Genre Research Blog

 The genre of crime fiction can have a variety of different film-making ideas. This is one of the elements that interested me about this genre, as someone can incorporate mystery or murder mystery. This genre deals with crime, criminals, police work, and detection. Many things can go into this genre which is what I look forward to as well. Crime involves action, so this genre may take place outside and at night. As crime is also considered an action movie the film, some camera movements and angles would include, tracking, long shots, close-up shots, and eye-level shots to create suspense. Fast and slow past editing, to create suspense, dissolve transitions. One example is the movie 'Drive' (2011) opening sequence scene. Its unexpected ending gives the audience room to be curious to make it suspenseful, they used cut editing to cut from film to film and various light exposures. quick/sharp edits, as this is related to action. Another film example would be 'Baby Driver' (2017) as this is a crime film.  Common sounds to enhance suspense it may be a silent movie with little dialog and background noises. Music in the background can also be used as either a slow past such as, a moody piano piece, or a fast past to endure action. Lesser effect sounds, or just sound effects from radios, walkie-talkies, a phone call to create suspense or text messages.

 Sunday Morning - Maroon 5.  cams: In the beginning of the music video you also notice lots of close-up shots. Such as a close up of a females eye. As well, as while he is singing. They cut into a close up to him singing. They switch from close-ups and medium shot.  editing: This video also gives an amazing example of cross cutting. Such as cutting from him singing on stage, to the audiences dancing towards the music  sound: They used a voice- over. especially  on the parts with the audience dancing, or he is dancing on stage.  Mis-en scene-: In the beginning of the music video you can notice they used props, such as inserting a disk into a player.

My Pitch

Pitch A- Flickering Christmas lights all over the desk as the wind blows the pages of the book to a specific page that has words that contribute to something later on.  Pitch B- A man who won't show his face observes a woman with red heels through her living room window on Christmas morning. Discuss Pitch A- Showing the words on the page of the book gives the opening sequence suspense and plot. I would like to make this opening sequence as I could have this set up simply at my house. With the Christmas lights showing I could have this movie idea turn in any direction I would like to.  Discuss Pitch B- I would like to create this film because it creates a little suspense on who this man is and the relation of this man to this woman. Also, the red shoes are incorporated into this film. Is the man watching the woman or the red heels? As well as the reason for his pen and paper. I feel like this film is harder to accomplish, however, I like the idea of suspense and creativity I'm ...

Title Research: Bones

 The opening Title Sequence to the movie Bones. The letters are creepy and the opening sequence starts off with two men with coats and sunglasses. As this was an idea I had wanted to add to my opening sequence I love how this opening sequence interpreted it. The letters were shown and were creepy, the men were giving people money, but they gave a creepy and suspicious aspect. With also editing tools, the screen glitches up giving off a scary sense to the audience. I loved how this opening sequence went about, as this was not a classic horror opening title sequence.
