Genre Research: Thriller & Comedy

Thriller: 
Common CAMS: The most common types of angles in thriller movies are high angles. They use these types of angles to make either the antagonist or protagonist feel powerless. Looking down on someone gives the illusion of someone who is in a vulnerable state. A common movement in thriller movies is tilted. This movement adds tension to the film.
Common CLAMPS: A common type of camera lighting is low-key lighting. It adds mystery and suspense to the movie. Too much lighting or lots of lighting is usually seen in happy films. This would be the opposite. 
Common Editing: Parallel editing is commonly seen to add tension and suspense. 
Example Films: Some example films would be The Invisible Man, 47 Meters Down, and Arrival.
Common Sound: Common sound in thriller moves is eerie and dark sounds. This adds suspense up until the climax.
Elements I like: I like the fact that these movies have lots of plot twists that keep you on your toes. 
Elements I don't like: Sometimes these movies can be confusing especially if there are too many things going on. 



Drama: 
Common CAMS: Camera angles can vary. A common one is eye-level shots to illustrate communication between two characters. 
Common CLAMPS: High and low lighting. High lighting used in more uplifting scenes and low lighting in darker/sadder scenes. 
Common Editing: Common editing in drama movies is dissolve because it links two scenes together which adds meaningfulness and emotion.
Example Films: Common drama films would be Sully, Clouds, and After.
Common Sound: Common sounds are diegetic and non-diegetic sounds. To see where certain sounds are coming from. 
Elements I like: My favorite part about drama movies is that it never gets boring. There is always something going on.
Elements I don't like: I don't like the fact that sometimes drama movies can be overwhelming to watch.

  Before: Once I finished filming and made sure I had all my scenes and looked back at them to make sure I was happy with them. I also deleted any extra videos saved in my camera roll that was not going to be used. Now, I started my editing process. During: During my editing process I officially sat down and began working on my commercial. The editing software that I used was Cute Cut Pro. I added the first scene of my commercial and cut up any extra time. Then, I added the next scene and made sure that the transition was clean and not choppy. I noticed that already with my first two scenes, my commercial was already 14 seconds. I felt like I needed to cut it up more. I tried to make it so each scene added up to 5 seconds. Once I finished adding my other scenes I added the rest of my scenes and again made sure they transitioned smoothly. Each time I made some progress in my commercial, I went back and viewed how it looked all together. Now I added the text to my commercial and mov...

Editing Blog for my Music Video

 Before: Now that my partner and I finished filming all our scenes we began editing. At this point, we had realized the mistake that we had made. We forgot that we needed to film our video horizontally and not vertically. We couldn't go back and retake the scenes because it was already dark outside.  During: When I was younger I would make random edits of my favorite celebrities and influencers. Because of this I already had some minor experience with using editing software. I did most of the editing but my partner was the creative director behind it. The first part was picking a good part of the song to use for our music video. I went on Youtube and Suzie suggested using the part of the song where there is less singing because it would fit better with our video. We did just that and got the 30 seconds of the song we needed. The software we used to edit is Cute Cut Pro, I've used this software multiple times because it is so easy to use and makes editing so much more enjoyabl...

Lip-gloss Commercial Blog

 Youtube Link:  https://youtu.be/m8puPEq23A4     My overall experience with this commercial project was great. I really love the product I chose, I use it often and think its a great lip-gloss. When it comes to production, I enjoyed the way I filmed my project and edited it. I think it really represents who I am and the passion I have for makeup and beauty. The filming was pretty smooth and enjoyable. Editing was also fun, after I figured out home to do transitions and how to make my commercial the right length. I wish I would have incorporated all the aspects that I had on my storyboard and in my head into my commercial. However, I had limited time and wasn't able to fully create the commercial I wanted to. However, I am still very proud of what I created and think it's really close to what I intended it to be. My other concern is that I wish there were more details provided on the requirements of the project. I wasn't aware of many things but luckily I still w...
