Welcome to my final project

Welcome to my final intro blog for this year. I am Daniel Brinkworth and I go to Fort Lauderdale High School. I can’t wait for my final task. I can only imagine how much fun it’s going to be creating the first two minutes of a movie. I have been so excited for this project since I started my first commercial. The commercial really helped me to understand what I need to do for my blogs, what I need to do for my editing, and what I needed to do when it came to working with my group. The commercial gave me a good idea of what was going to be asked of me for my final task. Another thing the commercial really helped me do was figure out time management. I know that will be really important when it comes to this final project. Although the commercial did not have as many blogs as my final task requires, it helped me start to understand what to do for each blog and how I and my group mates would break up those tasks. Another thing that was really helpful for getting me ready to complete my final task was creating my music video. My music video was a little bit longer than my commercial. The music video required more effort and gave me a much better idea about what was expected of me on a larger project, than the commercial did. The reason for this is there were many steps in the music video planning that were not part of the commercial planning. For this final task, I am very nervous about having to do 10 production blogs for one project. I have never done this many before because in my music video, I only had to do six. I’m sure that because the final task is a longer video there will be more to write about, but it still makes me nervous. For the music video there were only two days of filming but for this project there may be 3 to 4. I am very excited to get started as soon as possible and this was the first step in to my production process. Thank you for reading my blog.

Movie Conventions Research: The Pale Blue Eye

Image
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...
