Different shots.

         This is shot reverse shot. You can use this to show both sides of a conversation. Its just like over the shoulder shot but a ferw of those shots combined.People would often use this shot in the middle of am argument.you would use a 'shot reverse shot' ,  if 2 people were having an argument or a conversation. But just focusing on those two people it means that its either important or they are important.You could use this in every genre allthough it is most commonly used in horror,thriller and romantic comedies.
 Aerial shot
   This is when the camera is over someones head and it takes a shot. This is quite often used as an Establishing shot.



                                                     Close up

    This is a shot when the head and shoulders are the only things that can be seen of the body.This is used to show expressions or emotions of that character.It can also be a shot of an object, you could zoom in to the object to show more detail.



Extreme close up
       This is a shot where a part of the face or body of a character fills up the screen or dominates the whole frame. This can also be done for an object where only a small part of it will dominate the screen.

Establishing shot

     Basically its a shot where it will establish the scene, this gives the viewer information about where your filming is set. Its usually a wide or long shot and it most oftentimes appears at the begging of a scene.

Medium shot
     This is when you shoot from the waist upwards.


                                                 Two shot
     A shot of two characters maybe in a conversation. usually to symbolise some relationship.




Point-of-view shot
     Where you see a view from the subject's eyes. This is commonly edited so the viewer can see what person this is.

Overhead shot
     A type

                                                                                                                                                               Reaction shot

Mise-en scene

  Mise-en scene is about having all of the right things in the right place as the costumes. For example you cant have a horror movie in the middle of the beach on a hot day, you cant have a random Marks and Spencer's bag in the scene, you cant have a victim running away with perfect clothes and running shoes. These are all examples of what doesn't make a good Mise-en scene.

Over the shoulder shot

               This is an example of an ' over the shoulder shot '. This can be used in a conversation between 2-5 people. The smaller the group the better. Or the recorder camera just pan round.Directors would pick this shot because , you can see all of the people that are in this conversation and this is so that they can focus on who is talking and so that the viewers can see what person is talking. An over the shoulder is pretty self explanatory in the name. It is simply a shot the person who is talking from behind someones shoulder.This is commonly used in all genres so there isn't a right or wrong in this shot for the genre.

Research of fonts

 The reason why this font would be great for our film is because  the lettering is bold and it has the effect that something has been scratching at it and it gives it this 'patchy' effect. The letters are also in capitial letters which just makes it stand out more compared to ' 28 days later '. The lettering is not perfect which is great because if it was perfect then it would not suit the genre.

This style of font really grasps my attention , due to the fact  that the writing is  in a font that looks like ' blades'. The way that they have done this is great because the font style gives away what the film includes. This can really intrigue viewers into seeing this film. You can clearly see that from this style that this film is not going to be about pretty pink fairy's  it is going to be about blades, blood, gory things so a horror genre            
                               

   This font doesn't really catch your eye but its more of a ' sharp' effect. The way that the font is done is amazing because on the 'A' and 'V' they have elongated the top of the 'A' and the bottom of the 'V'. In a way it gives it more of a dagger effect.

This font is okay. The reason why I think that this is not a very good font is because of the style. Its a bit like old fashion writing - which was curly and hard to read unless it was huge. However I do like the fact that it looks like a fountain pen. This suggests to me that its going to be like a child's book.

This font really stands out because its big , bold and in captial letters and this will also make a statement to the audience by saying ' look  at the title its important to the film'. If the font was small and hard to real then no one would read it but because it is big and clear people will be able to read it and understand what it says.

This font really grabs by attention because it had the effect that it is painted on. Personally i think that it would look better red . Because then it would look like someone has painted the title in blood. The fact that it is bold as well really stand out, its also in clear lettering which means it is easy to read.






     There are different types of fonts that can be used in a horror movie. some people prefer to use just normal ' Ariel ' font. This is because its easy to read, and it is usually on a black or white background with red or white colored writing. The red symbolizes blood. This means that some kind of horrible crime will be committed. These are just a few of the styles that I have found that we can be influenced by to do our titles and credits.

Genres.

                      This is my research of the types of genres and what they consist of. My job was to research horror and thriller.
 Below is also a video of me talking about the different types of genre and what I think of them.

                                The film 'easy A' is a romantic-comedy, in this film it includes things such
a girl and a boy finding them selves as nobody and then the girl pretends to loose her virginity for a laugh but then it turns around on her in school. Then she wears the red 'A' on her clothes for symbolism. You will also find some funny bits with romance and this is what makes a romantic comedy.For a romantic comedy to be good it needs the right actors and the right story line.

              The adventure comedy is all about a really good story line and plot! Also you cant have comedy charecters in this film as people will just over look the film. An example of an adventure film is back to the future. This film is all about a boy who can travel back or forward in time with his granfathers time machine ( a car) and with this he uses it to change history! What makes a really good adventure film is whether it has a lot of money or whether it has a good scenery and props for the film to be based.

   A psychological thriller is a great film to watch. The conventions of a physiological thriller is that it gives the viewers a negative emotion towards it. They will become scared and get too engrossed in to it.This is because of the story line behind it. A great psychological thriller example is ' sinister'. This is all about a writer who follows the crimes of people. But he is very intrigued by this case of the family dying but the youngest child always going missing. When they move into the house he finds a black box with tapes of previous families dying, but all missing the child. Then he discovers the boogle....

Genre ideas.

   Today we will be reviewing the types of genres that we looked at previously on Wednesday the 3rd of October. On Wednesday I looked at different types of genres- while considering what our group would be best at. These are the different types of genres that I looked at and this is my presentation of the different types of genres that we was personally liked were; horror , comedy and action. So we are going to try and combine all of these into our task. We decided not to go for a Rom-Com because we all decided between us that we are not that romantic and its not that good if we cant do it and give it 100%. but action and comedy are my types of films that I can re-in-act. My planning is in the pictures above^^^^^. I personally don't really want to do these genres that we have decided but the rest of the group so we have to do what the majority can do. but as I'm the only one who is confident enough to have a serious face and actions through out recording I thought that I should be included in what type of genre that we should be doing.

Prelim task take 2

            Today we filmed our prelim task as we had to redo the one that we did the other day. As by editing the other one we realised that we didn't say the same things are that we wasnt in the same positions. This is match on action, but this is vital for the prelim task! So we redone the whole thing again with the front and back shots with the 180 degree rule. We also swapped over roles as Rebecca is doing the editing with me , Jess and Ashleigh are going to be doing the filimg and the music as well as some of the editing and uploading to the blogs as well as recording the conversations that we have while discussing the factors of how we will do things and not do things.
      While I am writing this blog I am aslo helping Rebecca out with the editing and how we will cut things with the match-on-action so that we can get good marks on our prelim task. We will also be discussing our real groups for the real task later on this lesson :D
