Short film research: Intergalactic Chef Hunts for Rare Spices | Award-Winning Sci-Fi Animated Short

 First off I want to say that i can see why this film is an award winning sci-fi short. This film was absolutely spectacular. It was amazing from the animation and  character design to even the  voices and sound effects. With that being said this film could and can perfectly fit into the genre of actions. If one were to examine the conventions of action and compare it to this movie one would see that it near perfectly lines up. Speaking of which lets discuss conventions of actions with reference to this film. First off ill start with sound. Just like any other action the film used mainly 3 different sound types. 1 it used dialogue(when the characters were speaking to each other,  diegetic sound such as the sour of the blaster and the door opening and 3. Non diegetic sound such as during the fight scene. Now we can over on to common mis-en-scene's starting with costume. In this case it matched the scenario which was outer space but in action in general there isn't exactly a norm about how one should dress. Next on the list is lighting. Key lighting (even in other genres) is pretty much used the most. Now onto acting, One could act  in many different ways for action. Action though is usually characterize by a cool tough and stern demeanor (this was exhibited by the robot. Now with regards to make up it can be varied as I said several times before but I believe that action films retain a more natural look n its characters. Now Props in this article that align with action include a weapon(gun), and  destroyable object(robot). Now onto settings, settings in action can be very diverse. There is no common setting but in this case the setting seems to be in the future deep in space in an abandon ship of sorts. When pertaining to conventions of editing their were some conventions of the action genre expressed such as standard cuts And action matches. Examples of  other films in this genre include venom, free guy, and max steel. The elements of the film and the overall genre that I like were of course the fast pace action pact fight sciences and well as  use of explosions. In this case their are some details alluding to the actual premise with the story which I extremely like due to the fact that most action films and the action genre in general neglects those details. If you don't know bye now the omitting of smaller finer details such as background info of the story line is one of the things tat I despise the most with regards to the action genre. That should pretty much conclude this blog.
