Genre desison

So with all my research on dramas, comedies and musicals, I finally choose a genre for my project. It was hard to choose, since these genres often clash with each other so many times. But i choose this genre cause of its many aspects, like it relatable to its targeted audience and its topic would be fun to film. I choose teen drama because it relates to my topic and that my topic relates to the genre. Plus, filming a teen drama would be fun to do since most of teen dramas i seen look fun and easy to film. Teen drama is a mix of teen and drama, like “The edge of seventeen”. So i can not wait to  use the genre i choose for my project.

Genre Research- Drama and Comedy

Today I will talk about two genres, and their main aspects of films in the category.Drama films sound as it is: drama. It’s usually about two or more people and their lives or about problems and trying find solutions. For example, coming of ages movie can fall into the drama cause it deals with the protagonist dealing with two or more problems and then solving it out. Comedy films have aspects that it’s gives relatable content to its viewers who find it funny. Plus it gives something that what people find funny these days into a film.Today I"ll talk about two genres and what i think about them,their camera angles,movement,and shots in list format so be prepared.
 CAMERAS: In dramas, camara movement include close ups, long shots, high anlge shots/birds eye view, over the shoulder shot medium shot, and extreme close ups.
COSTUMES: In most dramas,costumes are consited on designer brands clothing, or what most people wear; jeans, a t-shirt with a pair of sneakers. some drama are from certain time periods, example a drama from the 50s would be what people wore in the 50s .
LIGHTING: The light used in drama and films alone are:

• Key Lighting
• Fill Lighting
• Back Lighting
• Side Lighting
• Practical Light
• Hard Lighting
• Soft Lighting
• Bounce Lighting
• High Key
• Low Key
• Motivated Lighting  Ambient Light

MAKEUP: Makeup in drama depends on the types of drama. for example,in movies like  ''Dunkirk'' uses natural makeup on men or smudge war paint to give it the idea the been in the middle of things.other dramas, like the ''edge of seventeen'' or to ''all the boys i love before'' give the characters natural makeup looks to fit their ideals.
ACTORS: Actors and Actresses in dramas normally depend on how they see fit. For example,In Dunkirk, Actor Cillian Murphy fits perfectly in the movie because he fits well with period drama.
PROPS: Props used in dramas usually depend on the type of drama. For example in Titanic, there was the use of papers as passports to get in the ship.
SETTING: Setting in dramas are normally realistic places,For examples in Hidden Figures the setting takes place in Florida because of its location in NASA.
CAMERAS:The main camara angles, movement, and shots are The Push (Way Too Far) In,The Pull (Way Too Far) Out,The Wait for It,The Reveal,The Comparison Shot,The Quick Zoom,The Perspective Shot,The “Look Over There!”.
COSTUMES: Costumes in comedies normally depend on the topic.For example, in "Hitchhiker guide to the galaxy" there was many costumes to show off the creatures i the movie
LIGHTING: Lighting in comedies is usually depend on the joke,but most comedies uses high-key lighting and natural lighting.
ACTING: Comedies usually uses comedians in there films example Kevin Hart, Eddie Murphy, Tiffany Haddish.
MAKEUP: Makeup in comedies are basically natural looks Or depending on the idea, Like in Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, where the used extreme makeup to show of the monsters.
PROPS: Props in comedies usually depend on the topic.
Setting: Setting in comedies are realistic places

Genre research- Power presentation

 My power point presentation is about a genre known as musicals. Musicals are performed or filmed, usually targeted at children and young adults. Musical main elements are Acting, Singing, Music and lighting.Musicals have a romantic aspects, where the main character  falls in love and normally confess there love through out song. The choreography in Musicals can be challenging ,like Lion king, or simple, like High school Musical. Most Musicals,like The greatest Showmen., have comeback songs to show that the characters fight. Some however my be a consistent of sad songs.

the pitches

So if you read my last blog then you know i have three movie ideas .Well I'm here to talk about two of my pitches, and maybe decide on my final pitch for my movie! So here the first pitch which is about a girl and her life in the beauty community and her past coming back to her as a controversial  video of her resurfaced and change on how she viewed in the internet and reality. Her video reflects on her past with her mom being abusive,emotional and physical ,and her life in high school example, dealing with bullies etc. She find as doing make-up her only comfort and away to be like by others in school, but goes with the topic of beautiful on social media and how toxic it is today for girls and boys. It also helps with the idea of craving attention and doing anything for it.
   My second pitch is about  guy tries to deal with their social media life persona while having breast cancer. He life goes upside down when he founds out he has breast cancer, but tries to hide it from the internet and confines it. Over time his secret get release from a friend who wanted clout. The idea is having a double life from the internet and reality and trying to keep the two apart from each other. It  also goes with the idea of breast cancer, since it portrayed that women gets breast cancer, not men, which is toxic masculine.
     The final Pitch i choose is the one about the girl and being apart of the beauty community because it will expose the ideals of the community and how it works. It will also show how our past comes back to haunt us. I think it would be easy to film this, plus it would be fun to do makeup videos. I think  the idea could use a Little work but it will pay off.

the start of the finish

Hey it's me again! Nerlande, your freshman high school student. Lots has happened since i last introduce myself to you guys. For instance, i filmed a commercial and music video! I know exciting right?  I recently have been in a huge roller coaster on my housing situation, but everything good so far,and of course Christmas been exciting with my family going out to the arcade and having fun with the dance games there.  My four Kittens and cat decide to leave the nest,well except the two Golden brown ones, named DJ and Mj, wanted to stay and enjoy the luxury of belly rubs and warm milk. Plus my grandmother recently came from Haiti, and boy is she glad to enjoy what Florida has to offer. I cant wait for my new project shooting a movie opening sound great! Gotta use from what i learned in my last two projects, like how to use the camera and how not to be forgetful. Plus how to edit films, which i'm still not so good at, but try oh so hard to make films look so good( even though i didn't edit the last two projects i done editing with other things like Instagram videos). Filming the ideas i have might be hard but worth it. Can't wait to put some of my editing skills in to use and my directing skills.
    You guys probably wondering what my pitch ,or what a pitch is? Well a pitch is a Hollywood term describing an movie idea in 25 words or less in one whole sentence.I told my self it was impossible, but here i am trying to gather my ideas and drop them here. Here the first:The life of a girl being in the beauty community and her past coming back to her after a video of her speaking about a sensitive topic surfaces.Or this: A girl/guy tells their high school life through poem.Finally this one: A girls tries to deal with her social media life persona while having breast cancer. The last relates to me on a personal level since i had a family member who died from cancer.
