Genre Research: Adventure

 Common Camera Angles:

  • An establishing shot usually sets the tone of a scene for the viewer to easily understand what is going on. 
  • Tracking shots are used when an actor is being followed when walking, running, or driving.
  • A wide shot is common to show an actor and the surrounding area that they are in. 
  • A close-up could be used when an actor has a serious tone for that scene to show how they are focused and determined. 
Mis-En-Scene:
  • Common costumes are superhero costumes for some movies and business suits for business people to normal casual clothes for everyday events. 
  • Common lighting is cinematic lighting or diffusing light throughout scenes to show an actor's decision.
  • Common Actors are usually used over and over again throughout the genre because they are common. 
  • Make-up is commonly used to give actors to look a specific way or to look better for the camera
  • Props are used to signal something to the actor or are used to help them throughout the film. 
Editing:
  • Jump cuts and shot/reverse/shot are all used when actors are having conversations as well as going from one location to another. 
Example films:
  • Marvel Eternals 
  • Free Guy
  • Jumanji
  • Rava the Last Dragon
Some parts of the genre that I like and that I would use are the common camera angles such as the establishing shot. As well as the types of props and costumes used I feel I would be able to use them well throughout my film. 

Some parts of the genre that did not appeal to me were the common types of editing are used. Jump cuts are very common I feel so being able to differentiate myself somehow would be great in my opinion.

Our Oddball Day to Filming

Image
Today was the first day that I planned to film. It started off according to plan where I met the people that I would be filming with at their house to pick them up and get ready to film. We then headed back to my house to gather all of the supplies needed for the film. I then checked the weather forcast and saw that it was supposed to rain in two hours. Which gave us just enough time to start filming at one of the locations. I thougth we would have time and then it would start raining and it would all be okay. But, as we headed to the filming location it started to rain super badly. But, because of where I live you can usually wait 15 minutes and it will go away. But, today it was not showing any signs of slowing down and it qctually got worse. So, after sometime waiting at the filming location and seeing it begin to flood we had to decide what to do. Some said we should just wait it out some more and some decided that we shoul leave. So, we decided to then leave and go home. When we g...

The Start of a New Chapter

Hi there, my name is Aaron Shaffer and I am a student at Fort Lauderdale High School. I am 16 years old and in my third year of high school. Over the years, through the opportunities I have been able to receive, I have been able to achieve a lot academically. One of those achievements was being able to be a part of the Cambridge program at Fort Lauderdale High School which has allowed me to take multiple college level classes that are allowing me to receive credits, scholarships, and more that I would not have been able to receive otherwise. A little bit about my backstory is that I was born in Fort Lauderdale and have spent all of my life here. I find it a great place to live and enjoy the things that it allows me to do. Having access to so many different activities has allowed me to have many memories made with my friends. Things such as going on jet skis, boats, water skiing and more are things that I could not do in many other places year-round. When I am not out on the waters, som...
