   "Nobody" has good character development. It also has multiple power struggles. As well as use of weapons. I liked the movies way of character development, it really made the main character more enjoyable. I also liked the use of power struggles. I mainly enjoyed the use of weapons, especially because this is probably one of the most important parts of an action movie. The movie had no conventions that I did not like.

Genre Decision Blog

 Welcome back to our blog. We have narrowed down to three genres to choose from for our project. We have came to a conclusion on the action genre. This will give up a cool baseline for action shots and cool camera angles that will make our video pop. It was an easy decision as it is a perfect fit for our idea that we have came up with. Cannot wait to turn this into an amazing video with these amazing ideas.

Genre Research: Action

 Throughout this genre we experience many camera angles, sounds, acting, and editing. Here are some we observe and would commonly see in this genre of Action. Camera angles include: Point of view shots, high angles, tracking shots, and close ups. Editing we would observe fast paced editing with quick cuts and dynamic camera movements to really intensify the action. We would observe cross cutting as well. Common Characteristics, Locations, Actions, Machines, Props, sounds in this genre include Urban settings, explosions, car chases, high octane stunts, heroic figures, and intense musical scores. We would observe punchy sound effects with hand to hand combat, gunshots, and explosions. for sound. Example films of this genre include: Die hard, Mad max: Fury road, The Dark Knight, John Wick, and The matrix.

Our Pitch

Image
Pitch A: 3 soldiers going in on a mission to find a missing key that unlocks untold secrets.  Pitch B: assassin style story where a guy who escapes prison is on the run, but has assassins looking for him.  Discuss Pitch A: The war film would be a great choice. The war story has more opportunities to fill in roles, and it will be easier to fit in a presentation. A plot revolving around war also seems really interesting, and fun to do. Compared to a story about an assassin, this would be a lot easier to produce. The war plot would also have a smoother process of editing.  Discuss Pitch B: The assassin story is also pretty good, but it would come with some flaws. The assassin story is ultimately harder to produce. Making a prison scene would be quite difficult. Without some neat editing the film would just look bland. With more experience though this plot could be possible. We do like the idea of an assassin film though.  We prefer war movies, and have more knowledge on these films. We ha

  I am going to work with my friends. I decided this because I feel like this is a big project. Working with more people is gonna make it easier. I worked with a team on a math project and ended up being very productive. So I think that if I worked with more people id do a lot better. I was asked to join a group. I accepted this invitation. Yet to pick the genre. We will figure this out. Out of all the genres Id choose action. Mainly because its cool. I watched alot of action movies. Action movies are my favorites. My partner was also thinking about horror. I would not mind horror. Horror has a good thrill to it. So in the end we might go for either one. All in all, I decided to work in a group. I also need to choose a genre. Logging off.

     My name is Alek Popovitch and I was born in Florida. I am 15. I live with my mom, brother and a little dog named kobe. Some things I love are food, animals, and working out. Food has such a wide variety to choose from, and it makes everyone happy. Foods like steak and chicken are amazing but my 2 personal favorites are sushi and tacos. Food is probably the most tempting thing on this planet, because as someone who is trying to look lean and maintain a healthy body, I cant eat as freely as id like. Pets like cats and dogs are amazing. They are very nice and super interesting to watch. Animals that live in the wild can be pretty crazy, same with animals raised poorly. Working out has made my everyday life 100 times better. Everyday feels like something new because I train a different body group. Freshman year I struggled from lack of motivation and I was going insane from the everyday cycle of school eat sleep repeat. Going to the gym has gave me self confidence and it made me a lot
