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 3/1: The Tools Of Camera Stability

One of the most important aspects of cinematography that goes commonly unnoticed is having the camera steady. Even a slight amount of movement within a shot can pull the audience away from the film, so it is important to attempt to have shots. There are multiple different ways that you can use to stabilize your camera, some of which are more effective than others. Tripod Using a tripod is the easiest way to stabilize the camera while filming. By having three points of contact with the ground, a tripod keeps the camera extremely stable. The camera would likely only move due to very large movements on the ground or strong winds. The one downside to using a tripod is that it has to remain stationary. If the required shot involves moving around, a tripod can likely not be used. Overall, the tripod is the easiest, simplest, and cheapest way to keep your camera steady.

MP3 Film Post-Production

Finally, after weeks of delays and busy schedules, I have completed the Post-Production stage of my film for the third marking period. Here are my thoughts on how things went. Starting Over While I did get some filming done during the appropriate stage of the production cycle back during the third marking period, by the time I got back around to finishing the film, I didn't like the footage that I had. Luckily, this footage was just the introduction and would easily be replaced due to the new direction that I planned on taking the film during my time working on it. The original story that I had set out for the film was set aside as it involved multiple actors which I knew I wouldn't be able to swing in such a short amount of time. Luckily, I was able to keep the concept on the film intact and managed to produce a shortened, adjusted version of the idea that I had. Final Thoughts Overall, I like what I was able to throw together. I think that the concept is portrayed well which ...

Investigation 4/19: Feature Length Or Series; Which Better Fits Your Story?

Feature length films and television series are both different outlets that a filmmaker is able to use to express their stories. The lengths of both formats have their own strengths and weaknesses for a filmmaker to be aware of. I have done some investigating in order to compare both formats in order to determine which to consider writing for. Series Writing a story as a television or streaming series allows for longer and more detailed stories to be told. An episode of a series will usually be anywhere from thirty to sixty minutes long. While at first this limited amount of time may seem like a hindrance, splitting your story into multiple episodes allows for more time overall to go into detail and tell your story. An example that I have observed of shorter episodes benefiting storytelling can be seen in the differences between the fourth season of the anime series  Jojo's Bizarre Adventure  and its film adaptation Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable Chapter...
