Genre Selection

Out of all the genres we learned about through the presentations during class, the two genres that stuck with me the best were the genres of Comedy and Action. The reasons why these two stuck with me the most would be that with Comedy, the creator gets to make not only the audience laugh but themselves as well and Action allows the creator to express the intensity of a scene in ways that make it feel unreal in comparison to real life. As for which genre I would be interested in filming a short for, I would probably lean more towards Action. My reason why would be that while I do enjoy both, Comedy is a difficult skill to master. The genre that I prefer overall however, I would say would be Comedy. I'm most likely drawn to Comedy the most as it's the one genre that most people can agree is enjoyable since most people do enjoy a good laugh. Comedy always seems to make me and others feel happy as if the humor is good then it makes the audience laugh and sometimes even, the humor can be so terrible that it makes you laugh. I think this choice would say that I enjoy making both myself and people around me laugh. There is no directors or writers in particular that I would try to emulate as personally I don't follow the works of any particular person and also that each person has their own sense of humor, making each person's take completely unique.

Investigation 5/10: My Brief Introduction To After Effects

Learning to use After Effects is something that I always planned on eventually doing. I still do intend on learning everything I would need to know about After Effects, but I have already experienced a brief introduction to using after effects. Background The reason that I started using After Effects was to create a meme. The meme that I wished to create my own interpretation of the video "Patrick on a seahorse listening to fly me to the moon". The original video is a modified version of the ending credit sequence of the anime  Neon Genesis Evangelion  in which the character Patrick Star of the children's television show Spongebob Squarepants  rides atop of a seahorse while the song Fly Me To The Moon  (originally sung by Frank Sinatra) plays in the background. After coming across this meme, I felt that I wanted to create my own version of it using a video that had previously been recorded. The problem that I encountered however, was that the video was not record...

Inglourious Basterds Review

What is a Spaghetti Western: Spaghetti Western is a sub-genre of the Western Genre which originally formed in the 1960's. Spaghetti Westerns are typically directed by an Italian with actors comprising of Germans, Italians, Spaniards, and Americans. Films that are considered to be apart of the Spaghetti Western sub-genre typically have less dialogue while focusing more on action. The action in the films are overly violent in comparison to other Western films which could cause censorship issues.  Why did Tarantino use this genre for a WWII Film: A possible reason as to why Tarantino chose Inglourious Basterds to be a Spaghetti Western rather than a war film could be for the film to be focused more of character interaction than the large scale violence seen in war films. In Inglourious Basterds, the audience does get to experience the second World War through the words and actions of real people rather than soldiers fighting in a war. Violence is still included at points...
