  Hey y'all! I have more information about my production process. Today the filming process was a lot harder than I thought. I was not able to record at one of the clubs that I attended but that was it. Now, my vision of revealing my busy life is starting to become more difficult than I imagined. However, I am going to keep advancing with my idea. My main goal for this production day was to take some relatable pictures for my commercial. First, I decided to take some pictures with my siblings. I snapped pictures with my siblings separately and together at a wide shot. The wide shot is a type of camera shot that completely shows a character or a group of characters within the frame. I decided to take wide and close up shots with my friends and other activities that I attended. I am not hundred percent certain on using all of these shots and pictures in my actual commercial. Which is why I can not wait to start editing to see the final results of my commercial. Additionally, I record...

  Hey y'all! Today I have decided to start my production process. I started planning out where and who I wanted to film with. Prior too, I knew that I wanted to film with my siblings and friends. My main focus was the type of angles and shots that I would record. During my planning and researching time, I created  some ideas to match my concept for this commercial. This commercial is supposed to display the chaotic perspective that I have of my life. Similar to a day in my life video. Which is why, I decided to record a tracking shot. The tracking shot follows a subject through a scene and reveals the scenery. One of the ideas that I decided to film, was myself running to class because I do not want to be tardy. I asked one of my friends to record me running or quickly walking to class. This scene was kind of hard to record since I actually did not want to be late to class. However, with filming this shot, I had to record multiple takes. My main desire for this shot was the ba...
