Genre Research: Action

Our first project in media studies was to choose a genre and create a powerpoint around it.We had a few options to choose from so everyone wouldn't have the same genre. Genres such as thriller, comedy, horror,  and action were all ones we could choose to do the powerpoint on. Even before we started the powerpoint we had discuss many things. Some things such as when we would work on it is a good example of what we had to discuss, especially because we we were on different schedules. The most important thing me and my partner had to do was figure out a genre that both us look would look forward to. It would've been much harder to complete the project if it wasn't something we were into. Since it was our first project together we wanted to make sure we were both happy with whatever we decided to study about. We quickly decided that both of us really like action. So, because of our interest in everything action packed, we decided that our genre powerpoint would be about action. We also wanted to have one that was really interesting, and stand out against also of the other projects. To make sure out powerpoint was as original as it could be we even went as far as to try and make it marvel themed. This decision came from the fact that we both have a love for everything marvel related, and their movies were always action packed. Just to make sure everything was equal and we both did our share we tried to break up the work equally. Common cams and clamps in our genre were placed in the powerpoint as well as common editing, sound and examples of well known movies. We also went further by including typical typical elements that action movies have that we do and don't really like. We inserted gifs to help show all the angles in the best way and also help give our powerpoint the action look we were looking for. We added transitions and nice backgrounds to help make the powerpoint appealing and enjoyable to look at. Finishing up everything was probably the easiest part of the whole thing. We inserted some background music that went with our genre and finished everything off with the last slide being about sounds typically used.

Production Blog- filming day

 This blog will go over our first filming day which was on March 7th. To start off the morning i had to get up at 8:30 so i could reach Kerens house by 10 o'clock. Even with this extremely early wakeup call though i still arrived 20 minutes late. Upon arrival i realized that only me and Eric were the only ones who arrived, Mya was missing. Mya let us know that our amazon package didn't arrive at our house yet, and we needed it to film since it had our camera lenses. She said if it wasn't there soon she would start driving around to different stores in hope of finding one similar. After an hour of prepping to film with Mya still not arriving Kerens mom decided that Mya should just start coming over to the house while we drive two minutes away to the Best Buy to see if it was there. While it wasn't there we did find something similar we could use and decided that dividing the bill three ways was just something we would have to end up doing. By the time Mya arrived we had ...

  1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? My commercial challenged conventions by exaggerating them throughout the video. Things such as theme, characters, plotlines, and mood are all used to help make a fun and family friendly atmosphere commercial. For example, including clips of my dog at the different points of the day gave the commercial a more home vlog vibe, which is what a lot of families like to do. My video helps to talk mostly animal lovers and families. It also addresses issues about finding the perfect dog collar, one that won't irritate her or other animals.   2. How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media text? My product engages with the audience by talking directly to them throughout the entire video. This is shown by me putting words on the screen each time a new clip started. And using words such as “your” so the person knows I'm talking directl...
