Genre Research: The Karate kid

 


The elements that this movie has in the genre i have picked are the storyline of the movie and how it is filmed. A young boy is struggling and trying to find himself and as he tries he gains a mentor. His mentor is hard on him and isn’t just teaching him karate but teaching him life lessons along the way. He takes him under his wing as his own son since the young boy doesn’t have a father in the picture. It is a long journey for him but he really learns how to solve his problems and stand up for himself. What i like about the movie is it takes you on the whole journey through the good and bad. It shows real problems and how its not bad to confront them. This movie shows a healthy way of coping and finding a way to get rid of your anger and other emotions in another form. What did not appeal to me about this movie was i guess maybe the setting it wouldnt be my first choice. Another thing i don’t necessarily like is how the mentor approaches these problems i understand sometimes there is a need of toughening up but i don’t always agree with it. There was lots of violence and the sense if you give up your weak and it wasn’t my cup of tea. Overall i enjoyed the film and what it was about but there are definitely some things i would change. This movie has a great message to spread to a young and old audience all over the world. There were even two versions of this movie that were made which shows how good this movie was made. This is definitely a type of drama people like to watch. It shows someone pull themselves up and make something of themselves no matter what their situation was.

Editing

 Since there was a late start to the filming process there was a rush into the editing process as well.  I imported all my footage onto my computer after i was done with filming but in that process something messed up. When i thought all my footage was on my computer i removed it from my phone. Then when i went back to edit it i looked for all the footage and it turns out i lost it all. Im going to re film everything this weekend but heres what i have planned for when i edit. I plan on put my scenes in a way where she's remenicing the times with the girl she loves. Im going to try and fade these scenes together or some form of a transition so it looks smooth. Depending on the quality of the videos im going to add a nice filter over the video to make sure it looks good and clean. My video is going to be sort of the same concept my commercial was. I want to cut scenes and then go back to them after a few scenes. This video is supposed to be about a girl going back and thinking about

Genre research : Comedy

This project was made in the beginning of the year when i first started this class. This was to help understand the concept of genres. What we did was picked a genre from a list and we had to research and learn about them. The genre i picked was comedy. This wasn't a hard project to do it was so i could learn. I started by researching everything thats needed and key in a movie. First i researched the specific type of lighting and angles that are used. For every genre all the details are very different. I had to look at multiple pictures to see what angles and lighting are used the most.10 Next i studied the movement and Mise-En-Scene used in the comedy genre. It's often that the camera usually follows the character. Depending on the type of comedy the mise-en-scene is either dramatic or very casual. Next i researched about elements, example films, sounds. The elements are what make a comedy movie a comedy. Theres also sound effects in comedy's its what helps lighten up the

 The elements this movie has is the story it tells. This movie is about a young girl who gets into a car crash but never reaches the crash. She wakes up on the same day of the crash but it's exactly the same. As she repeats each day she has the ability to change what events take place. Throughout the whole movie she try try's multiple ways to figure out how to prevent the crash from happening. As the movie begins you notice she is a mean girl and says no to a certain guy and bullies the weird girl with her friends. At the end of the movie something significant happens and she realises whats really important. Her whole day changed based on how everything happens. The way this movie shows how a tragic event really effects you and you have the opportunity to change it. It's the journey of how she got to where she was at the end of the movie that really opens your eyes. Certain things aren't worth it for the popularity. Its what you know is right and how she helped. She rea
