Convention Research (Spider-man:Far from home)


 There are many different distinct conventions in Far from home.  I watched the Far from home today since I am studying the thriller genre. The movie was very good and it helped me understand the conventions in thriller films. One thing I noticed is that there was a lot of tracking shots tracking spider-man. It tracked him on the webs. Thriller movies track the main character so the audience doesn't lose attention of the main character, such as they did in Far from home. The sound in the movie was very mysterious, as something was about to happen. Since the villain in Far from home was Dr. Curt. Connors, they made the sound creepy every time he was present. I noticed in thrillers that the sound is very similar in all of them. 

Spider-man has his costume and the props he uses in the movie. I noticed in thriller that everyone has certain costumes and props to match what there character is. Peter Parker also gets many flashbacks to when he was a kid. He also gets flashbacks to the negative things that happened in his life. The flashbacks help the audience understand why Peter Parker acts the way he acts, and it makes the audience feel a certain way for him, such as feeling bad. Thrillers usually give flashbacks to the main characters past. The thing I like about Far from home is the flashbacks. In my thriller film, I want to give a flashback of why the main character acts the way he does. I don't like tracking the whole time during the film because it can be distracting using too much.

Convention Research (Death Wish)

 For the first movie that our group researches, we choose a thriller called "Death Wish". Here are some conventions that we found in the blog that we liked, did not like, and overall conventions that we should use in our film. Conventions that we liked: There was a lot of conventions used in this film that our group likes. To start, a lot of the angles used have underlining purposes. For example, the antagonist in this film are usually represented with low angles that shows them having power over another subject. To give the film a more modern feel, the costumes worn during the duration was more modern, causal clothing which is something that my group actually liked. Props were also fairly basic, hand guns were used through rising actions because they always give the audience a sense of fear, of suspense, which we liked. The natural lighting also gave the film a natural feel, it made the story more real which we also liked. Finally, all of the sound effects used in the film w...

 Today is March 7th and me and my group have worked on the music we will use in our film. I have already started the process of using the music in the film that will best fit for the certain scenes. At first, me and my group could not decide what music to use for the film. But me and my group searched different thrilling and establishing music and we found the ones me and my group like best. Me and my group will use establishing music for the beginning of the film. And my film will use thrilling music for climax and important events. Important events such as the kidnapper in our film escaping, and the vehicle driving off. The establishing music will take place for about the first 20-30 seconds of the film and get the film to establish a meaning and help the audience get interested. Me and my group will use many different thrilling music for the scenes. Me and my group want to make sure the music makes sense for the certain scenes being used.  I have already started filming the...

 Conventions that we liked: There was a lot of conventions used in this film that our group likes. The angles and the clamps have their own purposes. We liked that the costumes because they were very casual since the movie takes place in a skyscraper. They were also props such as machine guns being shot, during the rising action of the movie. We like that it gives the audience a sense of suspense with the guns being shot. The lighting used since its in a big city gives a thrilling vibe. We definitely want to use a certain lighting in our film. The lighting gives a natural thrilling feel. Finally, we like the sound used in the movie. The sound of suspense attracts the audience which is very good for the film. Conventions that my group didn't like: My group didn't like certain things found in the film. For one, the editing used seemed partially synthetic, and not believe able enough to the eye, although as we watched the film it did seem like a budget film hence the editing was n...
