Genre Research Blog A Level : SciFi


 


 Common camera angles and shots in Sci-Fi: Medium long shot, medium shot, close up, extreme close up, wide angle, tracking angle, and high angle

Common Mis-En-Scene in Sci-Fi: Set in space, high tech computers, use of futuristic props, use of violent actions and gore including makeup, futuristic costumes, and strange alienist bodily movements.

Common edits in Sci-Fi: Use of VFX, increase of shutter speed, cool color tones, jump cuts and cross cuts

Common sounds used in Sci-Fi: Futuristic noises, lightsaber noises, strange alien noises, loud mechanical noises, and spaceship sounds.

Some common films in the Sci-Fi genre include: The Matrix, Star Wars, Men in Black, Gaurdians of the Galaxy, and Star Trek.

Some aspects of this genre that I like and would use are the use of futuristic looking props as I think it would look cool as well as advance and make our story a bit more interesting. I also like the use of futuristic sounds and think that it would be interesting to incorporate that into our project.

I do not like and would not like to include the classic Sci-Fi space theme and setting as I believe it would not match our main theme of a scary look and more haunting feeling.

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 to us. After setting that

Production Blog: Editing Again

 Yesterday, I didn’t complete editing my entire short film. So today, I resumed editing. I got on my computer and started up my editing software. The editing software I use is on CapCut. I went over all the editing I did yesterday. This way I could see where I left off and what needed to be done. I made a mental list of what needed to be done at the end of the day. Today was pretty much the last day of editing so I had to make sure everything was done. After all of that I began editing. I pretty much just did what I did yesterday but on different clips. I started with adjusting the clips to the correct length. This made sure there was no background noise or talking. This also made sure there was no awkward silences. I then added music. This really brought the short film together. After that, I added some text to the clips. I watched it all together to make sure it was correct. After that, I put on some finishing touches. This all took only about an hour. Overall today was another succe
