On February 15th, 2020, my group met at the local McDonald’s however I wasn’t able to be there in person because I had my wisdom teeth excavated (although we did FaceTime so I was able to give my ideas whilst recovering from ten shots and a power drill in mouth). But, we answered the questionsContinue reading “3rd Meeting (2/15/2020)”

I made some revisions to the draft (by some a mean I added some more detail to the voice over) but I didn’t change the dialogue or added settings, stage directions, etc. because we still don’t exactly know where we are going to shoot. However, Nick did find a good program to use to makeContinue reading “A Slightly Less Rough Rough Draft”

 The movie Inception was directed by Christopher Nolan and released in 2010. The film is a simulation theory sci-fi movie about a thief who steals secrets using dream sharing technology and is given the task of planting an idea in someone’s head. History/Target Audience The target audience for this film is people who liked ChristopherContinue reading “Inception Case Study”

The costuming of simulation theory movies (such as The Matrix and Inception) is usually everyday clothes because the people are either in a simulation and don’t know it – these people wear normal clothes because the simulation demands it – or because people are infiltrating the simulation and they need to blend in to theContinue reading “Costuming”

My group and I met again, this time at the local McDonald’s, to discuss the questions for this subunit of our blogs. We are doing our own separate case studies (mine will be in the next blog post). Here are questions and our answers to them: What does the script look like for your film?Continue reading “2/8/2020 Meeting”

This is a continuation of my last post as there were too many types to cover so this one will cover the ones more commonly found in film. Offensive Humor Offensive humor is a bit controversial because it’s, uh, offensive. However, that isn’t to say that it can’t be useful; for example, if I wantedContinue reading “Pitiful Ploys at Humor pt 2”

Whilst reading the script, you may have seen some attempts at humor (or not because I am not that funny). Either way, how the humor was achieved – or not achieved – was a very difficult task as there are different ways to achieve it; each way has their own target audiences which didn’t makeContinue reading “Pitiful Ploys at Humor pt 1”

As the man in charged of the script, I have the most power in the characters and their traits. This is good because it makes the mise-en-scene a hell of a lot easier for me as I can manipulate the characters to make aspects for the mise-en-scene more apparent. I decided to make the twoContinue reading “The Roughest of Drafts”

Ghost in the Shell (1995) is one of my favorite films of all time; despite the fact I am not a crazy huge fan of the other films in its sub genre (i.e. Blade Runner). However, I do not feel comfortable talking about the opening sequence of the original anime because of how much nudityContinue reading “Ghost in the Shell (2017) Opening”

Sin City is another noir film that shows key aspects of the noir genre while also reinforcing the importance of confusion in the genre. In the opening, we see a man walk up to a woman on a balcony. They talk for a bit and then the man shoots the woman. Again, (I’m thinking I’mContinue reading “Sin City Opening Scene Analysis”
