Genre research: iBoy

Image
   A movie that fits into the genre we are doing, that genre being thriller, is the movie iBoy. While this movie fits into the sci-fi thriller genre, we thought this would be a good movie to watch because it would take the conventions of a film with a thriller genre while adapting it to fit the sci-fi aspect of it. Even though we will not be incorporating any characteristics of a sci-fi sub-genre film, we thought we could learn from the way they adapted the film to fit this sub-genre, and apply it to our own film. Not only this but we also want to incorporate some of the elements that are used in this film since it is a thriller just like our film. Some of these elements include the suspense filled background music, diegetic sound, tracking shots, cutting between shots, jump cuts, close-up shots, fast paced editing, low key lighting, and hand-held camera movements.      These elements combined build up the suspense and tension throughout the film.

The movie used many close-up shots to display the character’s emotions and create a dramatic effect.

Title Research: The Number 23

  The name of the film in which this title sequence comes from is The Number 23. We got this title sequence from a website called “watchthetitles.com” What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?  The titles that are displayed during the opening sequences are the title of the movie, the producer, the starring actors, the person who did casting, the person who did music, the associate producer, the costume designer, the editor, the production designer, the co-producer, the executive producers, the writer,  and the director. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?  Throughout the whole title sequence, a background of a paper can be seen. In this background, a typewriter font is displayed when showing text. The thing that stands out the most is the repeated use of the number “23”. It is written over and over again in the background of the title sequence. What appears to be blood stains spilling over also appears all through the title sequence. Wh...
