Short Film Research (Mickeys Christmas Carol)

  In the short film "Mickeys Christmas Carol" Camera angles, shots, editing, and mis-en-scene were very widely used to represent the comedy genre. For example, camera angles were used to create a sense of humor or absurdity. A high angle shot can be used to make a character appear small or insignificant, while a low angle shot can be used to make a character appear larger than life. shots can were used to focus on the reactions of characters or to show the absurdity of a situation. For example, a close-up shot to show the expressions of a character reacting to a joke, while a wide shot can be used to show the absurdity of a character's actions in relation to their surroundings. Editing is used to create a sense of pace and to build tension or anticipation. For example, quick cuts between shots can be used to create a fast-paced, energetic atmosphere, while longer shots can be used to build tension or anticipation before a punchline. Mis-en-scene establishes the setting and the characters, and to create a sense of absurdity or incongruity. For example, the use of bright colors or exaggerated costumes can create a sense of absurdity, while the use of realistic costumes and settings can help to ground the film in a sense of reality. Overall, the use of camera angles, shots, editing, and mis-en-scene in comedy films is highly dependent on the specific film and the intentions of the filmmakers. These elements can be used in a variety of ways to create humor and to engage the audience. Mickeys Christmas Carol is a movie that mainly young kids would lean to and would enjoy watching. This would also bring many of the older kids some nostalgia watching it again and remembering their childhood. It's a family friendly movie and great for anyone, young or old.

Let's Talk

As seen in the last blog, you know that my team and I were unable to film. We were unable to film because Pedro didn't feel well so we just cancelled the entire day. Since we cancelled everything there wasn't much for us to do so we waiting until we got back to school. Today we were able to meet back up in class to talk about what we needed to do. In class we talked about why we cancelled since Pedro didn't tell me why and what we did during that day. Since we have a long period we took a break in between to do other things. Once we realized the time, we decided to talk about the upcoming plans for our film. The part that takes us the most to come up with is the date. Since Nicole and I have jobs we have to coordinate our schedule, especially our weekend schedule since we are usually jam-packed. I don't know much about Pedro's schedule since we don't talk much outside of school. We know for sure Pedro doesn't have a job so he shouldn't have a problem wit...

Gente Research (Comedy)

     My group and I are also researching comedy. As much as we want action, we also need to laugh. A comedy would also be a lot easier for us since we can just be ourselves. Comedy movies have a lot of close- ups, pans, long shots, and zooms. Close ups allow you to lead your audience into a more intimate setting. You can literally bring your audience closer to the action. And it emphasizes the importance of what we see. But as the push continues, it all breaks, letting viewers know they're watching a comedy movie.Long shots  give an overall context to the scene and usually lets viewers know that what we’re seeing right now isn’t the whole picture... until it zooms all the way out. Static shots, or stand still shots, build suspense. In comedy movies it allows room for the characters to correct themselves or something, Almost like a "wait for it" moment. Zooms emphasize expressions shown throughout the film. Props used in comedy films range from nothing to everything- ...

Research Blog for Music Video

My partner and I are making our music video on “Let Me Love you” by Mario. Usually in R&B songs like this one, the audience would see a storyline. The audience sees the conflict or whatever is happening in the story and the singer trying to get the main character's attention or singing to the main character, unless they are the main character.   In R&B videos, the singer, if it's a male, is usually seen wearing baggy jeans and baggy tee shirts. It's a casual outfit that was very popular in 2000's fashion. In R&B videos, the  women tend to wear basic 2000's fashion, jeans and crop tops, button ups, berets, off the shoulder shirts, and others, all paired with denim, since denim was so popular back then.   The lighting varies in videos, but it depends on the vibe and scenery of the video. Most videos have dim lighting, but some scenes have bright and direct lighting. Other videos can be completely bright or dim, it all depends on the mood.  The ac...
