Genre Research: Ava

     



One element that I chose to base my final task on is twists. There are many elements to choose from. I paired that element with this film because the film is flooded with twists. You could use this film as an example for how twists are supposed to be presented. A twist is when there are multiple changes. These changes aren’t bad, in fact they are good. The twists are what enhance the individual plot. Even though the plot can stand on its own there are ways to make it more interesting. Twists are one of the ways. What makes the twists so enhancing is the fact that they are unexpected. There are lots of pros and cons to the unexpected. People usually consider it to be a bad thing. It's just not as likely for people to know that there is lots of good in the unexpected. Like a birthday party it's already fun and interesting, but when it's a surprise party it's one hundred times better. An element that I found quite intriguing was the complexity of the plot. Lots of people mistake using conventions here and there to creating a cliche. The definition of cliche is something that is overused or lacks originality. This filmmaker had a very unique style. Throughout the movie small details that lead to the conclusion. An element that I disliked was the lack of attention grabbing. I wasn’t fully invested in this movie because the filmmaker did not make me.

Incorporating Perspective

Image
  Perspective is the way you see something. With this being said, everyone has their own perspective. People interpret things differently than each other. An example of this would be the famous saying,” Is the glass half empty or half full?” This is asking how someone perceives life. If the person sees the glass as half full they look at things positively, if they see it as half empty they look at things negatively. The catch to this is there is a set amount of water and both answers are right it just identifies your perspective. Perspective is often used in films of all genres. This enhances the film and expresses many different feelings. When you see the inside of someone's head in cartoons or flashbacks in movies, that is perspective. In my film I have decided to take on the challenge of including perspective in my opening sequence. You will be able to hear what the main character is thinking. This will be difficult to portray but that’s why you study and learn the material you

Filming Techniques for my Music Video

Image
  During the filming of my music video I experience something totally different than with the last two projects. This filming process was organized into three different parts. It is because of the multiple settings that I separated it this way. The first section is the beginning of the video. In the beginning we start off in the park. These scenes weren’t too difficult to film. Except for some issues with lighting. I had to find a way to get a good angle and still have the background I want. This took some time. Also, since this is the first few scenes I was still figuring out how I wanted to do the filming. As far as setting up the camera. Since I am in the video this was especially hard. I found that a good solution would be using a stand, kind of like a tripod, and a timer. This allowed me to start the camera then get in place. I was contemplating whether to just make one long video and then separate it in the editing section. This would actually require more editing than to ju

Planning my Starburst commercial

Image
        For my Starburst commercial I will be using a variety of props. I will be using a pack of Starburst, a pack of Starburst minis, and a light box. Due to all the things going on in the world right now, my resources are limited. With this being said, I will be using prior knowledge to create my own light bow. This is very important because It brings attention to the item you want. I will also be using a box of some form to decorate. This will be the setting. During scenes it will be changed so that it can fit both settings. The box will consist of construction paper, grass, people like figures, and toy cars. My commercial will be filmed with a miniature world that is meant to look like the real world. One the candy is eaten it will transform into a parallel universe. Everyone knows that things don't always go as planned. Therefore you should always have a backup plan. My backup plan really differs from my first plan. In my backup plan a person is waiting patiently in their car
