The Decision

 Hey guys welcome back to our blog, for today's blog we will be making our decision for which genre we will be using for our opening sequence.

  • Genre(Thriller)- After researching the thriller genre, we can say that this is a great genre for our opening sequence. We can take the suspenseful, scary route for our pitch but there are a few problems with this. The first issue is that it would be hard conducting such a film with our pitch. Our pitch deals with the empty hole in a characters heart and his will to fight to fill that void, literally. It would be difficult to make a thriller film with this pitch. Although this could very well be done, it would seem odd and unfit. 

  • Genre(Comedy)- Comedy, this is such a magnificent genre as it brings happiness and laughter to the lives of the audience watching it. For our film making a comedy is a great route to take. We can easily make a parody between Hunter and Cayden as they have a silly, impractical conflict over a girl.  The main issue however is establishing that this a comedy in an opening sequence as well as establishing the conflict. It would be difficult to make this a comedy so quickly, we love the idea of a comedy, it just doesn't fit the vision. 

  • Genre(Action)- Action, this is a very common genre and a popular one as well. Some of the most highly profiting movies are full of action, action films fit every audience because everyone loves action! For our film, the vision is to ultimately end up having an epic fight between Cayden and Hunter but this wouldn't be shown in the opening sequence. The main challenge would be filming continuous action for two minutes while developing a plot as well. 
After some careful thinking, and some careful planning we believe that the best genre for our opening sequence is action. Our vision is to have a lot of action since the base of the movie is about fighting and it has great, complexed plot that can be told through action. We love the ideas of comedy and thriller; it just doesn't fit what we are going for. Action consist of a lot of fighting, explosions, and some tragedy and motive and we believe it's a perfect genre for our film.

Things are looking good!

 Hey everyone this is Hunter Pangia back with another blog and I hope you all are having a great Sunday as you know I am. Today is the Super Bowl, so I will be watching it with family, but I wanted to update everyone on my progress. The props have been purchased and my group and I started filming yesterday. I got through the first opening sequence with them and it's relatively easy because I did one last year as my final task. It is more hard making it shorter as I only have five minutes to film this entire process but I am up for the challenge. Me and Kazmin have similar acting styles so it was easy to have that comradery. I got some good shots of myself plotting with Kaz with Noura filming. I was in my room with Kaz and I was able to get the part filmed where I was plotting how Kaz and I are going to make money.  This process took almost two hours which is pretty long. Considering only a minute of the film was filmed yesterday, this process will take a while. I'm happy to sa...

Short Film Research:Omnibus : Comedy

Image
 Hey everyone, welcome back to another one of our research blogs. Today we will be digging in and looking into the Short Film Omnibus, a comedy. This film was made by Sam Karmann and won the Oscar in the 1992-1993 awards season. It portrays a Frenchman trying to get off of a train at a stop which it wasn't scheduled for.  In this film, the sound starts off as some cheesy movie intro, giving us this pattern that that's how a short film comedy should start. On the train in this film, all you could hear was the sound of the engine along with the dialogue between the Frenchman and the worker on the train. The idea of minimum sound is now starting to become a pattern we have noticed through the short films we have analyzed so far.  When analyzing the Mis-en-scene in this film, the costumes are usually oversized for the main character who has to well be humorous. The Frenchman in this film had a brief case, and an oversized suit, which is common in comedy films where the main c...
