Genre Research ( Drama)

 

Common lighting- three-point lighting, high-key lighting, back lighting, and low key lighting 

Common camera Angles- low angle, high angle, & canted (dutch) angle 
Common camera movements- dolly, pan, tilt, zoom & reverse zoom 
In Mis-en-scene - there are lots of makeup, props, costumes, and setting changes 
Elements include- plot (climax/tension), characters, thoughts, diction in scripting, sound/music choice, and cinematography/editing
Example films include- Five feet Apart, dream girls, Harriet, and queen & slim.
Common sound- Dietetic and non-dietetic sound , dialogue, soundtracks, and voice overs 
Liked elements: Soundtrack/music choice, diction as well as lighting choices 
Disliked elements: the plot established for most drama films feel incomplete and unfinished and if not done properly the characters theatrics can be over done. 

Drama, I believe, improves my artistic and creative ability while also providing me with a greater awareness of myself and the world. Drama promotes abilities in interpreting, investigating, bargaining, problem solving, and decision making, as well as personal control, confidence, and teamwork. Drama, in my opinion, is important because it expresses the desire for social change, communicates a common theme, and recreates and interprets information, ideas, and emotions.

Production blog: Multiple Exposure discovery

    So its been a while since the last update and things haven't gotten very far but there are some positives that have happened. We were able to pick a location that satisfied most of our needs with out the hassle of needing permission to film and be on park grounds. We thought to see if we could find more actors but it was harder than expected. Seeing as everyone would have to have their own transportation and our filming would have to fit into someone else schedule. This made it harder on us but we kept searching.       So we had someone but the plans ended up changing when that person was no longer available. We understood that sometimes circumstances change. So, now we are all just planning a day to set up and film. This consist of making sure we have the camera set and all phones charged. Also having battery packs for the camera ready.       We definitely can't forget mask for covid-19 protection. An lastly, its key to having a fir...

Commercial Blog: Nike Vs. Under Amour Grand Finale

 I thought I would be fine using the Nikkon D3200 camera as this laptop has an SD card slot but the problem I had was that my SD card didn't fit in the slot. During my editing is when I realize that I have another clothing brand appearing in the finished ad. So I took the opportunity the next day to tweak the film so that it finally shows the images of both brands in one to let others know that this is a collaborative promotion. The reason is that it allows a certain message to be shown in the ad. So from my imagination I was able to sum up a few last-minute moments and since one of the actors doesn't own anything from the Nike brand I made a little tweak to allow two different brands to co-exist in my ad.       The two brands I choose are Nike and Under Amour. I would leave it alone if I don't see the logo but I can recognize it on one of my actor's shirts while editing. I plan to dub or add music to the ad to make it fun while the ad continues. Each actor put ...

Romance is defined by intimate relationships. In some cases, there may be a twist but at the end the main point in films is about the pursuit of love. Romance is not only its own genre but can also be seen in other genres such as thriller, Comedy, Drama, etc. Common lighting usually seen in romance includes high key lighting in which makes the seen more cheerful due to the brightness and warm colored lighting to create an inviting and mellow mood.
