Short film research: Chuck Steel: Raging Balls of Steel Justice

 

Example film of your genre- Chuck Steel: Raging Balls of Steel Justice

 Common Sound in your genre- In many action films there is a common sound of gun shots and police sirens. In this short film there is also non-diegetic sound where music is play to show tension. Also lots of dialogue between the good guys and the bad guys. This dialogue is very different from the dialogue between the good guys and other characters because when talking to the bad guys there more aggressive.


 Common Mis-En-Scene (CLAMPS) in your genre- In short films there is usually a good guy and bad guys. Many action shorts have police officers with bullet proof vests and weapons. The bad guys in action shorts and have larger guns and seem to have control of something of value. The shorts also use quick camera movements in order to show action or pace.


 Common Editing in your genre- In action editing is important for many reasons. To start, editing helps keep the action and pace of the film. Editors use fast cuts and quick camera movements to keep use in the action. In this action short they used opening credits.


What elements of the genre that you like- I love the fighting and action part of the film because it keeps me engaged on the film. I also love the parts in the film where the plan is being constructed and put into action. What elements of the genre do not appeal to you- I dislike the slow part in the movie where the characters have meaning less conversations that don’t help the plot.

My Final Intro Blog

Image
  Welcome back everybody to my last intro blog ever. I am Daniel Brinkworth and I go to Fort Lauderdale High School. I am so excited that I am finally in A level media studies. I can’t wait to start my final task for a level. Last year for my final task we made an opening for a movie. Now that I moved up to A level i am tasked with making a five-minute movie. I have been so excited for this project since I first heard about it in the beginning of the year. My final task in AS level 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 filming. The AS level final task gave me a good idea of what was going to be asked of me for my A level final task with some new elements I will need to include. Another thing the AS level final task 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 AS level final task required just th...

Editing for My Final Task

Image
  Welcome back to my blog! Today, I'm excited to talk about the editing process for my final task. Unlike last year, where I had a lot of help from my group, this year I'm alone. Last year, Rhys from my group took charge of most of the editing, and the video turned out great. However, this time around, I don't have that luxury. So, I had to figure it out on my own and I learned some new skills in the process. First things first, I scouted out different software options for editing. Many required payment or personal information. I then stumbled upon CapCut, which turned out to be a great choice. Once I imported my clips and added them to the software, along with the opening credits I'd already prepared, I was surprised to find that my footage exceeded five minutes. Initially, this seemed overwhelming. It actually forced me to trim down unnecessary shots and focus solely on the story. With all my clips in the software, I began editing my opening scenes, embedding titles, ...

Production Blog: Planning

Image
  Welcome back to my blog. In this blog I will talk about the planning process that took place. My group mates and I worked very hard to plan out our final project. There were many steps that were involved in making our final project. One of the major things that we had to do was our storyboard. The storyboard is a scene-by-scene depiction of what we are going to film. This is very helpful when filming because we have something to go off of rather than just trying to throw it all together last minute. Another thing that was really helpful when planning was our title research because we were able to find similar movies and look at their opening scenes in order to get ideas of what we would like to do. This also helped with the storyboard because we were able to decide where to embed titles. It is very important to consider placement of where these titles should go. As a group we need to discuss and agree where each title should go. We also needed to decide where the titles will come...
