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.

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...

Production Blog choosing the app, importing photos, and music

I started to begin working on my All About Me commercial. I'm really excited to work on it because it's my first time making a commercial. The first thing I did was look for an editing app. There were many to choose from so, this process took a while. Many of them looked hard to use. I asked my teacher which one and she recommended capcut. I never used capcut before so, it was an interesting experience. When I got into the app it was a little bit confusing. I figured it out and made a project on there. I named it "AICE Media Studies All About Me commercial." I chose the videos and the photos I already planned to use. I needed to add the music. This was hard for me because I didn't know how to get the music. I asked my sister and she told me I had to download it. I downloaded both of my songs and imported them into capcut. I started to work on cutting my videos to show the parts I wanted to use. I did this for all of my videos because most of them were too long and...
