Short film research: The Guilt

For short film research I decided to watch the short film, The Guilt by David Victori. I looked for similarities between the action genre and this film. These are some of the similarities I found 

Common Sound: The film similarly uses non-diegetic sound to use intense music in tense parts of the film. The film also uses background music to express emotion in the film. The film also uses sound effects which could be used in action films as well. 

Common Mis-En-Scene: The film uses similar costumes to the action genre with messy, dirty, costumes. The film also uses similar lighting to show the sweat on characters which brings out the intensity. The film also uses prop weapons which would be used in an action film. 

Common Editing: Common editing between the film and the action genre is the use of lots of jump cuts and the use of blur in some scenes. 

I like how the action genre appeals to bringing out intensity in film which is not the hardest thing to do. Filming the action genre also sounds fun. I think filming an action film may be one of the best genres to film if I want to become more experienced in producing media. 

Some issues with the action genre are that it seems high maintenance to film. It seems like you need a lot of time and props to be able to film. Another issue is that action films are very reliant on editing and good editing software is hard to come by.

Production Blog: Finally Finished

Image
 Today we have finally finished our final task. For the past 2 months, me and my group have been continuously working on our final task project. We spaced out what we needed to do in order to get it done as quickly and efficiently as possible, and made sure we had enough time to produce a very solid film. Taking time to plan and research before we began filming also helped immensely with creating our film. We spent the first few weeks planning on where our film would take place, what it would be about, and what genre it would be. After landing on a genre and planning out a location to film, we began researching films similar to what we had planned and scoped out what we wanted our film to look like. After this, we created the storyboard and looked for music that we could incorporate into our film. Lots of time and planning went into the film before we actually started filming. After finishing the planning process, we began filming at our location which ended up being my house and b...
