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 a drama is. Dramas can be so intriguing and push you to want to watch more. I feel that is one of their best elements. Also common camera angles, mise-en-scene, sound, editing, and movies that are popular now that use this genre. 

What elements of the drama genre do I enjoy?
- I enjoy the sound elements that are used in the drama genre. The use of music to elevate the suspense of a movie. I also like the use of editing. Cross-cutting, which involves switching back and forth between two or more scenes, is frequently used to increase tension or suspense. Jump cut's, a type of editing that involves removing some frames from a single shot to produce a startling or disconcerting influence. 

What elements of the drama genre do I not enjoy?
- I also hate the element of low light in the drama genre like in the thriller genre. Again I completely understand the use of it in order to create suspense. Though I do believe it does make my viewing experience a little worse in some scenarios. I feel I am not able to see everything I should when in extremely dark films.

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...

Title Research: Don’t Worry Darling

Image
1. What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?  The first opening sequence that I researched was "Don't Worry Darling." The sequence begins off by displaying titles for the directors, screen writers, story writers, producers, director of photography, production designer, editors, music composer and conductor, visual effects supervisor, music supervisor, costume designer, and cast directors. 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...
