Genre Research: Adventure

Welcome back guys now let's dive into the research for my opening scenes project by looking into a few genres that my project might be modeled after. First, let’s tackle the adventure genre, we have to examine the common elements of the adventure genre.

Common Camera Angles, Movement, and Shots:

  • Wide Shots
  • Long Shots
  • Tracking Shots
  • Aerial Shots
  • Close-ups
  • Pan
  • Extreme Long Shot
  • Low Angle Shots
  • Point-of-View Shots

Common Mis-En-Scene:

  • Natural Settings
  • Protagonist Attire
  • Artifact Props
  • Natural Lighting
  • Special Effects

Common Editing:

  • Cross-cutting
  • Dissolve
  • Action Match
  • Jump Cuts
  • Inserts

Common Sound:

  • Epic Scores
  • Dialogue
  • Sound Effects
  • Silence
  • Nature Sounds

Examples in Film:

  • "Indiana Jones" series
  • "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy
  • "Pirates of the Caribbean" series
  • "Jurassic Park" (1993)

I like the amount of diversity when it comes to the various components that make it up. Adventure films I've seen are compelling because they're exciting and full of action. But it is too common, in my opinion. The majority of adventure-themed movies and books typically include some form of mythological or fictional element which is not what I'm looking for, and I find that a lot of the movies have predictable stories. Stay tuned for my next blog where I’ll unravel even more mysteries about making an opening scenes video. Trust me; you won't want to miss it.

Thinking of What Should of Been Thought

Welcome back guys, I am still panicking, after yesterday I was so tired to think of anything. So, I still don't have a plan and I still don't know what exactly to do. Instead, I’m going to list everything I have and all of the components of project and come up with some ideas with that. Later chose the best ideas and fix it so that it’s better. First the project is about a murder mystery with the twist. I have to film and edit 30 scenes in an appropriate time frame. For most of the project, I will basically be alone. So, I will have to do it all by myself, but I can ask some of my family members and friends for help. This is the part where I wished I worked in a group. But anyways I am going to be filming on my phone and use CapCut and some other sites to edit. I already have most of the props and costumes. In terms of props, I have newspapers, a fake gun, a magnifying glass, a notebook, a pen, and etc. And in terms of costumes, I have a cloak, mask, gloves, and a suit. I also ...

Ad Anarchy and Control

Welcome back guys, it's time to complete some of the last steps in creating this ad. The pictures, the music, the videos, and the credits were all completed when we last left off. All that remains is for me to edit the recently shot video and piece together the whole thing. For the video, again, as always, I'm playing about with the saturation, highlights, exposure, contrast, and other settings. During the editing, sometimes it was either way too light or way too dark, I’m hoping it gives off a deep theme. Now, it's actually time to build the commercial, by using CapCut. I put all of my previously edited pictures, videos, and music into a folder when I was done with them to make it easier to collect. I collected all of the audio, video, and photos. I opened CapCut and began editing. I had to pair the footage with my idea, so it took a while. Some clips were edited, while others were trimmed. I removed the bad parts of the clip. I also added transitions, lik...
