Reviewing our film

 Today was another rainy day, and with the nasty weather it gave me two options. I could film with my team inside, or find another filming location that isn't outside or under cover. Or, we could make use of this day by reviewing our current shots, and coming up with edits of changes that can make what we have better. Our team chose to review our film today. So, we loaded up what we filmed on the laptop and started watching. I caught some errors with our shots immediately. To start, I along with my team noticed glare in the first shot. At first, it wasn't a bother but later the glare started to seem more noticeable. I decided to mask the glare by cutting the top portion of the film where it was. This was a simple editing tactic that saved our group time. Not having to re shoot this shot saved our group time for other shots or other potential roadblocks. Besides the glare, the shot looked perfect. Our group was very happy with how the first shot turned out. Next, our group took a look at the second shot, which was the scene that introduced the main characters and the struggle of the subject. This scene turned out well, with the exception of one factor. When filming, I didn't realize how serious this issue was until watching this back. However in a portion of this scene, the wind blew one of our actors hair into their face. I brainstormed about how we could overcome this issue. I decided to re-shoot just this section of the scene, with some simple editing, I believe I can make a seem-less transition. This again saves a lot of time, because our group doesn't have to re-shoot the entire scene.

Genre research : (comedy)

       The first genre that our group chose is comedy. Here are the common camera angles, mis-en-scene, sounds, editing. As well as some example films. Common Angles: There are many different angles that are widely used in the comedy genre. To start, commonly extreme close ups as well as close up shots are used. These shots are usually shown to help the audience understand or grasp on the humor portrayed by facial expressions, and reactions from the subjects on the film. Furthermore, other angles are widely seen in comedy, like wide shots. Wide shots are used mainly to fit a large gathering into one shot, and by doing this it opens the door to group comedy, and other characters to fit into the scene or story play. Finally, the last common camera angle that we see a lot in this genre is eyeline shots. An eyeline shot in comedy is the subjects way to often tell the audience directly, the joke or line being said. These are some common angles that are used in comedy!! Co...
