Movie Conventions: Murder on the Orient Express

   Genre Research: Murder on the Orient Express

  • What conventions of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have?
Conventions of the genre I chose to be on the final task based on the movie Murder on the Orient Express is close-ups and wide shots. These shots were used a lot in this film. The close-ups shots were used for characters reactions and the wide shots were used for scenic views. I decided to use these conventions on the final tasks because these shots of specific details can help with showing the audience that the genre is mystery.
  • What conventions of the genre did the movie have that you liked?
Conventions of the genre that I liked were the lightning and the costumes. The lighting in the movie was often a combination of natural and artificial light to achieve specific effects on the mood and the overall atmosphere in the movie. The costumes in the movie represent the period the story was set in. It helped bring the story to life and distinguish the characters in the movie.

  • What conventions of the genre did the movie have that did not appeal to you and you are thinking of not filming for your final task?
Conventions of the genre the movie Murder on the Orient Express did not appeal to me was the sound bridge. This would be hard for me to incorporate in my opening sequence only because I had a short amount of time. I feel like sound bridges are used for longer scenes and not the opening sequence. Therefore, is why I decided to not use this convention in my final task.

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...

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...
