Filming Blog

 Today was our groups last day of filming. We had to get the clips for two more scenes to complete the filming for the project. Since my "acting" part was over, I did all of the filming. I filmed the scene where Maria runs up to Parker and gives her the heart shaped wrapper. This was fun to experiment with. Eventually after trial and error we decided on a certain way to get the shot. Parker was slowly walking away in defeat. I would follow her with the camera as she moved. Then as Maria started running behind her I would slow down and back up with the camera while filming. This allowed me to capture them both in frame of the shot so the viewers could see. After perfecting this shot we moved onto the last one. In the last scene Parker opens up the heart note, and reads the inside. To film this, we took two shots. The first one I took a head shot of Parker looking at the heart, and then looking confused. And after this we needed the next angle of Parker opening the note. I decided to film it from her eye point of view, so we had to adjust to get that angle. I stood behind Parker and held the camera under her eyes so it was right above the wrapper. Then we recorded as she opened it to reveal the message. This shot took a few tries, but eventually we had ones we were happy with. Overall, we got all of our clips done and I'm excited to start editing next class.

Genre Research: Us

Image
  The movie  Us  (2019)   is a thriller/horror movie. This means it has conventions common for both of those genres. However, I will be focusing on the thriller genre.  Camera Angles, Movement, and shots: There were lots of long shots in this movie. They were used to set the scene and to create tension by showing the character and the setting. There were also close ups to show the terrified looks on the actors faces. This created a thrill for the audience. Two shots were also common, usually between the protagonist and antagonist fighting.  Costumes: The "bad guys" wore distinct red suits to separate themselves from the other characters. The "good guys" wore normal day clothes such as jeans and t-shirts. Lighting: This movie had low lighting, which helped to create a scary mood. There was often flickering lights which created suspense, and sometimes there would be no light at all. Makeup: There was no extreme makeup in this movie. But like many thrille...

 My name is Siena Pancera, I am still 15 years old. I live in Fort Lauderdale, and still take AICE Media studies. I am a different student since our first project. When I first joined this class, I was nervous. I was unsure of if I could succeed. I also knew little to nothing about the subject. Now, I've learned so many new things about what this class can offer. I understand the concepts I am taught, and enjoy them. I've also grown in how I work on different activities in this class. After completing our first two tasks, the commercial and music video, I've learned how to be the best group mate I can. Like understanding how to help others in my group to the best of my abilities. I also know more about my individual responsibilities. Such as filming or editing. Even acting. I understand that I am definitely more comfortable behind the camera. These projects have all been exciting to create, and I learn about myself in the process. I am so excited to start the final task. I ...

How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? Genre is reinforced through symbolic and technical codes in one main way, through mystery.
