Genre Research: Drama

Image
  One of the genres we wanted to explore was drama. So, we researched and put together an overview of the genre. This overview includes the various aspects that make up drama films. These aspects include the camera angles and lighting used in these films. Some other things mentioned are the Mis-En-Scene and plot structure of drama films. After going through this research process, we were able to identify defining features of the drama genre. Dramas generally have plots that are serious in nature with high-stakes conflicts. They also normally have exciting or emotional situations that play into the story and characters. There are various techniques that are used to make these serious scenes and tense moments. For example, low-key lighting is often used to enhance the moodiness of a scene, to convey darker emotions. The lighting works alongside the camera movements and sound choices to make scenes look realistic, and maintain its serious nature. [ ] Especially the diegetic sounds, ...

Screenplay for Short Film

Production: Finding Solutions

Image
   As mentioned in previous blogs, the place we will end up filming at is a public park.  We decided to film there because they have an area with enough trees to pass as a forest with some clever camera work.  The park is not that large, but it is quite popular.  This is a problem for us because we can not film anyone in the background of our shots.  Luckily, we plan to film the project towards sunset.  Hopefully, this will mean that there will be less people there to worry about.  Another big problem with the park is the fact that it isn't that big.  This means that there are no designated camping grounds anywhere in it.  This is a dilemma for us because we intend to set up a tent for the campsite setting.  Since the place we want to shoot is a public area and not a campground, we can't put a tent up.  This is a big problem, but there are ways around it.  One way would be to call the park and ask them for permission to se...
