Movie Research: Us

 



Hey y'all! Today I will be researching and analyzing the movie 'Us' directed by Jordan Peele:

  • What conventions of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have?
The conventions of this genre that I chose to base my final task on are the non-diegetic/diegetic sounds, dark lighting, and props. When I watched this movie I looked for all of the conventions that I may need to include in my final task opening sequence. This was a easy task since this is my favorite movie.
  • What conventions of the genre did the movie have that you liked?
Throughout the movie, there was use of a lot of non-diegetic sounds. One of the beginning scenes of the movie includes a wide shot of bunnies in their cages and an interesting choice of background music. I feel like that scene created a weird vibe for the audience, almost building the suspense and curiosity for the movie. Additionally, I loved how the costumes of the "Untethered" characters looked creepy and the use of dark lighting.
  • What conventions of the genre did the movie have that did not appeal to you and you are thinking of not filming for your final task?
This movie included a fighting scene towards the end and that did not appeal to me. I am thinking of not including any type of fighting in my movie because I want it hold more of it's suspense aspect. I do not think including a fight scene will convey what I want to towards the audience.



Bye, Pookiees!

  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...
