Genre Research: The Invisible Man

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

The genres of the movie we are going to be making an opening for will be horror and mystery. This is because of the killing that will happen. It is mystery because the imposter is unknown. The opening, however, will not be horror. This is because horror films usually do not have fearful openings. Most the time, they are unexpectedly upbeat in order to fool the audience into having false security. Instead, the opening of our film will be of the mystery genre. The Invisible Man is also a mystery film. It is a mystery because it is unknown who the invisible man, how he became invisible, or why he is trying to kill the main character. Our opening and The Invisibl
e Man both share the mystery genre. •What elements of the genre did the movie have that you like? The Invisible Man was very ambiguous because so much was unknown about the invisible man. One example of the ambiguous nature of the film was the title sequence. The title sequence consisted of computer generated letters that appeared to be invisible. The audience could tell they were invisible because they did not appear until water splashed onto them and flowed off of them. The title sequence creates mystery because viewers do not know why the text is invisible. Also, the opening creates a foreboding effect for the rest of the movie. Since the opening has violent waves crashing at night, it makes the audience feel anxious.

•What elements of the genre did the movie have that did not appeal to you? In my opinion, the mysterious nature of the Invisible Man is very interesting. I think it is the most interesting part of the movie. However, most of the movie was focused on the horror aspect of the invisible man instead of the mystery. I wish the mystery was focused on the mystery more.

Filming: First Scene

Image
 We decided that the first scene could be filmed at a separate time than the rest of the scenes because of its location. Not only that, this was filmed on a separate date. The script was changed to compensate this. The camping trip was scheduled for a later date rather than later that day in the story to maintain continuity. All group members and cast members were not together for this shoot, as we didn't need to be. There are no group parts in this scene besides ones that will be edited in. We got in a voice call together for communication purposes as the first shot was filmed. There needed to be two phones utilized for this shot, as the shot consisted of a phone on a table. Only phone cameras will be recording every scene, and this was no different, which is where the second phone comes in. The camera wouldn't move, as it captures a top-down shot of the table with a phone in its center. The phone would then ring and be picked up by an off-screen arm after a considerable amoun

Intro & Group Blog: Final Task

Image
 I am Nicholas Arnold, an 11th grader at Fort Lauderdale High. After the success of the previous project I worked on, I am excited to work on a new project with my improved editing skills. I feel that I am now fairly competent at editing footage. It would be an ideal scenario if I could use that skill in a group. This why I am choosing to participate in a group with Grant Cipollone. I have chosen to be in the same group for 3 separate reasons. The first is that Grant has good camerawork and can create great footage to use off of our ideas. This is something that I don't feel as confident with, so a project would turn out better with him filming scenes. Secondly, I am more knowledgeable of the editing software and can create a good final project with the footage given. This is all backed up by our previous work, in which we split the work between filming and editing to make a better finished work. There were no problems when it came to delivering the information and footage back and

How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? This commercial is targeted towards anyone with underlying medical conditions that could lead to constant uncontrollable headaches, specifically those who seek a solution to this condition. The commercial primarily advertises a product that is meant to fix these issues. The main goal of the commercial is to get the targeted audience to buy the product advertised by making a convincing plea that the product is worth buying. Migraines are an issue in many people's lives and this advertisement is an attempt at reaching this audience, and their wallets. It challenges the convention of the common issue of migranes by offering a solution. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text?
