The elements that this movie contained that gave off it was a crime movie was right in the beginning when the movie started with a movie scene. Then how it moved into the main character being blamed for the crime and being booked into jail. 

 
 

What elements of Crime did Monster have that you liked? 

I liked how they were switching back from what led up to the crime happening and the present, him trying to prove that he was innocent and being held in jail.

Genre research: The Hate U Give

 Some aspects of the film that I liked were how it followed us through the process of the (actual/real) victims. It’s storyline and whole objectives were clear and building climax as it went on. Mainly focusing on Justice and what’s right.

The dialogue within its self had a lot of strong language both in and out school ground. Many times the characters spoke with determining dialogue in the high end and lower class communities .

•music playing in background that can be heard

Props included were guns, illegals substances such as alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana  etc. props were mostly evident in the settings of the low end neighborhoods and parties.

Cops, drug dealers and youth activists were more prominent as characters in the film. 

They contain a lot of white shots for example when one of the important characters was shot and when they were surrounded by police in a cop car. Giving the audience a wide view of what was going on.

How do you see the low angle when star (the main character) was crying basically to add an intense emotion to the scenes.

We even seen a couple high angles of the carbs giving us a sense that they were asserting dominance onto us the audience and the character at hand.she himself look important and intimidating. 

•cutaways during shooting incident 

•cutaways during interview with cops

There was dark Clothing for “bangers” and more preppy clothing for the opposition.

•streets, the rough neighborhoods where majority of police and regular crimes within the movie are staking place 

•lots of rap music playing- typically some displaying AA culture (migos, Tupac)

-Medium shots can have the setting in the background but the main focus will be on the character in shot, so the background tends to be blurred out to bring all the audiences attentions to the main character and their emotions in the

  •Common Mis-en-Scene in Drama Films?

-Costumes in a drama are supposed to represent the character and their personality. An antagonist may wear dark clothing to portray dark intentions.

-High Key Lighting Everything looks bright with little to no shadow at all. High-key lighting has little dramatic effect, and it is often used in a scene with no tension or to attach positive and uplifting connotations to a character or situation.

The genre chosen is ….Dun Dun Dun- CRIME

 Out of all genres we researched crime genre was the most interesting to us. There were components where we knew it  would be easier for us to access . We found that it would be so much easier to do something we have lotta of knowledge on since we do watch a lot of crime shows and movies. We have experience using some of the angles and acting in situations similar to those in crime films. And when it comes to props it wouldn’t be an issue when considering what would be both allowed and available.the genres were good indeed, but it was the miscellaneous things such as props and acting that made Choosing crime as the genre, very easy.

Genre conventions: action-adventure

 

• Common Camera Angles in action Action Films?  Usually there’s an establishing shot to basically set the tone and setting of where the adventure is going to take place — lots of close ups shots, to dramatize and put emphasis on what is going in the film. Mainly grabbing  the audiences attention and adding more attention to what’s happening — there’s always some point of view shots, in moments where something exciting or in action is happening, giving the audience the feel that they’re actually their experiencing it since it’s a view from what the character is seeing. —

Bright, Bold saturated lighting along with it sometimes being dark toned, greyish on intense fight scenes. props usually containing weapons like guns and/or knives.

• What elements in Adventure that you like, and you would use? 

High pace movement along with cameras following all the movements swiftly. Having many physical moments and intense emotion throughout it all.

• What elements In adventure  do not appeal you, and you would stay away from?

The amount of violence they usually contain and how the camera angles usually appeal to intensifying every detail of the violent notions 

Our pitch

 "A Group of girls make a bad decision which lands them in a interrogation room"

It would be interested in making this film because we both love crime movies/shows. So we know a lot about what goes on in these films. Also, it  wouldn't really be a problem to access a group of girl to be in the film. What could be a problem though is finding somewhere to replicate an interrogation room. But other than that I think this would be a good idea.

“  When a friend  is accused of causing series of disturbances in her city , 2 girls come together to find the culprit.”

Making this film would be great idea since it falls under several categories that many of our favorite shows do. Being able to work with friends and act as detectives would be fun to accomplish and gives room for many possible genres to be done. The only challenge would really be planning locations and possible costumes that make sense.
