Genre Decision Blog

 I've decided that the genre of my opening sequence is going to be drama. I did some extra research on horror, thriller, and drama to make sure that I was going with the right genre. I went over all three PowerPoints to look at the characteristic of each genre. At first I thought thriller might be a good genre to use. Good thing I went back to look at the PowerPoint because my idea for my opening sequence would've been way off. I think drama is the best way to go because it delivers the type of emotional aspect that I'm going for. If I chose thriller it would've left the audience a little confused. Doing horror was definitely out of the question. My opening sequence is about a widowed after losing her husband...Nothing about that is screaming horror to me. Its a sad event that will hopefully make the audience feel a sense of sympathy towards the reader. Before my idea was just an idea. Film a lady getting a phone call saying her husband died at war. I am now starting to go more in-depth with it. I'm thinking in the beginning I'll do a short montage to show the relationship between her and her husband. Then he leaves her for war. They go back and forth for awhile on the phone. A little before he should arrive home, she'll get a call saying he past. The audience wont know what the call is about but she will look devastated. This will kind of leave the audience on a cliff hanger because they wont really know what's going on but they can assume that something bad happen.

 I haven't went to edit me film yet. at all. I'm not too pressed about it through because its due in two weeks. I'll get it done by then. hopefully. Anyways, My boyfriend took me on a surprise picnic date on Saturday. It was so fun. we got food from this "here an now" place in downtown Fort. Lauderdale. The fries were good. I also got wings. They were kind a spicy but it came with BBQ sauce on the side. I dipped my wing in the sauce until it ran out and then gave the rest to my boyfriend. He brought a bag soda and juice and I tried a new drink. It's really rare that I try new things because I think new thing are bad. I know, Not the best way to live life. We went to Victoria park, it was so nice there were kids running around but they were far enough away to not be annoying. We were there for probably 30 minutes then it started to ran, and I was NOT getting caught in no rain. WE finished eating so I told him to get the car and I would pack the stuff up. Then w...

Title Research: Daredevil

Image
  I've never watched Daredevil before, so this was my first time seeing the opening sequence. The first thing I see in the title sequence is a face dripping in a red substance. There is a zoom out effect and then I see a body. The theme was red. The only other color I saw was black and that when their were shadows. The red makes out several different figures. The figures look like, buildings, people, a bride, and some type of pot. Towards the end of the title opening the red figures makes an angle, a castle, and a devil. Finally the title of the movie appears in bold and red. the Marvel logo also shows up on the left side of the title. To me the images most prioritized were the castle, angle, and the devil. I say this because the duration of these images lasted longer than the others. The red outline of the devil is bigger then the angle outline. I also noticed that the devil outline was more human like than the angle. The angle looked like one of those fake ones that you put on yo...

Genre Research: Drama

           In this genre PowerPoint project I was asked to make a PowerPoint on the genre of my choice. For this project I decided to choose drama as my genre. I chose this genre because my sister is in drama at my school. One day I went to one of her plays. I don't really know too much about theater. The only reason I have the amount of theater knowledge right now is because of this class. Anyways, I went to one of her plays and I thought it was really cool. I cant remember what the name of the play is off the top of my head, but it was really funny. I think it was a musical actually. A lot of the girls had really good voices, even one of my guy friends were in the play and he's voice was nice too. In my project PowerPoint I learned a lot about the "behind the scenes" of drama and what it took to have a successful set-up. I made a 10 slide PowerPoint on all the common factors of Drama. I researched thing like common lighting, common camera angles, common m...
