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

 Hello Bloggers, we're back once again with another blog. As you all may notice the title already, it sounds creepy because today in this blog we'll be focusing on me and my groups experience filming in the cemetery. The fact that we had to film at a cemetery already gave me the shivers especially since it was going to be night time. As we were driving, we were planning on certain filming that we needed and lines that we had to memorize. Once we arrived we were contemplating if the cemetery was open or not but we saw an opening and we took it. We parked the car in this pathway and hoped out. Looking around made really scared because as I have never been in a cemetery before, it wasn't a nice first experience. Moreover, we began to film as we had Ethan who is the dad walk around with a flashlight and act like he was trying to find something. We had every scene down pretty well and got it done efficiently. The only big issue was the lighting since we had to film at night. Oth...

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 ...

 Hello everyone, I'm back once again and Im extremely excited to start my Final task. 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, I'll discuss how my previous project went and how I feel about the one I'll be working on next. In my previous project I had to create a music video. I improved my skills in setting up my research, planning blog, production blog, reflection, and several online features, including using YouTube. Since this project is another group assignment, I will perform practically all of the same processes again. The fact that my p...
