Genre Reaserch- Action

 The action genre is a great choice for our film. The genre focuses on stories that involve high-stakes, high-energy, and fast-paced events.  

  1. All camera shots are fast-paced and there tends to be a lot of close-up shots to show the expression of the character. Establishing shots is also important as they show where the action is taking place. Tracking shots is also common for chase scenes which makes them feel involved. 

  1. In action, the use of sound is very important, and the use of amplified diegetic sound makes it more exciting. 

  1. Action films tend to be in-built suburban areas to allow for a better experience of rushing past buildings than going through the country. The use of an area that can give a sense of speed is the most common. Lighting is usually illuminating characters' faces. Props are always used for weapons and tech devices. 

  1. The most common editing used in the action genre are cuts and jump cuts. They are used to keep the constant action going and add emphasis to the actions. 

  1. Some action films that are what something we want in our film include Grand Turismo, Need for Speed, and The Talladega Night. These action films are all racing films that focus on the upcoming of a character rather than a bad vs good scenario. 

  1. The best part of action that relates to our film is the high paced exciting feeling it provides throughout the whole film. This is exactly what we want when our character is racing on screen. 

  1. The theme of action is not what we are looking for when creating our film. It focuses a lot on bad vs good and lots of fighting and crazy scenarios which is not what our film is about. We want more of an underdog story.

Sound Design

Image
 As a young filmmaker, I was always intrigued by the creative process of putting together a short film. I had experimented in several parts of filmmaking, but one area where I lacked experience was sound design. I had always imagined that sound in a film was simply added in post-production, but I quickly understood that it was much more than that. I immediately realized that sound is an essential component of the filmmaking process and may have a significant influence on the overall quality of the picture. With this revelation, I decided to take on the task of selecting sounds for my current short film production. The initial stage was to investigate and collect various sorts of sound effects that would be suitable for the film. I spent hours going through internet sound banks, looking for the right noises to complement the tone and mood of the picture. Once I got a selection of sounds that I believed would work nicely, I was ready to explore. I immediately realized that the placem...

Critical Reflection

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O0VTLlQLWBdyy2RgmPyYrZ3gUuE0eIcPHJsCuxOJ3Us/edit?usp=sharing The choices made by the main character represent a person of a lesser socioeconomic status. Due to his financial disadvantage, he must eat a non nutritious breakfast and work harder than others. Most people have full racing crews that take care of their cars for them, these cars may belong to a single driver or could be split between a team of drivers. The main character must take care of his car by himself. This is a reminder of the unequal distribution of resources and opportunities in society, where some people are fortunate enough to have access to riches and resources, while others find it difficult to get by. The main characters' dreams represent the luxuries someone of a higher socioeconomic status would have. You can see cars that are worth four to five times the amount of money as well as the ability they get to drive during the night. This is usually only allowed to be perfo...
