Genre Decision


Upon adequate research, I've decided to make my title sequence of the Drama genre. I feel that based on the pitch I chose, It would be best to make it a drama rather than anything else. Other genres that I've researched like horror and action don't necessarily fit the concept I'm going for either. Drama contains a lot of the elements that I want to implement in my title sequence. For example, high stakes and a lot of conflict. In my title sequence I want to add a glimpse of all the conflicts that our main character is going through. I want the audience to be able to tell that the rest of the movie will follow an intricate plot. Dramas often have a main character that is highly emotionally-driven, which is also something I want to incorporate into my upcoming project. Since this is only a title sequence, I don't want to try to force too many elements of the genre in there, but just enough for the audience to know that it will be a drama film. Although, It would be beneficial to put In as many as I can, I just don't want to over-do it. Anyhow, I chose this genre not inly because feel that it is most fitting but also because its my favorite genre. Drama films tend to back to packed with an intense plot, which a I personally enjoy. I think that choosing this genre will make the production of my title sequence a little more enjoyable since I like this particular genre. I was honestly also contemplating making it a horror film too. I figured that the I could very well raise he steaks of the plot I had in mind and have the main character's boyfriend threaten and kill some of her family members to make it a horror film. I think this would've been a little harder to pull off through because this would be something I'd have to include in my opening sequence. I don't have enough actors or resources to make something like that happen so I think the best thing for me to do is to stick with the drama genre. This pretty much sums up my thought process leading up to my conclusion of making my opening sequence a part of the drama genre.

Production Blog: Photoshopping

 okay so today I made used photoshop to create fake screenshots and profiles for the extra characters I'll be using in my opening. so first I started by taking screenshots of my actual instagram page on my MacBook to get a desktop view. Then, I airdropped these screenshots to mymy phone where I input them into this editing software called pics art. in PicsArt I removed the pieces of information I didn't want like the username and flower sound and edited themto customize his fake profile. I blocked out the username (which is my instagram user handle) and changed it to Megan.K (which is the main character's catfish name). Then, I blocked out the bio that I had in place to replace it with something new. In the place of the nameplate I changed it to say Megan Baby and on the third line I put NAHS as a random high school name. Then, for the 3 follower phases I had planned, i made each phase change from 2 to 3 to 4 digits. This is mean to show the drastic increase in followers th

Genre Research: Lady Bird

Image
 The last drama film I watched was Lady Bird. It's a Drama/Comedy and the drama side seems to shine through a lot more here. It's a narrative in the perspective of the main character, Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson. She strives to attend a prestigious college. Unfortunately, her grades aren't the best and she comes from an extremely low income family that's situation increasingly gets worse because her father lost his job. Because of her obsession with going to a prestigious university's, she's willing Tod o everything she can, including betray even her closest friend to make connections. Throughout the course of the movie she and her best friend are seen doing almost everything together but once Lady Bird sets her sight on something new, she often compromises the relationship with her best friend to get it. This creates a major conflict from the start where she slowly but surely changes up her personality to appeal to whoever she's trying to impr

Shantaneil: The Start

Image
 Hello, my name is Shantaneil Francis. I'm currently attending Fort Lauderdale High as a 10th grader this year. This year is very important to me because I've been looking forward to taking this class since last year. One of my reasons being, I've never been the most artistic or creative person, nor have I gotten the opportunity to learn about film or media until I enrolled in Fort Lauderdale High. Another major reason I took this class is to be able to look at the progress I’ve made in this course. A lot of the time, students tend to forget what they’ve learned in a class and move on once they got the credit. I, however, find it rewarding to see how far I’ve come when learning something new that I like. I hope that with the knowledge and possible experience I gain from taking this class that I'm able to develop my creative skills for the future. I've tried testing new hobbies to find something that I enjoy but nothing seems to stick. One thing that I've always
