Production Blog - Costumes

 

A common mis-en-scene for the genre action is costumes and makeup. Costumes play a major role because with makeup it can transform someone into someone or something totally different. It can bring the character to life. The costume can help set the setting. The two majority costumes that will be used will be basketball jerseys. The commentators will be dressed in suit like outfits. And throughout the film, the camera will cut between each character and their parts. To find these jerseys I will go to Walmart, thrift stores etc. to find the right ones. When I find the right ones it will be great. My commentators already have their outfits ready. I want to and will try to add in another actor. This actor will play as the referee. Their costume will be black pants and a white and black checkered shirt. I don't know where I am going to find a shirt. But Dick's sporting goods sounds like the place to start. If not I may order it online from amazon. These common elements will help the audience get a feel of which genre is taking place. Without these elements the film will not come together as a whole. And it will ruin the the genre I was going for... Action.

Research blog: Music Video Conventions

I am doing a one minute music video to the song You've got a friend in me by Randy Newman. As stated in my introduction this is the theme song to the movie Toy Story. The audience that would be most interested in this commercial are people that enjoy Disney movies. Such as family friendly people, children, young adults, adults, the elderly and everyone in between. When I first watched Toy story, I believe it was in the cafeteria of my elementary school and I loved it. There are many productions for instance Toy Story 1, 2, 3, and 4. And in each production the song You've got a friend in me is played as a ritual. When people automatically hear this song they usually assume on the spot Toy Story. This is a friendly and comforting number because this song is interpreting that having a friend that is there for you is superior. In the words of Jim's Poetry, "Your friend will help you and guide you through life when there are tough times. That you will be friends no matter w...

Genre Research: Drama

  In this PowerPoint, I described the genre drama. I provided everything common about drama in this PowerPoint. Such as lighting, angles, movement, mis-en-scene and sound. Mis-en-scene means placing on stage in French. Which provides costumes, lighting, acting, makeup, props, and setting. In this PowerPoint I did not work alone. I had a partner and we did amazing with this assignment. We also added in our favorite elements of drama and our least favorite. There are examples of some good drama films included. The elements of drama are the plot, theme, characters etc. These make a drama film good. If one of these elements are missing, it could ruin the film of being a drama film. Drama is a complex genre and is my favorite. It can contain comedy, horror, thrill, action etc. I believe it will forever be great. I think it is possible to prove that there is some type of drama in every film. It can be as little as a penny to as big as the statue of liberty. Drama is a dynamic that cannot...
