Genre Research: Action


  • Common Camera Angles, Shots and Movements: High and Low angle, Birds Eye Views, Tracking Shots, Side Views, Establishing Shots
  • Common Mis-En-Scene: Occasional comedy, Large and intricate movie sets (they get destroyed), Abundance of creative prop usage to create fake glass and prop weapons, Intense usage of costumes to differentiate background characters from main characters, Use of lighting to create tense feelings in audience (flashing lights, dim lights)
  • Common Editing: Jump Cuts, Cuts, Fade Aways, Cross Cuts, Dissolve, Inserts
  • Common Sounds:  Dialogue, Intense music leaving audience on edge of their seats, Sound Bridges, Ambient Sounds to immerse audience
  • Examples of movies: Bullet Train, The Gray Man, Ghosted, The John Wick Series
  • Elements of the Genre that I like: There's a lot of freedom in the action genre and there's loads of possibility to use different film aspects to drastically change the "action" in your film. Action movies are extremely entertaining and can have audiences glued to the screen if done correctly. Action movies are very thrilling and suspenseful and never have dull moments. Action movies an have an emphasis on the actors allowing more improvisation and creativity
  • Elements of Genre that I dislike: Action movies can become repetitive and boring if done poorly. Action movies rely on expensive budgets to create appealing scenes and eye catching visuals which makes them very difficult to recreate. Action movies can become very cliche and cringy if done poorly

Production Blog: Getting started

Welcome back once again bloggers. As you all may know, me and my group are working on a short film. It took us a lot of time to figure out what we wanted to film about. We had to make sure that whatever we decided to film, would be able to be adjusted if we have any change of minds. We also thought about what props we would need for the filming process. We figured out what clothes and props we needed to make it look very realistic. So when we decided on the roles we would play, we also thought about them matching our personality. For Joao, "PJ" in the film, is the nerdy guy, the guy that comes up with all the ideas. He is the smart one of the group. We thought he fit that role very well because everyone else in the group is very hyper. We were really stuck since Joao and myself could both play the role and it was overall a pain to decide on who would play who. We stressed a lot trying to figure all of this out. We decided to go to starbucks to lock in on our work. We started ...

Production blog: Website

Hey bloggers! We're back with another blog and today is another exciting news. Today we will be talking about our new website for our own movie. As I've mentioned before we were tasked with a website and a post card with our short film. As we have just completed our post card, we had to plan on how to work on the website. The website task is a little longer than the post card, so we have to start it early. We planned to go again to Starbucks but we didn't want to do that again. What we did was we stayed at Connies house and worked on it. At first we were struggling to find a good website template but after a lot of time looking we finally found something nice. We found something that matches our theme of the movie. So after we found it we began to fill up all the information we needed for the website as we had to include a summary, facts, date of release, actors, photos, etc. It took us quite some time to work on it as we would get distracted easily. But even with distracti...

Hello everyone, I'm back once again and Im extremely excited to begin my journey in A level. For those that don't know me, my name is Nicholas Zilbersztajen and I'm a junior in Fort Lauderdale High school. I consider myself to be very optimistic, social, and energetic, besides many other qualities. Being active is something I particularly acknowledge when it comes to soccer as it is my favorite sport. I am a highly curious person, which is a quality that everyone has said about me. I constantly enjoy learning new things and expanding my knowledge. Moving on, this year I will begin a different task than last year. Last year as you may remember me and my group members had to complete a beginning to a movie, however this year will not only just be a beginning but a beginning, middle, and end. Im extremely eager to work on this project as it should be really fun. I've decided to work with a group for this project aswell. Nevertheless, I'm committed to making an excellen...
