Genre Research: Drama

 Genre Project (Completed).pptx

As an introduction to AICE Media Studies, I was told to do a PowerPoint on genres of film. We were given the freedom to choose which genre out of the five. Thriller, drama, comedy, action, and horror. I chose drama. I researched the ins and out of genre. From the ideal angles used, like close-ups and double shots to camera movements, like slow pans or dolly shots. I first found music to go along with the genre to play over the PowerPoint the entire time. Then during my research, I learned about lighting, elements, sound & interpretation, and last but not least, my own likes and dislikes on the drama genre. As I read sources and watched a few videos, I saw how fascinating what many think is basic or easy in film is. The intricacy of lighting in drama is so difficult. Some days it might work out, sometimes not. There are times when directors have to rely on the weather for that good lighting. I found that this had to do with Mise-en-scene. It creates an understanding of the character, the setting, and full mood by just the display alone. Within that display is lighting. The sound and interpretation aspect was also very interesting to research since I did not know how much actually went into it at first. I read about common sounds, shard or sudden, used in films that are drama-thriller. They are effective and really help the scene unravel to what the director wants the viewer to take from the film.

Filming Blog        As mentioned in earlier blogs, filming took place inside my home. Filming took place on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. I knew that since I was the only one in the commercial, it would be simpler to finish. That also came with its disadvantages though. For certain shots, specifically in the 1 st , 2 nd , and 7 th scenes, I needed someone else to hold the camera since I was the subject of the film. However, somehow, I made it work perfectly by sing objects around my house like shelves or chairs with wheels. The main difficulty I had was quiet on set. My dog continuously would bark or squeak his chew toy. I resulted to closing multiple doors to drown out his noises and keep him in one place for the small duration of time. Another mild difficulty I had was lighting. There were times where the brightness would be too high on the camera so it would not be compatible with the lighting of the room, or the lighting was so low that it made the camera quality worse. I had to se

   My name is Bremari Henry. I am a 16-year-old in the eleventh grade. Within the previous years, I have learned a couple things about myself. I am a fast learner, and I also work very well when it comes to group work or communicating with others. I signed up for digital media because I always wanted to explore every aspect of art, whether it was music, dance, drawing (digitally or on paper), or design. Even though I was put into AICE Media, it is still a start into exploring a form of art, which is film. Emotions or intentions can be captured by the directorial choices in a film. I think it would do my imagination some good since I have quite a wide range of it.    This comes into play when I participate in the clubs I attend around school. I happen to be Vice President  of AMIE, a club about unity and normalizing touchy subjects that you would not necessarily want to talk about with your parents or guardians in general.  I also attend FCCLA where we learn skills in hospitality. I do

CCR- Music Video Project

  Creative Critical Reflection How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?  - My product is a music video to "Six Feet Apart" by Alec Benjamin. My product breaks the conventions of a pop music video. Most pop videos have a lot of color in them, representing happiness and cheer. I think this video disbands that idea. People in society start to feel anxious and panicked when everyone nut the is happy. This can severely damage a person physically and mentally. 2. How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media text?     -My product would be distributed through YouTube or Instagram IGTV. I would aim it for audiences who can relate. Sometimes, it is hard to be alone. Whether it is you feel worthless or paranoid or even overwhelmed by the silence. My goal is to make all of those people feel seen.   3.       How did your production skills develop throughout this project
