Genre Research - Coming of Age

Cams
- Eyeline match
- Establishing shot
- Medium shot
- medium close ups
- Over the shoulder shots 

Sound
- Sound is usually used to display the emotions of the characters of their current feeling in the situation
- I found that more obscure genres/songs were used as opposed to the most popular songs of the era 
- Common genres include indie and folk

Mis-en-scene
- Costumes are usually realistic outfits you would see average people wearing as they go about their day
- Usually not much makeup as they want the characters to appear as realistic and relatable as possible
-  Acting is usually with an emphasis on displaying on character's emotions towards each other and reality than supernatural or crazy types of events like you would see in action or fantasy movies

Editing
- Editing is usually not too crazy and is kept more simplistic
- No flashing tracking shots with 360 cameras or anything

Example films
- Lady Bird
- The perks of being a wallflower
- Call me by your name
- Mirai
- 5 centimeters per second

What elements of the genre that you like?
- I like how easy it is to put yourself in the character's shoes and relate to their struggles. It makes the viewing process much more enjoyable when you relate to a character and their struggle

What elements of the genre do not appeal to you?
- A lot of films can appear very similar and repetitive. Characters are commonly copied and pasted as well as movie plots

      In the short film it addresses the issue of selfishness and taking someone for granted. In the beginning of the film, it starts out as a moment of rekindling of friendship between the two characters, where they highlight each other on significant moments in their life separate life and the one they both shared before. By this the audience gets a grasp of the two personalities of the characters and as the film develops and the scene changes the audience also gets to grasp the unfavorable traits of each character. For example, in the film, the first encounter of the issue was the character going inside the house to get changed, and the other waiting outside for a long period of time, which showed how one character was acting selfish in regard to other character waiting outside. In the progression of the film, we see that this behavior continues but it gets continuously worse overtime, and eventually both characters engage in an active and direct argument over the issu...

Comparing Le Je Tee, the short, and 12 monkeys, the full-length movie

  Video:  What is your takeaway from the video? 12 Monkeys is a 1995 science fiction film that tells the story of a time traveler from the future who is sent back in time to prevent a deadly virus from wiping out most of humanity. The film explores themes of determinism, the potential consequences of time travel, and the importance of human connection. One of the key takeaways from the film is the idea that our actions, no matter how small, can have far-reaching consequences. The film also suggests that the future's not set in stone and that it can be changed through the choices we make in the present. Additionally, 12 Monkeys highlights the value of human relationships and the power of love to overcome even the most dire of circumstances. What good information did you gather while watching it? While watching the video I recognized clamps such as zoom ins to a medium close up when the woman is being shown in 12 monkeys. And how the shots of the people were taken closed up to c...

I am working with Nurdlie, a friend that I recently made. We share a lot of similarities and have the best time together. I chose to work with Nurdlie because I trust her with my grade. She is responsible and reliable. I trust that I can rely on her for help and support. She also shows a lot of commitment to her work. She is a visionary and I am a strategist, which made me think this was a good balance for a team. We’re skilled in different things, which I think could be helpful for this project. This way we can combine our ideas to make something that represents us. We share different ideas and perspectives and tell the honest truth about what we think of each. We tell each other when we make mistakes and improve on them. We work really well together. Nurdlie is also very time organized, which could keep us both on top of the schedule. Communication and efficiency are one of our strongest components, we keep each other updated and put time and thought into our work. We are both very f...
