Film Genre Research-IT

"IT" is a drama, horror, mystery and suspense film from 2017. This film is about children disappearing in the town of Derry, Maine, and a group of young kids are faced with their biggest fears when they square off against an evil clown named Pennywise, whose history of murder and violence dates back for centuries. The film begins with a kid playing in the rain with a toy boat; the boat gets pulled into a storm drain by the rain, and the clown, Pennywise, is in the storm drain holding the boat, taunting the little boy about getting it back. In the first two minutes of the film you can tell that the clown, Pennywise, is going to be  problem throughout the rest of the film and that the little boy is gullible, which could be a problem later on. The film uses camera shots such as wide shots, aerial shot, mid shot, and close up set the tone for the rest of the film. The movie also uses editing techniques such as eye line match, long takes, shot/reverse shot, and insert to set the plot for the rest of the film. Furthermore, the film uses sound techniques such as dialogue, atmospheric sound, and incidental music to create suspense for the audience. The film uses mis-en-scene techniques such as filming on location and in studio during different times of the movie, set design, props, and lighting to generate a sense of reality to the viewers. The opening credits to the film included the names of the actors, producers, and the directors. The budget given to the film "IT" was $35 million and it ended up making over $700 million worldwide, being the highest-grossing horror film of all time. The film has been nominated for 10 different awards and has won one, MTV Movie Award for Best On-Screen Duo.

Third Quarter Submission

For our quarter three submission we revised some parts of our film. We re-shot the beginning of our film to slow down the pace of the film. We also added new fonts and coloring in the beginning of our film for our names and opening title, to have special effects and make it more personal. Our original titles were red and had no effect, so this time we added a pop-in special effect for "Girl's Night" title to create a theme for the film. Additionally, we added incidental music at the end of our film to create suspense and mystery. All these revisions were made to add a sense of reality and more suspense throughout our film. Throughout this new submission I learned how to edit sound and put it in the film, how to add special effects to titles, and how to work with PremierePro at a higher level.

Audience Engagement Research-The Irishman

The film "The Irishman" appeals to all age groups, but mainly older men and younger women. This is a history movie, so it attracts an older crowd who experienced the same events as the characters in the movie did.

In this film she is the teenage girl who is scared by a man in a black hoodie. We knew that Lily had a very projective voice and does not get stage fright in front of the camera or crowds. She was the perfect fit, us the directors, had in mind for our protagonist. Our next character was Lizzy, Lily's friend. We wanted to make it seem realistic, so we chose actual real life friends of Lily's for the film. Lizzy was picked for this role because she is very social and is funny. Additionally, our next character, Annalise, is playing the role of Lily's friend. She was picked for this position because she is the quiet one of the group and looks out for u...
