 DRAMA

CAMS

  • characters wore regular everyday clothing and occasionally sportswear


  1. Common editing

  1. Example films - Phone box, North Atlantic, About a girl

  2. What elements did I like - I like the transition element of the film, the flashbacks were cohesive with one another, it told a full story instead of a piece of the story, and it went with the overall theme of the film.

  3. What elements did I not like - I didn’t like how some of the camera shots were taken in flashback scenes, for example, the low angle was shaky, which made the scene hard to focus on

production: friends review

Image
 We worked together to create the movie and then showed it to a buddy to receive some feedback. We sought an outsider's viewpoint on the movie, someone who wasn't engaged in its creation. We had confidence that our friends would be forthright with us and express their true opinions. I was a little anxious as we sat down to see the movie with our friend. Even though the same buddy saw my video the year before, I often get anxious in circumstances like these. I had high hopes for the project because we had put a lot of effort into it. While we waited for our friends, we all sat on the couch and watched the movie on the TV. Our acquaintance sat in quiet for a short while after the movie concluded as they contemplated what they had just seen. They finally turned to us and began to express their ideas. They were candid yet helpful, highlighting both the movie's advantages and disadvantages. Our acquaintance thought certain sections were nicely done and truly loved them, but they...

Genre Research: It Chapter 2

Image
  Genre research (It Chapter 2) Camera Angles (CAMS) - I noticed in the movie that there is a frequent amount of low angles, eye levels, extreme close-ups, high angles, and tracking shots. These angles and shots were used to either show the reactions on the character's face, make the character feel like it's being followed or watched, create dramatic tensions or emphasize how scary the villain is. Mis-en-scene (CLAMPS) - The costumes of the characters were realistic, casual outfits for the protagonists and an old, torn, and dirty outfit for the intended character of the antagonist.  The lighting depended on where the scenes were being shot. For example, in a tunnel when confronting the antagonist it’s usually quite dark or dim, just enough to still the characters, engaging the audience and showing the antagonist emerge from the darkness into the light to seem horrifying, flashing lights in battles. The acting was very dramatic, the characters were always in constant fear or pa...
