Genre Research: Action

-

I was given a project to choose a genre I'm interested in and follow through. It was done in a PowerPoint and I needed to identify the key characteristics and conventions within it. Such as lighting, camera angles, and how does CLAMPS contribute to the theme.

Genre Research: Me Before You 2016

  Me Before You was a full on drama influenced and led by romance. A man was living a lavish, wealthy and adventurous life until his life changed completely after being in an accident that left him paralyzed. Louisa enters his life as his caregiver but becomes so much more by loving him and wanting him to find value in his life. But in all her efforts, his mind didn't change. A necessary convention of drama was character development. Within the movie, Louisa grew personally and it's because of her experiences with Will. In my film I'll be sure to include that development. Another thing that made this movie successful was the irony in some parts. Will used to jump off cliffs into oceans and since he cant walk, going back to his old life isn't even an option. Lastly, was the unpredictable ending. The continuous drama of what'd happen next and the constant rising of issues made it interesting and I'll be sure to take that into thought when creating my film.

CHARACTERS - usually sung and performed by women while having both genders integrated in the video. CAMERA SHOTS/ANGLES - close-up scenes on the artists face, wide/long angle shots, tracking the artists...

  Switching back over to the Marketing portion of the movie is really fun! Today I posted onto the Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram accounts. I posted the same content on Twitter and Instagram that there are four days left until the movie is released!! Additionally, I posted that our Movie Trailer that I created on Tuesday is available to watch exclusively on the website.  On Instagram, I might post the full trailer through reels to provide an alternative watching method and bring some footage to the audience. It's only 37 seconds long so I'm sure it'll fit. I also posted the singular post of the countdown! I will be posting for the remainder of the time until our official movie drops. On that day, I'm planning and creating special graphics and posters through the Canva platform to be more like an actual Movie Release. I almost thought of including or having a movie premiere either virtually or just the creators with a red carpet. This is my imagination expanding and I ...
