Short Film Research: Step Back/ Drama

 a. Common Sound in your genre 

Distorted (non diegetic sounds) when being dramatized for bad events 

b. Common Mis-En-Scene (CLAMPS) in your genre 

The costumes are casual for out scenes and actors wear Uniforms for school scenes 

In this short film dark lighting was used for the dark characters (the one the  

the director did not want the audience to like nor relate to) while light lighting was used for  

The characters had good intentions. 

The props in this short film was represented based on the different accomplishments  

For example Trophies vs stolen shoe. As the film progressed props associated with 

 better accomplishments were shown more significance the character's development 

c. Common Editing in your genre 

Cutaway to show the character flashbacks and to travel in time 

d. Example films of your genre 

-vincenzo  

-bones  

-castle 

- blood and water 

e. What elements of the genre that you like? 

An element in the short film I , liked was the use of going back in time with the cutaway editing 

 while adding the year, this heightens the suspense, therefore, dramatizing it. Essentially this 

 Would lead up to the theme of the short film of second chances in life. 

f. What elements of the genre do not appeal to you? 

Even though i did like the travel back in time, this did confuse me. Because of this reason  

I will not like to incorporate this element in my short film, as i do not want to confuse my 

Audience.

       For the second project we were assigned I decided to work in a group. My group consists of Jorge Lopez, and Christian Bundalevski. I typically like working in group settings because I feel like the different perspectives help provide a better final product. Obviously, I have had group projects in the past that were not so stellar experiences but I feel as if this project will go much more smoothly. Being able to choose groups is very nice as opposed to the teacher deciding.  Jorge Lopez, I have known for many years. We first became friends in the 5th grade and stayed friends all throughout middle school. We ended up going to the same high school together and spent much of last year in discord calls together along with another friend, but that is a story for another day. I have done projects with Jorge in the past and he is very good at coming up with creative ideas. He is also very funny but not overly distracting in a group setting.  Now Christian I have also known for years. W

Editing: Experimentation

       Today was the second day we had in class to edit out commercials together. We began by having Rashawn show us what he had so far. He ended up transferring our work to Adobe Premeair cut Pro so we got to see that program too.    We then began to tinker with the lighting a little bit and ended up settling with more lighting than before. We also experimented with different sounds or music clips but we ended up staying with what we had before.    While watching Rashawn edit we all became curious about how the program he uses worked. I am learning a bit of adobe due to my marketing essentials but only the photoshop aspect. I know next to nothing of Premiere Cut Pro. So Rashawn came up with a proposal. He decided to make us a copy file and we each fiddled around with the software a little bit which was quite fun.    We used the lighting options to put a black and white box over our faces and watched some clips play by, that feature was my personal favorite. We also speed up and slowed
