Research Into Genre

 Plan for my short film idea (including genre etc.)

Genre have I selected and why?

I have selected the action genre as It is one of my personal favourite and it is the Second most popular genre in terms of Market share, and with a high total box office of '$47,320,511,189'. I have chosen this genre because I have an interest of action genres and I have previous knowledge of them since I watched these types of films. Genres that include action that I watch are also mixed with other Genres like, Sci-fi, Fantasy, Comedy, Romance etc.

What Audience should I aim for?

It depends on what type of genre I use along with action, most action films that I watch personally are rated for people aged 12 and above whilst some are 15 and very few that I watch are 18 and over. My idea of an action film will not be aimed for adults but not for children neither but instead, the film will be aimed for teens (around 12 or above), and anyone older is also allowed to watch the film since it could contain crime, violence or mild language etc.

Examples of films and franchises that use this type of Genre:

1) Star wars: The whole Sega uses copyrighted melee combat with awesome lightsabers, laser blasters spaceships and all of that Sci-fi and action stuff, including hints of romance and comedy in some scenes in different episodes.


2) Transformers: Directed by Michael Bay (or "Boom!"), transformers uses so much action, from hand to hand combat, Robots, transformation and lots of explosions!


3) Fast and furious: Featuring action, cars, chases, some fighting and lots of racing.

Note: Most of my knowledge were not from actual research, but are from films that i watched in the past. Also i own none of the images.

How to set up a Tripod 1.1: How it is Used,

 A Simple guide of setting up a Tripod Step 1: Start by releasing the tripod legs, in order to do so you must extend the tripod legs, the best method of doing it is to extend from the top down rather than extending from the bottom leg section up. This will help make your tripod more stable that way. Step 2: Release each leg in turn of the height you need. It's better to extend all of the tripod legs to the maximum length rather the getting the height you need for a centre column. Note: only extend the centre column if you need to. As you place your tripod to the ground make sure that once you mount your camera (like a Canon) the leg should be pointing forward and the two side legs should be adjusted so that you will be less likely to knock the tripod during recording. Step 3: Now that you're done, you can now attach the camera to a base plate of the tripod, each tripod will include a baseplate), which clips/clamps the camera into place into the head of the plate...

Evaluation of what I did on Monday 23rd of November 2.1 Planning and Filming,

 What I previously did I have created a visual effect with a spaceship flying using green screen. There is a trick into making this effect, to make it work you will need a prop that looks like a spaceship using invisible thread. To perform the effect first you must set up your green screen, once you've done so you can then get the thread ready and cut it into any length you wish, once you are done you can then tie the tread and connect it to the spaceship, the thread will be hard to notice if the lighting isn't directly pointing to the string. I have created clips of the spaceship using a canon and recorded some clips, once I am happy with what I recorded, I started using Adobe Premiere Pro 2020 and added the clips to my project, once done I have went to google and chosen an image, the one I selected will be the background for the clip. Here is an example of what i have done:

How to use a Camera (Canon) 1.1: How it is Used,

Using a Camera (Canon)  Step 1: To turn the camera on there is an on and off switch on the top right end above on the camera, flick the switch up if you want the camera switched on or flick the switch down if you wish to switch it off. Also take the cover off the lens so you can see what’s displayed on the screen. Step 2: look at the Icons on the top of your camera, you can twist them left or right to select different modes, though personally it’s easier if you just use the regular photo and video mode since they are simple and are one of the most common uses in many movie projects. Step 3: make sure you adjust the camera lens so it will help with focus by twisting it left or right, Behind the lenses you can twist the stick as well to help zoom in and out, or you can press the + button with the magnifying glass symbol. Press the + button a few times and it will zoom back out.  Step 4: You can press the camera icon button once if you are taking a photo, you can press the camera...
