Genre Research: action

 Common Camera Angles in action (CAMS): 

  • low angle shots. This type of shot will mean that that the audience is always looking up towards the powerful figures and so will establish the power dynamic
  • the vulnerability of the victims can be accentuated through the use of high angled shots

Common Mis-En-Scene in action (CLAMPS): 

  • lighting:lowkey lighting to get the nature of the film 
  • makeup: used to make it look more realistic 
  • props: these props used make up the action film, without them it wouldn't be a action genre. 

Common Editing in action: 

  • Cut to actors’ faces to remind us of the human factor
  • cut on the movement to add energy and momentum 
  • establish and preserve the geography of the space

Common Sound in action:

  • human voices
  • music 
  • sound effect
  • These three types of sounds are crucial for a film to feel realistic for the audience. 

Example Films of the action Genre: 

  • hard boiled 
  • mad max 2
  • aliens
I enjoy the elements of special affects and stunt work. I think the special affects are what tip the acton movies over the edge of greatness. They add so much spice. i also love the stunt work because it makes the actors seem so much cooler and the characters when watching the movie.

i don't necessarily love the explosions. I think explosions are too much and overall unnecessary. They already are having fights and guns being thrown around so why do we need to add a bright loud explosion to go with it.

My perspective of the editing

Image
 As we know from last project and this one, onara is the editor and camera woman while i’m the actor and idea person. With our final task coming up we have both realized that i’m going to need to learn editing. This is because the video will be longer than anyone we’ve ever done, which will make it trickier for onara to edit. Longer clips to edit, longer clips to film, transition etc. So i decided that i would be with onara while she edits this time. This is so in the future i know how to help her and i can learn by watching her. What we did is for the first part of editing which was cutting the scenes. Basically just cutting the scenes to be shorter so we didn’t take as much time in the video. This was easily done on the iPhone just by clicking edit on the camera app. Then she started putting the clips together. She put the clips together with an app called cap cut. I downloaded it myself so i can work on editing videos together in my camera roll. After that she added the sound to...

  I chose onara to work with for many reasons. The first reason is i see her almost everyday afterschool for volleyball. So i would be able to shoot with her after volleyball or before outside of school. Secondly, Our parents are friends. They trust that we will be both safe in either of there hands. If i had a partner whos family i didn't know, my parents wouldn't be to comfortable leaving me in their care. Another reason why i chose her is because she's good at finding the needed and correct research. If we need to find something ASAP she is able to quickly find it. She also is a good value to the project because she knows how to shoot. What i mean is she knows how to recognize angles and shoot them clearly. What i can bring to the table is resources. We have already thought about our commercial and what we were thinking i can provide the resources we need for it. Such as the props needed and the transport needed to go where we need for shooting. I also am an idea creator...
