Genre Blog Final Decision A Level

It is finally official! Our genre of choice for our film is action! All of our group loves action movies, like John Wick, James Bond, and Top Gun. Though our favorite action movie is probably the new Batman movie on HBO Max. These movies are so amazing and really gave us a wonderful baseline for what our movie should look like. Although action was our most favorable genre, we almost chose a few different genres. One of the most likely choices we favored was the thriller genre. The thriller genre is remarkably similar to action. The action and thriller genre often are blurred because action movies tend to have a lot of thrilling moments in them. But for our movie, where characters rob a bank, action seems appropriate. It doesn't seem like we need to tweak our pitch. Not a big tweak at least. We've always had the plan of doing a bank robbing film. Action seemed perfect and fit the best to our pitch. We are super excited to continue planning especially since we all knew that each one of us has great ideas. We know each other so well and make a great filming crew. With the combination of everybody's ideas, we can make a great film. We wish we didn't have to limit it to 5 minutes. Despite that, we are so happy to continue working on the film!

Production Blog: Filming

Image
 Last weekend was our first day of filming. We began the production process last weekend. After school last Friday, me and my group all went to the filming location together. Once we arrived, we changed in to our wardrobe. After that, we set up the filming set. We then took a few minutes to plan our camera angles and how we were going to film each shot. We then began filming our first scene. Each actor got into their positions and the camera man into his. The cameraman then counted down like how they do on real movie sets and said “action!”. One of the actors then said the line that was being used during that shot. The camera man then switched positions as well as the actors. The next actor then said his line. We did this process the whole time we were filming. We sometimes even had to re-do some shots as actors or the cameraman would mess up. We also re-shot some scenes later on because we didn’t like how the shot turned out. We then finished up our first scene. After we were fini...

Research: How to make a short film

  Research: How to make a short film        The words short film are a teaser. Although the name may sound like it's an easy quick process, short films take a lot of time, effort, and energy. I learned from this video that planning is one of, if not the, most crucial of all steps in the short film making process. One of the most key takeaways in planning I got from this video is that it is crucial to write for the kind of movie you are trying to make. Now this sounded obvious until I thought about it deeper. When writing our script and planning for the creation of our movie it is key that we do not bite off more than we can chew, meaning do not try to incorporate things into our film that we know will not be possible for us to create. For example, we must make sure we do not go over budget and include pieces that will cost more than we would be willing to spend, and not writing for a cast that would include more than the people we know will be accessible t...
