Production Update #1

 As of today 2/25/25 me and my groupmates currently just finished gathering our shots for our media production. As of right now without reviewing much of the clips I fear we may have lacked a linear timeline of events however I think we can storyboard a good way to make it work. I really like the shots we have, we made use of low angle shots to show a position of power in one of our characters. Overall it was a very enjoyable little session, it was a lot of fun but also effective. I think that the clips gathered once fully reviewed is enough to get us to that two minute mark while producing something of the quality caliber we were all hoping for. Additionaly we thought we were going to film on an iPhone however I completely forgot that I had a video camera in which we used. It had its own stabilizer built in and captured our dark scenes at night in my opioin slightly more clearer than the iPhone camera. While we made need to have a second shooting day to clean up lose ends, we can safely say we are on track to the editing portion of the project.

As for who would star in our film, it will definitely be a collaborative effort into fitting the roles. At this point in time it would be me and my friends in class and outside of class if needed more cast members. When we go to shoot obviously we would like to produce something that is not only our vision for the project but is visually appealing. As mentioned before we are just High School students we don't exactly havin...

 For our finial project we have selected the crime genre. This genre tends to focus on things like criminal behavior, law enforcement, investigations, and consequence all for entertainment purposes. Its more of a dramatized genre because it has to entertaining and not boring, so we need to find good balance between entertainment and realism. Going over the history of the crime genre a lot has happened. It is derived from silent crime drams from around the 1910s and was inspired by real life crime, like gangsters and mobsters. In the 1930s was where the world saw the true rise of gangster films into popularity. Showing the viewers the people the criminal underworld. From this crime films expanded into detective stories and criminal heist films from jewelry stores or banks. As the crime genre expanded we began to see a lot of correlation to film noir, therefor the two for the most part were intertwined with crime being the genre and film noir being the subgenre. Film noir was popular...
