Group Blog

   


     Hello, I am back with my second blog. In this blog I will talk about my group. For my group I have my friends Rhys and Luc-Luis. I know I can trust and count on these group mates because I have worked with them before. In my AICE global class, we had to create a PowerPoint about invasive species, and we did well working together. I also have worked with them both separately in different classes. In world history I have partnered with Luc, and Rhys helps me in study hall. We have already discussed what our strengths are and what roles we could play in the project based on our strengths. Luc is great at technology and knows a lot about all of the angles, shots and other techie stuff. Rhys loves to film and take pictures and he is very good at those things. I am very creative and artsy. I also have a strange way of thinking which I think could be a good thing when it comes to new and creative ideas. I think a group of three is perfect for working together on a project. I have chosen to work with only two other people because in my experience, in a large group some groupmates don’t do as much work as others. I have been frustrated with my groupmates in a big group before. That is why I am excited to work in a group of three. Everyone in our group is talkative and works hard, but we all have different personalities that can help create a great commercial. Rhys is very outgoing while Luc and I are quieter around people we don’t know. Rhys’s personality will help if we need to ask people, we aren’t really friends with to be part of our project. I love the idea of working to create a commercial with my friends. As you can see, I am very excited to work with my groupmates and get started on this project.

Movie Conventions Research: The Pale Blue Eye

Welcome back to my blog. This movie follows some of the conventions of mystery movies, but it also goes against many common conventions . Most of the story-based elements discussed in our genre research, like an enclosed area or wealth as a motive, were not present in this film . More specifically, in the case of going against the convention of enclosed areas, the movie has many outdoor shots spanning wide areas, including wide shots of dozens of men in the forest . Instead of wealth as a motive, the movie had revenge as a main motive for the killings . The biggest example of breaking conventions was the twist at the end of the movie . While having a twist is common , this particular instance was not, as it was revealed that the detective was the killer . Despite this, many of the other elements of mystery movies w ere there in abundance . First off, the movie made use of dim lighting . Often, the only light present in a room w as a single candle . This lighting also casts...
