Genre Research: Sci Fi

 Common camera angles and shots in Sci-Fi: Medium long shot, medium shot, close up, extreme close up, wide angle, tracking angle, and high angle

Common Mis-En-Scene in Sci-Fi: Set in space, high tech computers, use of futuristic props, use of violent actions and gore including makeup, futuristic costumes, and strange alienist bodily movements.

Common edits in Sci-Fi: Use of VFX, increase of shutter speed, cool color tones, jump cuts and cross cuts

Common sounds used in Sci-Fi: Futuristic noises, lightsaber noises, strange alien noises, loud mechanical noises, and spaceship sounds.

Some common films in the Sci-Fi genre include: The Matrix, Star Wars, Men in Black, Gaurdians of the Galaxy, and Star Trek.

Some aspects of this genre that I like and would use are the use of futuristic looking props as I think it would look cool as well as advance and make our story a bit more interesting. I also like the use of futuristic sounds and think that it would be interesting to incorporate that into our project.

I do not like and would not like to include the classic Sci-Fi space theme and setting as I believe it would not match our main theme of a scary look and more haunting feeling.

 One more effort of editing from me was needed for this project. I was tasked with applying filters to the film.  For many of the clips, I looked through all the filters the editing software had to offer. In most clips I wanted to use a filter that made the picture darker to show the mood in the bank robbery scenes. For some clips it was difficult to find a good filter to express what i wanted to express from the filter into the film. I think I found the right filters though. I believe i utilized them correctly as well. I also had to adjust the color grading in the film. This was a confusing and sophisticated thing I had never done before. So I went to YouTube to learn. After some practice of some other videos, I was able to color grade my film. I strived towards making certain pictures more prominent and bright in the film to bring out the energy and intensity that a action film has to offer. Overall, this was a cool new skill i learned that i am proud of now being famil...

My product aimed to represent the complexities and struggles of being a teenager. The combination of lots of free time and financial incapabilities can put teens in lots of trouble or situations that they don’t think they would end up in. The film aimed to show the stereotypical chaotic teenage boys and struggles they usually encounter. The film emphasizes the issue behind too much free time for teenagers which can get teens into trouble. It is healthy for teenagers to have jobs, hobbies, or play sports. These activities keep teens out of doing risky activities in their free time. Another social group that my film represented was the socioeconomic struggles the teens faced. The socioeconomic struggles the teens faced prevented them from doing things that normal teenagers can do. This caused them to engage in dangerous activity in order to have the opportunity that other teenagers have. The film overall aims to represent the issues that teenagers face and the poor decisions they can ma...

Production Blog- Editing

 Another day of working on our music video today was filming. We now have to edit the clips and put them all together after we've finished filming. It was a lot easier to edit because we had all of our best clips in one folder. One of the things we had to do was arrange the clips according to the plan. In the storyboard, we had previously figured out the order of the scenes. The music was then added to the video. We added the song pompeii to the music video's audio because that's the song we're making a music video for. The audio from all the other clips was then removed, leaving only the song's audio. Following that, we reduced each footage. Each clip was cut to fit the music and the tempo. We also cut it down to match the time constraints of the music video. We did this by trimming a few seconds off the end of each clip or removing scenes where we went out of character at the end of a scene and didn't stop recording in time. After that, we added all of our spe...
