Setting Discussion

        The setting in which the film takes place is really important. The setting plays a huge role in helping build the theme, mood, and tone of the film. I'm doing a spy film, meaning that I need to find a theme that fits. My opening is going to involve three different parts. In these three parts the settings will change. The first part will open with the spy sitting in an ally. His face will be hidden but the rest of his body will be visible. The second part will take place in his car. He will be driving to a location that will be revealed in the third part. In the third part, the main character will arrive at a secret location, then there will be a gunshot. 

The opening will create a mystery for the viewers. They wont see his face until the very end. In the very end it will show his face for a second with the flash of the gun shot. I have to research more to find the locations near where I live. I also have to figure out how I'm going to film without anyone else help. This is a very important aspect of the opening beacuse it sets the mood for the viewers.

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.

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
