    SHORT FILM RESEARCH: Jet For short film research i decided to watch the short film, Jet by Jordan Chesney. I looked for similarities between the action genre and this film. These are some of the similarities i found Common Sound: The film similarly uses non-diegetic sound to use intense music in tense parts of the film. The film also uses background music to express emotion in the film. The film also uses sound effects which could be used in action films as well. The film also uses diegetic sound to express the importance of every single little move made.  Common Mis-En-Scene: The film uses similar costume to the action genre with a messy, dirty, costumes. The film also uses similar lighting to show the sweat on characters which brings out the intensity. The film also uses prop weapons which is something that would be used in a action film. Two- shots are also used to show tensity between 2 characters often. Common Editing: Common editing between the film and the acti...

  SHORT FILM RESEARCH: The Guilt For short film research i decided to watch the short film, The Guilt by David Victori. I looked for similarities between the action genre and this film. These are some of the similarities i found Common Sound: The film similarly uses non-diegetic sound to use intense music in tense parts of the film. The film also uses background music to express emotion in the film. The film also uses sound effects which could be used in action films as well.

The film also uses similar lighting to show the sweat on characters which brings out the intensity. The film also uses prop weapons which is something that would be used in a action film. Common Editing: Common editing between the film and the action genre is the use of lots of jump cuts and the use of blur in some scenes. I like how the action genre mainly appeals to bringing out intensity in film which isn't...

  Short film research: Emergency Action Plan   Emergency action plan is an action/dark comedy short film. I chose it on the website shortoftheweek.com. It was hilarious, moving, and relatable. The movie follows our main character played the films director, Dylan Redford. He is in a 1 on 1 talk with someone discussing how he prepared for an active shooter drill his work planned to conduct. As he tells the story, a reenactment is shown. At the end we see the man has become the shooter. All his hard work preparing to be in the drill has made him the shooter. It is ironic and sad.    Common sound: There is suspenseful music. An orchestra with violins playing a loud, grand number throughout the film.   Common CLAMPS: Low angle, pan, eye level shot, guns, explosions, extreme close-up.    Common edits: 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 s...

  Short film research: 7.2   7.2 is a 14-minute action/dark comedy movie. Directed by Nida Manzoor, the film follows Cleopatra. A British boarding school student who was bullied and beat up to where she has lost her memory. Yet, everyone in the school hates her. She does not know who she is or why they hate her. Another girl, who claims to be her best friend, seems to be in a panic about something Cleopatra did. She ends up going on an adventure until she ends up facing off against her bully once more. This altercation results in Cleopatra gaining all her memory back.    Common sound: Specifically, the film uses non-diegetic sound. Excluding when Cleopatra's phone ringtone goes off. This non-diegetic sound helps build the suspense and action within the film. Very similar to the sound in the movie Top Gun.    Common Mis-En-Scene: The costumes in this movie were school uniforms. The lighting is reminiscent of an action film as it is dark, there is visible s...

  Short film 9 begins with a very dark and ominous setting. We noticed quickly that the genre was very similar to the action genre and contained a lot of its aspects. The entire film was an action / thriller. There were multiple jump scares and fight scenes . There was lots of dark imagery as well as lots of C GI like a typical action movie. The plot of the film was short obviously, due to it being a s hort film the viewer is thrown into the beginning to the middle of a longer story . It follows the character 9 as he seeks vengeance for his friends and defeats the monster who once killed his old friends. There is truly little character development, but an example is in the beginning the character 9 was scared but now he is brave .  Sound effects are a big part of the short film as there is no dialogue, however there are many unique sound e ffects and loud crashes which are conventional in the action genre . There were lots of aspects that made the full-...
