  C ommon camera angles and shots in Action: Tracking shot , medium shot, close up, extreme close up, wide angle, tracking angle, and high angle. Common Mis-En-Scene in Action: Fast cars, explosions, props such as weapons, use of violent actions and gore, disguises such as masks, and sunglasses. Common edits in Action: Use of VFX, increase of shutter speed, jump cuts and cross cuts Common sounds used in Action: Loud bangs, car changing gears, yelling voices, punch sound effect, and loud footsteps. Some common films in the Action genre include: Die Hard, Baby Drivers, Avengers, King Kong, and The Equalizer. Some aspects of this genre that I like and would use are fast cars and the sound of a care changing gears as I think it would look cool as well as advance and make our film more entertaining. We could also use the masks and disguises for the bank robbery scenes as that would be a fun aspect to add to our film. I do not like and would not like to include explosions as I don't thin...

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 mov i e 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 kn...

Me and my group came up with three pitches for short film concepts. Here they are.   1) A ex-homeless man steals from major NASDAQ level companies and gives his stolen riches back to the homeless.  2) A trio of reckless teenagers devise and attempt to execute a plan to pull off the ultimate bank heist. 3) A man is so obsessed with a celebrity he will do whatever it takes to "trade lives".  My group decided to go with pitch number two. We picked pitch number two because we felt like it would be the most fun to make. The movie "Going In Style" is an inspiration for this concept. In that movie a group of old men rob a bank and it is a very fun watch. This concept with a teenage cast has never been done before in film and bank robbery films are always fun to watch. We also have a bank that can serve as a filming location at access so it wouldn't be a problem finding a place to film. I am very excited to make this film with my friends and create something I am proud ...

      My name is Luke Hamill and my group involves me and three of my closest friends. We are all very excited to work together on our short film. We will try our best to make it good quality and entertaining. Most of us are on the same football team and are all in the same friend group. This means we can work as a team well and compete with other students to be the best. I will now introduce my first group mate.       My first group mates name is Cayden McTighe. He is also 16 years old and he was born on November 1st, 2005 just two days after me. I have known Cayden for over three years. He's on the same football team as me as we both play for the school so we are also teammates. I wanted to work with Cayden because he is very mature and gets his work done. A lot of people say we look the same as we both have blonde curly hair and are around the same height. People who have never met us often ask if we are brothers      My next groupmat...

My favorite show is definitely "Breaking Bad" even though it took me over a year to get through the whole thing.       As I mentioned before, I really like music. My favorite band is probably Weezer and my favorit...
