This is the CCR for my final task. Overall my final task was long and challenging but rewarding at the end. I have definitely learned a lot and have improved in many ways during the production of the final task.
To do more research on the Thriller genre, we watched the movie Birdbox. Birdbox is a horror, post-apocalyptic thriller that follows a woman as she struggles to find refuge for herself and her children away from an unknown entity who kills people when they look at it. Overall, the film was good with a compelling storyline that made you want to keep watching. The film used many elements usually found in the thriller genre, like for example, close-up shots. The movie used many close-up shots to display the character’s emotions and create a dramatic effect. The characters also all wore clothing with very dark and muted colors, and a large part of the film had low-key lighting to create shadows and build suspense. Many shots were over-the-shoulder shots to maintain a close up as the characters were talking, and many high angles to make the characters seem small and helpless against the entity. There were also a lot of track, pan and tilt camera movements to drag out the revealing of ...
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 heightened...
The next website we decided to view was the Watch the Titles website. This website, similarly to the Art of the Titles website, shows several title sequences from various films. We decided to research this website in order to earn a better idea of what title sequences look like, so that we can include them in our final task. The first thing we did on the website was view several title sequences. After this was done, we researched what went into the production of these films, who produced them, why some of the creative choices were used, and several more facts about the movie/title sequence. All of these features were included on the website, allowing for more functional, easy research. From this website, we were able to learn about the creative choices used in title sequences and how that relates to the story, as well as how the title sequence was made. Even the smallest things such as the lighting of the title sequence made an impact on the title sequence and how it relates to th...
