Genre research: 6 Underground


What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? 


For one, this film is a thriller like the movie we plan on filming. The first 2 minutes of 6 Underground grabbed the audience’s attention for sure. By the end of those two minutes, I definitely would want to keep watching. We want our film to also have that captivating experience to make the viewers not want to give up after watching the first bit.


 What elements of the genre did the movie have that you like?


The film was exciting. It immediately got us questioning what was going on as soon as it started. By the time the first part of the film ended, there was already a twist. It completely changed the mood of not just the movie, but also the audience. There were multiple scenes that made the audience pay close attention and keep up with what was happening. The quick scene changes and clips were really cool because they added to the anticipation of the audience.


•What elements of the genre did the movie have that did not appeal to you?


Some events in the film weren’t really appropriate for all ages. There were multiple shooting scenes, which are pretty common in thrillers. However, it wouldn’t be appropriate to some people for certain age groups to watch something like that. A great deal of the movie is rated R which is also pretty common in thrillers, but again, it just means that it’s not a film for everyone to watch. 

This film also deviated from the thriller genre a bit. Some of the themes matched more of an action film than a thriller. Though it would still make sense for the film to be a thriller because some of the elements of a thriller are similar to those of an action film.

Filming Toyota Commercial Blog

  I started filming this blog on Friday, October 30th, 2020 when my mother and I went out. I figured that since we were taking the car, I could use that chance to film some of the interior features of the car that would be showcased. Because I needed my dad for most of the other shots, I waited till the weekend to continue the filming. That Sunday, on the 31st, I didn't have the chance to go out so I decided to film the 360 view of the car that would be used in the opening of the commercial. I used a long shot to show the entirety of the car exterior. I also filmed the scene that would come after the opening on that day. This scene was of my father putting a few things into the trunk of the car. On Sunday, my dad and I took a trip to the store. This was the perfect opportunity to film him getting into and starting the car. I used a mid-shot to a long shot for this scene because this shot was mainly just to introduce the car features and the whole body of the car didn't need to

Title Research: Glass

Art of the Title The opening sequence shows the production company in charge of the film. It shows the company that works with distributing the movie. Then it shows the title of the film. The film then starts to show the actors playing in the movie. The sequence then starts to name the people who helped cast the film, as well as the director. It showed who was in charge of music, costuming, editing, photography, then the producers.  The opening sequence starts off with a recap. this film is a sequel, so it begins by introducing the main character of the original. Later on, it introduces some of the other characters. It builds the moment by showing background events that lead to the appearance of the next potential main character.  The first clip of the man speaking to the girls can allow us to assume that the man has some sort of psychological disorder. The way he is acting all calm and friendly in this situation tells us that whatever his issue is will be part of the main plot. The sc

Genre Research: Final Choice

  Out of all three of the genres chosen, we decided to finally go with Drama. The reason for this choice is that a drama is simply more flexible than the others. There are so many aspects to a film that can make it be considered as a drama. On the other hand, Horror and Comedy have a big more restraint. When making a horror film, there has to be some element that “scares” the audience. Whether it is actually scary or not isn’t the point, but whether it creates a chilling atmosphere. It just didn’t really seem to fit into the prompt of our short film. We don’t want the audience to be too distracted by “not getting scared” to the point where they miss the message we are trying to send. Comedy was a little more close than horror, but again, it didn’t seem to match our story. The main purpose of comedic films is to have the audience laughing. Another, more subtle idea, would just be to have traces of humor throughout the film. However, why would we want to add comedy to a film that’s meant
