Film Trailers
Despereaux (2008)

This film trailer is 2mins 29 long and by watching the trailer i can infer that the genre of the film is Action/Adventure with an animation twist as it's about a mouse who can communicate with a princess and suddenly the rats kidnap the princess where the mouse himself goes to save the princess. This is why this is an adventure because the mouse is going to save somebody's life

Madagascar 2 Escape (2008)

The film trailer is 1min 50 long and by watching this trailer i can infer that this is another animation, action/adventure but it has more of a twist of genres than the first movie, and this contains sources of comedy, fantasy & romance too. I could tell about all these features because there was elements in the trailer which made me laugh to myself and also interesting elements that made me wanted to watch the film itself.

Harry Potter 6 (2008)

The film trailer is 1mins 41 long and this trailer shows the genre of Fantasy. Within the use of this genre, there are elements of action and adventure and also a blockbuster film since it used to be the worlds most talked about film. The reason why the genre overall is fantasy is because the movie has scenes that are not possible to happen in real life and this makes it unique for the filmmakers to make more money than the other filmmakers that are based in the same genre.

Easy Virtue (2008)

The film trailer is 2mins 4 secs long and this trailer shows the genre of romantic comedy. Within the use of this genre there are elements of drama and this always makes romantic films come to life as they involve real life situations.

Task 2: Styles, Conventions & Techniques Of Music Videos

Styles, Conventions & Techniques Of Music Videos Everything produced in media has codes and conventions and music videos are no exception. A code or convention is like a guideline of rules that music videos often follow that are always dependable on genre or style. The main conventions for music videos relate to camera shots and angles, editing, lyric interpretation, extending or consolidating songs meanings and allusion. Lyric Interpretation - lyrics being shown as a music video and this catches the audiences attention and it could make them sing along or even understand what the song is about. (Lyrical Video from The Chainsmokers - Closer) Extending or consolidating   - Extending or consolidating a song's meaning in a music video is when you use symbolism and things in the mis-en-scene to further push the meaning of the song or to add more of a meaning to a song or to just bring the lyrics together into a visual explanation of what the song actu...

Research Of Own Film

Name Of Film: Too Brisk, Too Quick The idea i have for making this film is a sequel of a group of people racing and also it will involve action too (bringing down villains and enemies). I hope to base my film on the famous "Fast And Furious" franchise as it is such an eye popping film and it is very interesting. Production Companies Orignal Film Relativity Media One Race Films Media Rights Capital Perfect World Pictures EuropaCorp TF1 Films Production Genre Of Film I am going to make a movie based on racing but also an involvement of Action & Drama too. The reason why i am including sub-genres is because a movie with just cars and racing could potentially become boring to most of the viewers and to avoid this from happening is by adding different scenes in to add excitement and stimulate more adrenaline through the viewer. Also by adding more genres to this film would help the film have more of a meaning to why it was made other than just cars racing for...

Single Camera Production Assignment

Introduction Single camera production is the use of one camera within the media production, whether it be a music video, short film or even a movie. Single camera production also tends to use different camera angles and often requires a lot of editing after shooting. Single camera production is commonly associated with low budget films & film companies as they haven't got sufficient funding to purchase many high quality cameras for a film production. Advantages & Disadvantages Of Single Camera Production The advantages of a single camera production is that it makes the viewer feel like they are in the scene with one continuos shot. This encourages the viewer to feel more emotions than a film with more than one camera because the use of one camera establishes that the viewer is at the exact scene in real time. Another advantage is that it is cheap, this is good for low budget film producers as they don't have as much money to purchase more than one camera. Consideri...
