Genre research: Romance

 The romance genre specializes in more emotional and affectionate aspects than action or Horror. So rather than focusing on Mis-En-Scene, romance movies focus more on Camera angles, movements and shots, and sound. Many romance movies use close-up shots, POV shots, Over the shoulder shots, and eye level shots. These shots can vary depending on what the romance movie focuses on. But the reason romance movies use such close depictive shots is because romance movies focus on intimate moments that are often portrayed on the face eyes and mouth. Like in the notebook, the camera mainly uses a close up shot to show the emotions crossing the face of the couple and to emphasize the closeness and the impact of the words. Although props and setting are important, for the romance genre me and Mac wouldn't need to invest as much into Mis-En-Scene. This makes this Genre easy to produce because we would just to perfect our Camera work. Romance movies mainly emphasize on dialogue, and non-diegetic sound to appeal to the viewers. Romance movies use non-diegetic sound to set the mood of the moment and bring attention to the severity of the words being exchanged, although there is diegetic sound its not as influential. An example of this can be found in the movie a walk to remember or 10 things I hate about you, you'll notice that the most emotionally impactful scenes occur during intense dialogue. Although this would be easy to film finding a way to incorporate romance into our pitch would be difficult so I don't think we'll be able to do it.

They informed me that it would be okay because the scenes being filmed didn't require every group member to be in it. I still wanted to be included because i know from our previous times filming that during the process we often make changes from the storyboard to better our film. These changes take place during the actual process of filming each scene as sometimes we realize that our storyboard is complicated to follow exactly.  I think it's important for each group member to contribute by adding their input to these changes as it adds as much perspective as possible. I wondered how it would be possible for me to add input to these changes if i couldn't physically be there. I remembered last year when filming an opening s...

How to make a short film

  Blog 3 What is the take away from the video?   I have acknowledged all the aspects and things needed to make a film. I learned the writing tips, production and post production steps and procedures. I could take away that there are ways to be better prepared for filming then I have before.     What good information did you gather while watching  it?   Budgeting and the resources you have access to will be crucial throughout the entire making of the film. When editing, cut the scenes down until you can't anymore which will shorten the film to just the important parts of it. Preparation is key for a film. However, even if you create a storyboard for the entire film, there still may be changes while making it. Stick to a theme and a tone and let it guide the story. If you do not do so, it will confuse the audience. Lastly, taking care of your cast is important because if you do not have respect them, they may not make it as easy to film.     How do ...
