Mise-en-scene blog post

 Our activity goals for the project was to visibly and physically show different aspects of our character so others that don't know much can understand our project just as much as everyone else. Our character was in her mid 50s, is a retired singer in which was very popular back in the day. She loved sharing her life lessons and lived a cozy life. We made visual presentations to actively show who our character is and for them to understand our character fully.

We organized our station as neat as possible with concrete and easy visual objects to help others know who our character is and what she did or how she lives. We organized it with books, microphone/music things aswell as music records of her past songs from when she was really popular. We made it a cozy place as our character lived in that circumstance. 

We developed our character as easy and simple as possible so that others could understand what she goes through in her live and who she is. As a group we all noted and applied some key things from the notes so we can fully represent our character. we added stereotypes of our character so that others can easily find clues about who she was and still is. Our process to this project was easy and hard as we struggled a bit in making the online quiz type of thing but when we got the hang of it it got easier and good enough for others to find it simple aswell. I think it turned out very good, and we should be proud aswell as everyone else that applied an effort to this project.

What Makes Action Movies So Exciting?

Action movies are some of the most interesting kinds of films ever made. They are full of adventures, heroes, and challenges. Directors like James Cameron, Christopher Nolan, and the Russo Brothers make action movies that keep people on the edge of their seats.

One reason action movies are so popular is because they are fun for almost everyone. Kids, teens, and adults all love watching heroes fight bad guys, save people, and go on missions. These movies usually have a lot of movement, special effects, and stunts. Some famous action movies like Avengers: Endgame and Top Gun: Maverick made billions of dollars because they were full of heart-pounding scenes and strong characters that people cared about.

Action movies usually have a brave main character who has to stop a bad guy or save the world. There are often helpers or sidekicks who make the story more fun. The hero might be a superhero, a spy, a soldier, or even a regular person who becomes a hero. The story takes place in places like cities, jungles, space, or secret bases. There are always tough battles, car chases, and moments when the hero has to be brave and never give up.

Action movies also use special production techniques to make everything look real and exciting. The camera moves quickly during fights and slows down during big moments to make them more powerful. There are loud sounds like explosions, crashes, and music that make your heart race. The lighting changes too — bright during the day and dark when things get scary or serious. Special effects make it possible to show things like spaceships, dinosaurs, or superheroes flying.

Studios work hard to market action movies so people want to watch them. The posters show the heroes in cool poses, sometimes with fire or smoke behind them. The trailers show the most exciting parts of the movie to grab people’s attention. Taglines are short and powerful, like “The World Needs a Hero” or “One Mission. One Chance.” Big studios like Marvel, Warner Bros., and Universal make most of these films and sell toys, games, and clothes based on the movies.

Film Example #1: Avengers: Endgame (2019)

It has superheroes like Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor working together to save the universe. There are giant battles, teamwork, and emotional moments that make you cheer and sometimes cry. The movie uses awesome special effects and music that makes everything feel epic. The poster shows all the heroes ready for action, standing together against evil.

Film Example #2: Jurassic World (2015)

This movie is about dinosaurs coming back to life in a theme park. At first, it seems fun — until the dinosaurs escape! Then the heroes must run, fight, and survive. The movie has amazing computer effects that make the dinosaurs look real and exciting chase scenes that make you feel like you’re there.

Action movies are so much fun because they let us imagine being heroes too. They show courage, teamwork, and never giving up — even when things get tough. Whether it’s superheroes, spies, or everyday people saving the day, action movies remind us that anyone can be brave.

Some other great action movies are Spider-Man: No Way Home, Black Panther, Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Transformers, and Guardians of the Galaxy.

                     

Sound project 1-2

 What I learned from both of the sound projects was how to use techniques on video sound to create a story or a short film without any video showing and when it is showing. These techniques helped myself understand and comprehend how to use sound to develop different aspects of how to make film with or without video viewing.

For the first sound project me and my partner had to create a film only with sounds and techniques provided in class and canvas where we had to develop scenes within the film and apply sounds to help develop what the film is about using only sounds. Brainstorming took time but we developed a clear and neat understanding of our time travel approach we had made for the sound project number one .In the other hand, for the second sound project me and my partner created a sound outline to use some of those into our one word film project from a while ago. Since we had to split and work individually, I added backround noise as well as pencil sounds and footsteps. These type of sounds allows the audience get a clear understanding of where the setting took place and other little aspects of the film itself.

Overall we used clipchamp to organize our sounds we got from the internet in which we downloaded and imported in clip champ. What could have been done better was adding a more suspense type of sound throughout the sound project one. For sound project two, what could of been improved was adding some sound that creates a hateful tone as that was the word assigned to my on word project. What was one well in both was the sound timing as everything was aligned well for a clear understanding of the setting and how it happened and what was happening.
