Genre Research: Drama

 The drama genre has many different aspects to it, including camera angles, different types of sounds, and editing. Some common camera angles for the drama genre include extreme close-ups to show a person's dramatic facial expressions and reactions. Another common angle is a POV shot to display how the character is feeling while the story is happening. A common sound used in the drama genre is a score. Another common sound would be a dialogue as it can discuss key moments. A specific dialogue that is used often in drama films is monologue usually when the antagonist talks for a while without pause. All of the clamps are used in drama often such as costumes and lighting which can tell a story without words solely based on design. Also, acting is a key part of drama films/shows as, without proper acting, drama is hard to portray. For editing, cross-cutting and split screen are common to portray multiple subjects and the story behind it all simultaneously. One popular example of a drama film would be The Shawshank Redemption. Another popular drama movie is The Godfather. One positive of the drama genre is storytelling. Drama films and shows tend to be packed with twists and turns to keep the viewer in suspense and craving more. Additionally, drama media tends to have a deeper and more developed story. For example, a drama show may introduce multiple characters with different motives to the plot. This leaves the viewer wondering what may come next and is a sign of a good genre. One negative part of the drama genre is that sometimes the story can come off as cheesy if the acting isn't done right. For example, the story may look bad if the acting doesn't match the same energy as the action being presented. Another unappealing thing from the genre is that it may take longer for the action to kick in as it focuses on building a story more. Overall, the drama genre often comes with a well-made story with an intriguing plot and believable and well-developed characters

Final Day of Filming for my Music Video

Image
On the second day of filming, I finished filming all of the storyboard panels for my music video. I have to say that it was not an easy task. I had a lot of time to myself, so I decided to use that time to actually finish everything, but it wasn't easy because it felt like a time crunch even though I was free to do whatever I wanted. There were still a lot of scenes to finish from where I had left off, and I had to refilm some of them because the clips were too blurry for the final product. I also recorded scenes that I would edit into the music video to give it more personality and easter eggs, which sort of fits the theme of my music video anyway. It was also difficult to change costumes because I play both characters and edit myself into it. It's a difficult task, but it's not impossible. But what I did was work on all of the scenes for the first subject and then change into costume to fit into the second subject; the only difficult part was that I might have had to swit...

The opening sequence has one title card that starts with the name of the movie, starting off from white to red   - What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?

Another thing that gets prioritized is the house such as the doors, the kitchen, the stove. - What connotations do these images carry? The phone shows a mysterious voice that keeps on dialing her. The stranger continuously asks odd questions that begin to get intimidating. The movie uses the phone as a way to scare the viewer as the ringing continues.

 For my Commerical Project, I will work alone. I think its the best way to go for me because I'm not really trusting of other people because I have no actual clue if they'll do the work or not and in the past I've had lots of issues with people not completing what they're supposed to be doing even with my friends. I can't really rely on others so that's why I'm holding full responsibility for this project. Working alone isn't terrible either, on the bright side I won't have to nudge people into doing their work until they get annoyed with me because I hate being a bother to others as well. Being independent also means this project will be my own unique thoughts without interference. I like working out ideas by myself although critique is necessary I want this project to be my own authentic piece and my own authentic ideas. Having other people's ideas doesn't really make this my own and I may not like what others come up with so I trust myself...
