Preliminary plot/s sub genre conventions

  I have decided on a sub genre for the movie opening. I've decided to create a spy movie opening, I will introduce the main character in the movie opening. He will be the hero for the film as well. I hope that the movie opening will be able to also introduce what the spy's conflict is. I still need to figure out the setting for the movie opening. 

A spy movie typically consists of a main character who has to complete a mission or series of missions. Mission impossible is one of the most well known spy action film series. The series follows Ethan Hunt, he is a world class spy. The film is filled with action, high speed chases, and fast paced scenes and explosions. In my opening I want to have the spy hero sneak around and look stealthy. 

In my opening I want a mission briefing in which the main character is given their mission. Although I would like to do this,  I'm on the rocks about it. This is beacuse I don't want to give away the entire plot of the movie away. A mission briefing would make the audience interested in what the movie will be following. I could use the mission briefing as the opening of the opening, similar to a hook.

First AICE Media Studies Project Post

  This project is unlike any project we have done in this class. There were many setbacks, like the fact that the class was online the entire school year. Meaning that i was not able to meet other students in the class. I could not make an y new friends to film with and learn from. This project is a mixture of every project we have done in this class. earlier in the year we were assigned a project using only sounds. We were asked to create an atmosphere using only Foley sounds. Movie openings do things like this all the time. Another project we were assigned to do was a music video project. In this project we had to work on the aspects of marketing, and making viewers feel emotions with only the video and music. There was no use of dialogue or any character interaction like that.  I want to be creative with my project and work on it as much as i can over the break. Spring break is a perfect time to film and work on this project. I'm excited, and nervous due to the fact that there a

Types of Action characters

  There is a variety of different characters within an action film. I'm only doing an opening so I wont include all types of characters within my opening. A character type stands for the type of person that the actor will portray. Specific character types are present in almost every movie made. There are three main types of characters. The first type is the hero, this character type has the job of fighting the villain. The second character type is the villain. The villain comes in different shapes or forms, and could even be a group of people. The third and final type that I will be exploring is the sidekick. The sidekick is usually side by side with the hero and helps the hero throughout the movie.  The hero is focused on throughout the entire story. It is the character that is most developed throughout the movie, and typically gets the most screen time. Having a hero in my film will have the audience rooting for the hero. the hero should have a back story that is tragic and somew
