genre research sci-fi

In this blog, I will be telling you about the research I have conducted on the genre sci-fi. I will be explaining the C.A.M.S first. The C (Camera angles) consist of two shot, low angle, mid-shot, aerial shot. Next up is movement and shots and these are track, zoom, tilt, long shot. Common edits are action match, eyeliner match,fade in, fade out. Finally sounds used in a sci-fi movie are diegetic sound, non-diegetic sound, dialogue, and voice over. The next acronym we will be discussing is C.L.A.M.P.S. This stands for costumes, lighting, acting, makeup, props, and setting. In sci-fi movies, t is a very wide range of costumes depending on the character. All in one movie there can be regular dressed people, superheroes, aliens, nd literally anything you could ever imagine. Lighting is also something that can have a very wide range. This can very easily go from led lights in a studio to the sun when filming outside. The acting in sci-fi movies is very over the top. They do and say things that you most likely wouldn't see in other type of movie. Like when would you ever here someone screaming there's a giant alien trying to eat them! Makeup is my favorite part of sci-fi movies. Unlike other movies you can get so creative with the makeup, Face painting gory makeup all the works then it can also be as simple as just regular everyday makeup. Some props that are commonly seen in these movies are cars, spaceships,swoards,weapons, and supernatural powers. Lastly some settings from these movies can be on different planets, space, inside and outside buildings, in the air, underground basically anywhere. The things I like about sci-fi is that it can be so many different things. Theres no limit to your imagination and you can make up the craziest ideas. But this is also something I don't like because you can do so many things it can be hard to make an original movie when so many have been done.

 .Example films of sci-fi-the new mutant, the invisable man, dune.

                                                                                                                             

   

genre research drama

The last genre i will be researching will be drama. Drama is a very weird genre. The way the movie is scripted and filmed can either make it or break it which is why not every drama movie is a home run. You know what time it is let's get through those C.A.M.S! A very common angle to film from is full body and eye level. This keeps the attention on the main characters and not the background. Some movements and shots used are a long shot, over the shoulder, two shot, three-shot, mid-shot, and close up. The editing for drama is action match, jump cut, split-screen. finally, for C.A.M.S, the sounds used are dietetic sound, non-diegetic sound, voice-over, and dialogue. Now let's get on with the C.L.A.M.P.S. .Costumes are something that really depends on the setting of the drama movies. For example, if it was about a highschool girl, they would be wearing uniforms or dress code-appropriate stuff. But if the setting was at a workplace it would be professional wear.There's a lot of crying and fighting in drama movies. There's also a lot of mushy-gushy love.The makeup in the drama is very minimal unless it has to do with maybe a bruised eye from a fight scene or a bloody nose. Some very common props in these movies are cars and phones. Although almost anything can be used as a prop in a drama movie. Drama movies typically take place in schools like highschool or in colleges. But movies with older cast members can take place at a workplace or a home. For me as I said before drama is a very make it or break it genre. What I like about drama is how much emotion goes into them and how some people can relate to the situations that are happening in them. This makes it great for someone to connect and engage with a character. The things I don't like about some drama movies are how they can be too emotional. Sometimes there's just too many tears and the audience can get really bored or overwhelmed with how much emotion there is.

godfather,titanic, lord of the rings.

 

genres i would like to research!

  Today I will be telling you about the three genres I would like to research. I will research drama, sci-fi,and action. I will be researching these genres to find out how my short film should be labeled. 

PITCH BLOG

 Hey everyone its stephanie. Today is the official start of the project. Stephanie and I have been coming up with ideas for a couple days. We have combined our ideas and we came to a conclusion that the main genre of our short film is going to be a drama. Also, we concluded that I will present to you in this blog. We did some research on the drama, to know what elements to include. After that we let our creativity flow. Also, some action  Our pitch is: 

• A nosy reporter discovers the secret to immortality, but a battle occurs when the government wants to keep it a secret and things get messy.

Audience and Institution Practice Essay.

Question: How does funding impact media products?

          For my essay I will be discussing the impact of funding on media products.                                     Many popular movies made recently consist of huge budgets and big-time movie actors. Most of the time millions of dollars go into making the movies. But the spending isn’t just for the production or the actors it is also for promoting the movie. Whether a movie does good or not all depends on the budget provided by the companies.

      I would like to start this paragraph of- by analyzing the movie fast and furious 7. It was made by Universal Pictures in 2014.This movie was given a budget of 190 million USD .They made merchandise such as T shirts, water bottles, hats and posters. The main characters in the movies were also put on vibe magazine. Which not only promoting the movie but also promoted the actors. There was even a video game made for the movie. Paul Walker had died in the making of the movie so they had to use expensive CGI effects so they could finish the movie with out him. Without the budget that they had they might have not been able to finish the movie because of the fact that Paul Walker had died .But because they had such a large budget and could spend money on expensive CGI effects they were able to continue the process of making the movie without the late Paul Walker . The movie ended up having a gross revenue of 1.5 billion US dollars.

     For my second example I would like to bring up the movie Spiderman homecoming. This movie was distributed by Sony Pictures and produced by Columbia pictures and Marvel Studios. The budget for Spiderman homecoming was 175 million US dollars. The movie had cross productions such as selling toys At Target and even coming out with the soundtrack. They put the movies on kids cereal boxes like cinnamon toast crunch and also had posters and merchandise distributed .Because humans can't actually fly a lot of money went in to making the effects of Spiderman jumping from building to building. Without the money this film would not be as realistic as it was and not as highly anticipated from promotion while bringing 808 million dollars in gross revenue.

   My third example will be Jurassic World. This movie was distributed by Universal Studios In 2015. The budget for this movie was 150 million US dollars. They use this money to make the dinosaurs realistic and create a better movie. They distributed promotion for the movie through posters video games and toys like legos. They even had snacks promoting the movie like Mike and ikes and their very own Blizzard flavor at Dairy Queen. Because of the budget they received they were able to win an awards in 2015 for visual effects of the year. Jurassic World became the third largest grossing movie of all time with making 1.6 these Seven billion US dollars in the box office .

  My final example will be beauty and the beast produced by Walt Disney pictures on March 17th 2017. They were given a budget of 20,000,000 US dollars for the first beauty and the beast movie ever made. The 2017 beauty and the beast movie was given a budget of 254 million dollars making it the most expensive musical to ever be produced . They promoted this movie by making posters, dolls , costumes, ornaments , T shirts , stickers , jewelry. this movie ended up bringing 1.26 billion dollars back into the pockets of the producers .

    In conclusion funding of a movie can be the determining factor of how well the movie does. When there is a lot of money put into a movie for the actors, actresses, CGI effects, and voice actors the movies tend to do better in the market. The Film industry is tough and without the right budget a movie can really flop. In the end movies that have more money do better and movie that have a smaller budget do worse. Lastly, this is why funding has such a big impact on media products.
