Genres We Would Like to Research


     There are three genres we would like to do some research on before moving forward. Action, horror and drama. The reason for me choosing these is because we definitely have a feel of one of these types of genres being what category we set our short film to fall under. We know more about the other genres and saw these types as expanding my ind in the world of genres. We typically stick to romance and comedy kind of movies.
     So, We made sure to do something out of our comfort zone and try to do something a little non traditional. We feel as though this is going to be worth it and that we may find something we truly like for the idea of my film this year. Hopefully these genres turn out to be the perfect kind for our film. We will use these to help me make a decision later on but this research will definitely be a good mind opener for future references. It should also make for good examples to go off of when its time to find inspiration that suits our chosen genre.
    We still have a little information on filming from the past research I had done. However, now ill be going further in depth to ensure this years project turns out much better than last years. This will have more elements of of my genre and this research should help ensure we were using the right tools and techniques. I wasn't very big on Mis-en_scene last year as well so this year this research should also help us use more enthusiastic costumes, lighting and more. Doing more research on these genres will definitely help me gain a stronger knowledge based foundation for what we want. 
    We would be able to build a stronger plot and grasp the attention of the audience with the right skills and understanding of the preferred genres. Knowing more on these genres will also help me determine the style my script will be written in. This will also help me find and build a purpose for writing the film and scripting it the way that we will. This research helps me plan and get into place everything that we will need for the future task to come for this film. We just need a stronger knowledge base to make sure things run smoothly once the final decision is made.

 In this music video, we will be portraying a message about how suicide and other harmful things to yourself can be prevented. This stems from people getting bullied, being left out, or physical & emotional abuse. In this circumstance, we will be focusing on someone who is going through a rough patch in their life, and how it ultimately changes for the better. Hip hop music generally focuses on the teen bracket, and most people starting from ages of adolescence to their teen years experience suicidal thoughts and acts of self harm. The use of Mis En Scene plays an important role in these types of music videos, because it portrays the theme of the video, coinciding with its lyrics.  The lyrics display a strong message to the audience and urges a call to action.
