 L/O: to plan and construct an effective green screen scene 

7/02/23

i think the future of special effects will get greater in time where there will be more detailed editing apps that people will most likely access on their phones and CGI will become more detailed and even more realistic ( maybe to the point it looks like its practically in front of you  )  it will only go forward as time progresses 👍

trailers & genre

 12/01/23

L/O:to explore the different features of iMovie & experiment with different genre features 

the trailer i have chosen is Frozen 1 and the genre is action adventure also disney which is made for little kids , i am going  to change it into a horror trailer 

what i did: i changed the genre of frozen to a horror movie , i did it by adding the more intense scenes into an order and had dramatic music along it , i included some characters speaking about the situation of the ice which added more intensity  and included the monsters and more action like scenes at the end . 

www: arranged my clips into a good order 

EBI: added more effects and texts . 

SFX 

L:O/ to create a realistic green screened clip using I movie 

 . CGI (computer-generated imagery) is the creation of still or animated visual content with imaging software.

 .  WHAT IS INCLUDED UNDER SPECIAL EFFECTS : This includes the use of mechanised props, scenery, scale models, animatronics, pyrotechnics and atmospheric effects: creating physical wind, rain, fog, snow, clouds, making a car appear to drive by itself and blowing up a building, etc. Mechanical effects are also often incorporated into set design and makeup.

jurassic park : action adventure , came out earlier this year 

main characters: Owen Grady , Claire and their daughter Maisie Lockwood Four years after the destruction of Isla Nublar, dinosaurs now live and hunt alongside humans all over the world.

L/O:to explore the concept of film genre 

do now:  

horror, action , fantasy, adventure , sci-fi ,  dystopian?,  utopia ,  festive / christmas , comedy ,romance , thriller , drama , documentary , crime , western , historical , musicals ,  romantic comedy ( hybrid), social realism , biopic ( about a certain person ) period drama ( historical)

genre : a style , especially in the arts,that involves a particular set of characteristics

hybrid: mixture of two or more genres 

sub-genres : categories a genre can be divided into for example in horror there would be gore  , killer , monster , paranormal

comedy 

jumanji  , shazam , deadpool , the lego movie , nativity ,  ride along , grown ups , yes day , free guy , minions 

superhero:  shazam , deadpool 

action : minions ,  the lego movie , free guy , 

adventure : jumanji , nativity , yes day , minions 

 research task 

1.The comedy genre humorously exaggerates the situation, the language, action, and characters.

2 

• Paul Feig. CNET.
• Billy Wilder. United Artists. ...
• Wes Anderson. Touchstone / Everett Collection 
• 3. three actors famous  for comedy movies would be Adam Sandler , Will Ferrell and Eddie Murphy 
• 4.
• 

5  . ted - You can see that he and the man is laughing which can connote that its funny , another thing would be the fact that he is a walking talking teddy bear .

good boys - The boys seem to be quite young and look as if they have been involved with something hence why they look all messed up and dirty .

hotel Transylvania -  maturity of people would guess that this is comedy as it seems to be for kids and its a animated movie with monsters but they don't look scary in anyway  so it just seems to be a comedy .

.

6. A genre that most teenagers would prefer would have to be rather romance , horror or social realism . With romance it would be because a lot of teens would like a boyfriend/girlfriend so they would preferably watch it to just have a sense of what its like ( not to sure ) . Horror because , a lot of teens like a good horror  and like to watch it to keep them entertained throughout the day . Social realism because teens would possibly be going through something and need shows like this to know that it happens to others and use it to help with problems as specific characters could relate to their problems 

7. the top five ingredients to make up comedy would have to be , crime as it adds a lot of laughs , something embarrassing happening to the character adds awkwardness   . the characters doing an activity that is dangerous ( the main event that changes something ) it would still add some suspense but would be funnier as they would be screaming , crying , laughing ....

L/O: to implement genre codes and conventions 

trailers - elf(2003) , a christmas Karen , peter Rabbit 2 , kung fu panda 2 , Madagascar 3  - I've noticed in comedy movie the character /s have to over come  a mission but struggles along the way due to their smartness . animals seem to act like humans and the humans act like little kids like in elf and there is a use of swear words or PG swear words .     the character/s seem to act very chilled out in serious situations and the animals in dreamwork movies act weird to human like activities like when a pillow exploded the penguin thought it was made of little penguins . they also tend to get them selves in a lot of action like activities . there is serious music played during the action scenes but the character/s doesn't react but gets very stupid when acting serious

recipe of a horror movie 

ingredients :

main character/s

a thing that causes them to go on a mission for like , a dad , specific item 

a maturity of a 5 year old 

a use of swear words or PG swear words 

really serious friends or silly friends 

 a range of activities to overcome 

method :

1)take the main character and his friends living a regular life doing whatever 

2)add a bit of swear words and silly things through out this method (little sprinkles every then and now )

3)add a aim that the character/s have to overcome 

4)season with some struggling through out  and a bit of comedy , laughter someone falling ....

then serve with a portion of dramatic music , pauses and fast scenes with a lot of action

do now ( film poster analysis )

action filmposter 

action film poster analysis

a lot of action film poster include the main characters standing with a full body shot or it shows half 

normally it includes a contrast of bright colours in the background which relates to the movie 

 less important characters seem to be smaller in the poster and ones that affect the movie  the most tend to be bigger 

 

the title goes along with the colour scheme like red , yellow , black 

 release dates are normally at the bottom mainly with marvel they have their logo above the title and focus more detail into the characters 

1/12/22

do now : genre 

tron: sci-fi  as it looks more futuristic and the characters seem to be wearing odd looking backpacks (that could possibly be hinting to sci-fi) setting also looks futuristic 

judgement of paris : action , it seem to have a lot of fire in the background and the character looks as if he has been in a fight - the font is also a dirty messed up style 

pans labyrinth :horror or adventure or fantasy - it has a contrast of dark blues and blacks but the girl in front of the very odd looking arch suggests that she could be on an adventure  to find something

Photoshop Skills Task

03/11/22

lo: to use and develop creative techniques in photoshop 

. a lot of horror movies tend to have one main person standing in front doing an action that can link to the movie for example with smile she's smiling , also it can contain little hints to share what is to happen in the movie (pooh has an axe & the boy has something in his eye) 

. the shot is normally a close up of their face or body .

. there is a date , director and actor name  and the title will mostly be at the bottom 

. people can link that the person on the posters are rather the main focus or the haunting person(the killer,ghost ...) 

. with the font it is mainly red or white so standing out colours to gain the viewers attention and the colour  scheme tends to be rather dark colours or constantly red and black as people can get a hint of the genre as its creepy dark spooky like 

. most posters tend to have a normal background to show the setting like the boy has a house and the others have something that relates to the movie .

my horror poster 

  name of poster - aftermath 

poster details - background of a destroyed building big bold title and information at the bottom ... ???

colour scheme - black white red blue ( mainly a contrast of dark colours )

 

editing - needs to be detailed but also simple so it doesn't give away a lot , so like the genre main character 

 its a video game like horror movie but things start to turn a bit to realistic 

font -

 - film poster
