Genre Research: Thriller

The first genre that I will be researching is thriller. Thriller is one of my favorite genres to watch when it comes to films. The thriller genre, suspense, tension, and excitement are characteristics of the thriller genre of film. Thriller films frequently have a fast-moving storyline with a manner of danger or intensity because the main character is put in a risky circumstance or must overcome a difficult obstacle in a short quantity of time. Mental thrillers, lawful thrillers, espionage thrillers, action thrillers, and other subgenres are all examples of thrillers. They frequently contain storyline cliffhangers and unexpected events that maintain the audience or viewer guessing about what will occur next. I personally like the suspension aspect of a movie it makes me want to watch the film must more even as it progresses. Some of the main points that are focused on in this research are the in depth meaning of what a thriller is. Also common camera angles, mise-en-scene, sound, editing, and movies that are popular now that use this genre. 

What elements of thriller do I enjoy?
- I personally love editing that they use, the use of parallel editing to generate tension for the viewer. Switching from scene to scene to show two actions happening at once in order to increase the suspense and tension. I also love the different camera angles they use to keep the viewer captivated and very intrigued by what is going on. I like almost all of the elements of a thriller that are included in my research below. 
 
What elements of thriller do I not enjoy?
- I personally hate the element of low light in the thriller genre. Though I do understand the use of it. I feel in many films they tend to make the lighter much too low, I like to be able to see exactly what is going on. Though in order to create tension in the viewer this is added, and makes complete sense.

Research: How to make a short film

Image
I learned more about how to create my own film by watching this video, "How to Make a Short Film."  Even though I had some prior experience making films, this video provided additional advice that will be useful to me as I continue to make short films.  In this video, a film specialist offers post-production as well as production advice.  I found two particularly noteworthy production tips: play with the audience's feelings and minds, and avoid it if you can't.  The advice to "don't do it if you can't pull it off" truly caught my attention.  The movie expert says that you shouldn't try to do something for the movie that you can't do perfectly. Incorporating unfinished content will only make your short film less accurate.  It will look less cool than it will if you add this awesome scene or feature to your movie, despite your belief that it will.  I will consider what I can and cannot accomplish with the resources I have when creating my story...

Genre Research: Drama

The second genre of film that I will be researching is drama. Drama has to be another one of my favorite genres of film because of that same aspect of suspense. A drama is a dramatic story about human struggle and feelings are included in the broad category of drama in film. Dramas frequently feature believable characters in normal circumstances while examining topics of connections, individuality, and personal development. The aim of the drama genre is to evoke empathy and thought-provoking perspectives from the audience by giving the viewer an understanding of feelings depth and relation with the characters. Dramas can be divided into a variety of sub genres, including historical drama, family drama, romantic drama, crime drama, and more. These motion pictures frequently have complicated characters and subtle plot lines, and they can be severe, heartwarming, or thought-provoking. Some of the main points that are focused on in this research of mine are the in depth meaning of what...

After these titles are shown a list with actors that are in the movie begins to be displayed.  2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?  This opening sequence contains one shot being prioritized throughout the entire sequence. The video in the background is of many women dancing together. They are all wearing the same costumes and also wearing the same wigs. As well as the same makeup containing a red lip.  3. What connotations do these images carry?  The images carry a connotation of exciting but also ominous in a way. There are many scenes wh...
