Genre Choice for Film

     


    


Our short film could fall in many different genres. However, the genre we chose for our short film is drama. The three genres were action, drama, and horror that we were researched. The drama genre was the most accurate genre to describe our short film. Our short film is about a mother being verbally abusive which means a lot of shouting, bullying, and loud noises going on. 

    These are some of the many things that contribute to the drama genre according to our research. The inspiration for our decision is quite simple and obvious. Our inspiration for choosing this genre was our research. We compared all the elements and analyzed all the elements within the genres. Then, we compared that to the elements of our short film and saw the drama genre was the best fit. 

    From the process of researching all three to just choosing one was a learning experience. It shows how much in common film genres have and what sets them so differently from each other. We believe our pitch needs no tweaking at this time. The picture is a verbal abusive relationship with a mother and daughter. This pitch is very vague so we can always tweak it along the way if we have to. 

    However, our pitch is perfect for right now. We both are very interested with our pitch and both have an understanding of this pitch. We like the genre our short film falls in. This is because we are both familiar with this genre. Most importantly, the other genres like horror barely applies to our film which is why the choice of picking the genre it falls in was easy to conclude.

Planning: Storyboard "Dear Mother"

A dysfunctional mother-daughter relationship is the subject of our short film. The first shot of the first scene is of the outside of a house, which sets the tone for Roxy and Ms. Jackie's home. The shot then moves on to the interior of the house. Roxy is shouted at by her mother about housework in the next scene, which is more focused on the performers' relationships. There is a close-up of food on the floor, which Roxy must clean up as part of her tasks. This scene shows her and her mother going back and forth. Her mother then goes to the bathroom in the next scene. Roxy receives a phone call from a friend, prompting Roxy to see her pal.

Short Film Research: ( Migrants/ Drama)

       This short film was 8 minutes long and the plot was pretty easy to figure out basically there were polar bears being pushed out of their home lands due to global warming and exiled from brown bear territory being left to fend for themselves on the ocean. In the beginning of the short there was a climax point where the baby polar bear fell of the ice and into the water from the ice breaking and the mother jumps after the baby. This was a great way to start the film it immediately introduce the drama factor that a film should have lots of heart racing and anticipating moments. There was a conflict with the polar bears and the brown bears over food and the was another great way to help deliver a message. Although it is animated the film didn't use and real dialogue just animal noises such as grunts and snorts and well as instrumental music in the background.     It reminds me of how lonely many of us are. It can be interpreted as a political manifesto, ...

Introduction to the Music Video Project

 So today I started my music video project I have officially decided on whether or not I wanted to work with anyone and who I would be working with. I had a hard time since I get nervous working in group especially when I don’t know anyone really. However I managed to find a group. I decided to work with three other girls. Rohanna, Nishayla, and Idline. I knew them since middle school and got lucky when I found out we all had the same class so I was able to successfully see to it that I got a comfortable group to efficiently get the work done.  I choose to actually work in a group rather than by myself because I know me doing it alone would be very overwhelming. I have been struggling lately and falling behind on a lot. So having someone around to keep me motivated and help give me ideas on how to participate daily and move to be productive in my work was an essential part in making sure I progress in this class. US History is a hassle with all the hand written work the teache...
