Our Genre Decision Blog

On the topic of Thriller, we like that it has a wide range of use. Thriller is filled with built up suspense, and incorporates many different elements. However, an interference would include the time range in which we can film. Thriller is all our best fit and incorporates many elements. Including psychology, action, and crime. On the other hand, thriller is distinguished specifically, which may be confusing to Audiences.

The Mystery genre is filled with suspense. Our group would be interested in this because we feel like it would be fun to film. There are many interesting concepts thats our group could portray with pursing this genre. An inconvenience is that, our group does appropriate costuming to do this genre. Also, we feel like filming an opening with a mystery drama could be more tedious and time consuming.

The Romance genre is a love based. The storyline would be following two main characters as they navigate or create their relationship. Most movies within this genre do not start off with the two characters already together; the movie is normally always about them getting together and falling in love at the end. The love plot is hard to show within two minutes. Romance movies are believable when there’s chemistry between the characters. Chemistry would be lacking within the group because of the actors having their respective partners.

Under much consideration, we have chosen the Thriller genre. This genre is overall what we are looking for in filming this final task. We are well equipped for this genre and have ideas and research ready.

Short Film Research: Party to Murder

The mystery short film I watched was Party to Murder by Strobie Studios. The actors gathered together at this old style mansion to play a game of murder mystery while at a masked party. Will they play a harmless game or is the reality of death knocking on their front door? The director included a plot twist which is what ultimately made the short film a good watch. At the beginning of the film the director used upbeat music and close up angles of a couple dressed in fancy attire. The upbeat music explained the mood of the couple, as they were laughing and excited for their upcoming party. However as the car approached the home the music took a turn for the dark. The music began to speed up and the musical notes selection became very ominous. A big tactic used in mysteries especially murder mysteries in plot twists. Plot twists leave the audience highly surprised making it the best way to recapture a viewer's attention. Nobody wants to sit through a movie where every scene is easi...

Short vs. full length film research

BLOG 1: Comparing 9, the short film, and the full-length movie Hey Blogg, our group will be discussing the short version of the film "9" and the full-length version along with comparing both of them. Short film version: None of our group members had ever seen this movie and seeing it for the first time it was different, unlike something we had ever seen before. First off, there was no dialogue throughout the whole film. This causes us to pay even more attention to what was happening throughout the film to better understand what was going on. For this specific short film, the plot was less obvious and required higher thinking skills as all that is given are the scenes. We understood the plot at the nearing the end of the movie. Our interpretation of the plot was that in a desolate setting that looked like a landfill site, the film begins with scenes of 9 crafting objects from scrap metal. As the title screen fades, 9 is found sitting around the remnants of a broken w...

My Critical Reflection

Critical Reflection Link Critical Reflection A level Media Studies How do your products represent social groups or issues? My short film, Shattered Bonds, represents the major issue of mental health struggles that follow being left out in relationships and friendships, that so many people suffer from in the real world. The film highlights the idea that when you feel a sense of hurt in a relationship/friendship it can cause a mental trigger for coping mechanisms such as violence or self harm. Shattered bonds brings awareness to this through the plot. Throughout the film, there are scenes showing one of the teenage girls being left out of the group and feeling a sense of hurt in the fact that nobody is including her in their conversation or activities. These feelings of hurt then revolve into resentment in the film as they do in the real world. These feelings can lead to violence against others as well as self harm. In the film, the girl being left out resorts to killing the girl t...
