Reflection on Blogs

Losses – Playlist

In my Losses Blog I’ve watched to the muzzle flashes tutorial made by Ryan Conley (a professional filmmaker) and he walks through the VFX used throughout his short film. I have written a basic instructions guide so that when it comes to the post-production i won’t need any help with the effects. This is because in my project there is going to be a scene evolving guns being fired. Knowing this research It will be easy for me to implement the effects in post-production because I will reflect back to this blog.

Questionnaire

I did some primary research on what people like about the Action and Comedy genre and i found out a lot of useful information about my target audience. They like gore but not over the top like the saw movies, the colours must also be cinematic. I am going to be using this in my imaginations as this will be related to the action genre. I also found out how many jokes there should be and how the joke is told. This is telling me that i mustn’t have joke being told all the way through the short film as this can get annoying to watch. They also want the jokes to be realistic so that people can relate to them more. I will do this when the imagination scenes cut back to the interview room. I can have awkward silence and drag it out because we can all relate to being in an awkward interview.

Rush hour doc

From my questionnaire research, I had a look at the Rush Hour film and doc because this is exactly what my audience likes. I did some research, watched the film again and watch the documentary on how they made the film. I found out that in comedy’s it’s useful to have two characters that are completely different. This is because the two personalities can bounce off each other. So I am going to make my two main characters react in a realistic and funny way by having a boring character and an enthusiastic character.

I now need to have a look at some Codes and Conventions for Action and Comedy. I just need to get an idea of what it is and how it works. Then learn about how to write scripts because i haven’t created a short film that as dialogue yet throughout out all my years of learning media.
