Movie Research- Elf

  What conventions of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? -This movie has all of the great conventions that a good quality comedy movie contains. It has sarcasm, good camera angles, a power struggle that is relatable and can be versatile, and even an interesting plot that keeps you interested. -The movie contains good costumes and acting purpose it had an interesting power struggle for the movie and it was even related to Christmas time and is now very well know around December. - This movie is very good however it does have some rather unrealistic animations that it would look better without. It is also only popular for one part of the year and I would prefer for my film to make a year round short film.

Movie Research-Legally Blonde

  What conventions of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? -This film contains lots of sarcasm and jokes which I thought made a good movie. The angles and editing of the movie were a good fit and were very modern for its time. The movie was a very big success for numerous reasons and follows the attributes of any good movie. -This movie also contained many iconic costumes and props that people talk about to this day. -The movie was rather not up to date because of how long ago it was made I would rather do it on a better quality camera and make it with a more modern power struggle to make it more relatable.

Movie Research- Just Go With It

  What conventions of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? - This movie has lots of good scripts and it is a good movie due to the thought put into the script and scene relations. Most of the things said and done are all related to one another. This really impressed me and created a very timeless movie. -The movie had incredibly good settings and created a beautiful scenery for the movie to take place. The movie also had interesting plots and tropical costumes. - I did not enjoy the thought put into the cast because I feel as if the actors are in different worlds and it would be better if it was more planned out

 I have come to the conclusion of doing a woman's film short film for a plethora of reasons. It is going to be better when I choose my group of people to do my video with. Since I can film with my mother sister or friends. I also believe I could create a better script for a woman's film instead of making one for a romantic comedy or even a thriller.

Genre Research: Thriller

Common camera angles- low angles- with close ups and over the shoulder angles. Common traits- Scary like costumes, flicker lighting, thriller and excitement for actors, scary setting. Common editing-Lots of black screens and fake vision or animations. Common sounds- Their are some gore and sci-fi related sounds that sometimes occur on scenes. Film examples-Saw X, The Nun, Heart of Stone I enjoy this genre because it keeps you on your toes and make you want to keep watching the film which keeps me interested. I disliked this topic because it can be hard to be without looking like an ammeter and it requires lots of props with a proper setting.

Genre Research-Romantic Comedy

Image
 Common camera angles- eye level- lots of close-ups for intensity. Common traits-not typically costumes, sensitive acting with jokes, props include flowers gifts things to help make jokes, and romantic/funny settings Common editing- Unnoticeable transitions normally occur. Sounds-Some romantic and sound effects can play. Movie examples-How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, Pretty Woman, Love Actually I enjoy this genre because it is entertaining and can be a very good short film. I dislike it because I could not find the people for it which could make it difficult.

Genre Research- Woman's Film

common cams- Many of these films are shot at a mid-distance and involve many close ups. common clamps- They generally have makeup because of the female characters and a variety of costumes common editing-dramatic editing common sound- Lots of music to show confidence or suppression. film examples-Barbie, Hidden Figures, 4 months 3 weeks and 2 days The things about this genre that do not appeal to me are the emphasis and unprofessional touch that some films have. 

My Pitchs

 a. A poor girl who's forced to work for the rich girl later starts dating for boss and gets revenge. b. A girl who struggles with her identity and the way the society perceives her as a whole. A explanation- I would like to do this pitch because it has an interesting plot and I think it could go in a lot of different directions. It gives me creative flexibility and is different from normal plots. I think it would go good with certain scenes and settings but certain things would be difficult to access. B explanation- I think that this pitch relates most to my life story. It would show how much woman struggle in society. This plot can have a variety of endings and could have a plethora of plot twists through the short film its self. It would be the perfect length and should make a good video. I chose pitch B-A girl who struggles with her identity and the way the society perceives her as a whole. This is a topic I feel close to and I would love to make my short story about it. I can

 For my project I will be working by myself. I do find it better to work by my self for more upscale projects especially this one were it would be better not to rely on other people.I would rather do it to the fullest extent instead of partnering with someone that might not agree with my way of doing things. I have always felt this way for I am a bit introverted and find it best to do school projects myself. This is also because I can get it done on time, get a better grade, and learn more about the topic. I find it more informative when I am working on my own and can apply the knowledge I learned later since this project is very important to me and I want to get the best grade possible. This project is an opportunity to learn all that I can with film making and analyzing films. I intend on taking the A-level portion of this class next year so I really want to create the best top scoring video possible. I would enjoy being in a group for this project if it was not for Cambridge but it

 I am exhilarated to start my final task and begin my short film project and show my passion for media. This project is going to allow me to show my full potential for this course and show all that I have learned throughout this year. I am eager to conduct more research on how to even further improve what I have gathered on film making and analyzing other films. I am all about expressing creativity and showing who you are which I feel can be gravely shown through videos and images. This course has shown to me just how much cinema has a whole other meaning and can represent any type of struggle. I am truly excited to think outside the box and show Cambridge who I really am and how much I wish to showcase what their wonderful curriculum has taught me. I look forward to collaborate and compare what I have created with other class mates to learn new techniques. This project is going to allow me to explore and research in areas that I have not done before and I am truly excited to discover
