Movie convention research: Death on the nile

Hey blog! it’s me again. Last time we discussed genre. Today it's all about movies that have done it. I've watch them and took notes so let's get into this.

Elements that were present in Death on the Nile that we will be using in our film is tension and suspense. Camera angles such as high angle, low angles, close up, tracking shot and establishing shot were used to develop the storyline. Jump cuts and montages were some of the editing used. Dialouge that contained information were major clues that pieced the mystery together.Elements of the movie I enjoyed was the usual setting of dark secluded areas and environments. Characters with hidden motives so you didn't know who the killer was until it was revealed to you. Suspenseful music played adding to the atmosphere of the film through both diegetic and non-diegetic sound. Clues placed throughout using costumes and props.

The elements in the movie that did not appeal to me was the red herrings. The clues were being produced were at times confusing. The characters also could have been more flushed out so their deaths and secrets would be more drastic.

Production Blog: On set

Hye blog! Its me again. It has been about six days since the last time we filmed. Our first time filming was very successful. I started off todays filming day the same way I started it last time. I texted everyone who is on set to confirm whether they are able to make it or not. I started to head to Marianas house but I ended up arriving late due to traffic issues. Since I was already late I stopped by to get small snacks for everyone so we don't have to stop like we did last time. I let my partner know that I was arriving late and that she could get a head start on the filming. Today the goal was to shoot at least 4 new scenes so we can speed up the process. Unfortunately there were many minor things we have forgotten to include in this task. For instance, we forgot to remind everyone to wear the same costume they had on the first day of filming. Next we forgot to provide our new cast member with a list of items they needed to bring for their character, also we forgot to provide s...

Group blog for short film

Hey blog welcome back! Today I will write a blog about my partner I will be working with for my project. I am currently taking A-level media and have a new groupmate. The reason for new groupmates is that my old ones did not continue to take media studies. To introduce my new groupmate, her name is Mariana Wright. I have known Mariana for a while because we went to the same middle school and had other classes together. I decided to work with her because I saw how good of a job she did last year at the AS level and wanted to share ideas with her. Also, I believe working with Mariana would be good because she is very easy to communicate with and also a hard-working person. Along with this, she is also a really fun person to be around. So not only will our project have a good outcome but we will also have fun in the process. Once we began to talk about it we had no clue who we were both going to be working with which is when we decided to work together. We instantly clicked with idea...
