Genre research: psycho

 Now in this blog we will be discussing a movie named psycho. Just as I stated before we cant talk about a movie until we have some footing about what its about. the description reads as follows "Phoenix secretary Marion Crane (Janet Leigh), on the lam after stealing $40,000 from her employer in order to run away with her boyfriend, Sam Loomis (John Gavin), is overcome by exhaustion during a heavy rainstorm. Traveling on the back roads to avoid the police, she stops for the night at the ramshackle Bates Motel and meets the polite but highly strung proprietor Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins), a young man with an interest in taxidermy and a difficult relationship with his mother." Now that you have somewhat of an idea of the story its time to discuss. Discuss what you may ask, to which I respond , to discuss the elements of the the genre that I decided to base my final project on that the movie had. one of the elements that I planed to to add in my final project that I like is the use of cutlery. In this case the cutlery is a knife the most standard and conventionally used blade in horror movies. Another element I like in this movie is the small secluded area in the middle of nowhere. it gives off an eerie feel. The eerie feel is exactly why I chose this element. There is not much I hate in this movie that pertains to the horror genre besides the evil smile because I found it tacky.

Research: How to make a short film

Image
 I've watched the "how to make a short film" YouTube video and  I gathered a good amount of useful points tips and ideas. Time to delve into what I've gained. Ill start with the fact that when designing or writing you short film one should only do enough that fit their resources. A good example of such is if I have 20,000 I cant be writing or designing for a 100,000 dollar short film. Another example of such is if I only have a water gun I cannot be looking to make a wwii bunker battle since I don't have the resources for such action. When making a short film one should also think of set ups and payoffs. Their are also multiple types of set ups and pay offs including emotional and story as decreed by the video. another skill that their video speaks of is to do or act in opposite of what the audience is expecting. An example of this could be that an audience is expecting a scene  where a mysteries character is the protagonist father but then you can flip the script

blue print for next part p2

Ok, so previously i explained my game plan for doing the video project. this is a continuation of that blog. in this blog I will be going into greater detail about the second part of my plan to finish the project. First it will start with me going up to the front gate of the complex area. From there i would basically take car of all parts pertaining to the killer. I would start with the opening shot of the killer. then i would move on and take all scenes in which pertain to killer. while I'm doing that I would simultaneously improvise each scene. I would add extra movements and even add different camera angles if necessary. from then on I would go back to basketball court. Once there I would take all shots of my victim. just like the killers scenes i would try to improvise the victims scenes with movements and camera angles. After that i would start taking the scenes of the killer and victim in the same frame. I would retake some scenes just incase they were not up to par. note tha
