Genre Research: Christmas

  •  The common camera angles used in the Christmas genre are medium close shots, medium shots, long shots, over-the-shoulder shots, and close-ups.
  • Common costumes, lighting, makeup, props, and sets used in the Christmas genre are teenager casual outfits, and winter outfits, which have bright lighting, and natural makeup, props are usually Christmas-themed decorations like a Christmas tree, set in winter.
  • Common editing in the comedy genre is the fade-in transition, fade-out transition, and shot/reverse shot. 
  • Examples of Christmas films are The Grinch, Jack Frost, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Polar Express, and 12 Dates of Christmas.
  • Elements of the genre I like is the setting because Christmas movies have pretty sets with snow and decorations which is why I like watching them because it's nice to look at the decorating.
  • Elements of the genre that did not appeal to me are the outfits because, usually in Christmas movies they wear big unattractive puffy jackets that ruin the aesthetic of the movie.

To find the mysterious sound effects I w...

Doing a film review + adding changes to it

 On March 11 I had my sister do a film review of my opening sequence. My sister reviewed it and said that she liked the beginning shot and the music chosen for the beginning of the opening sequence. However, she did make a few suggestions to change the lightning to make it have a more mysterious vibe. So, one of the first changes I made was to adjust the lighting to darker. To do this I clicked on my opening sequence went to the bottom of the options and chose "adjust". With these options, I was able to adjust my lighting to make it have a more mysterious vibe. She also suggested to increase the volume of the main character talking because she couldn't understand what she said in the opening sequence. I went into CapCut to fix these by increasing the volume on the parts where the main character is speaking. To do this I clicked on the audio of the scene where she was talking and there was an option to increase the volume so, I just adjusted the volume to higher to make su...
