The Beginning of the End... Or is it?

Hello!!!

 I I'm so privileged to be working a project not because it is easy , but because it is difficult. For the next 2 months the right side of my brain will be working endlessly to produce a masterpiece... or as i like to say it A MARVELOUS FEAT!!

before starting on anything a good director will conduct some research...SO WILL I THEN! The thing everybody hates doing but is necessarily the most important aspect of starting a significant project.when it really comes down to it research is important.There's no other way of saying it.Actually there is."La recherche est importante." I just said "research is important" in french.How cool is that?!

I have thought about many genres to start with but i'm come down to two after my research:


Crime                                                                                                                                     Usually involving some type

of police or detective agency

-Crime films are either set in 
an urban place with dodgy streets
and alley ways or in an isolated
location where there won't be any 
witnesses
-Lighting in these films are usually 
quite dull with muted colors to give 
a serious and eerie atmosphere that 
helps build tension.
-Dialogue makes up a lot of the narratives 
as ideas and theories are shared, 
evidence is revealed and people are 
interviewed.
-Costumes can be used as a way of 
intriguing the audience, especially when 
it's contrasted with the environment. Eg.
a well presented person in a dodgy 
neighborhood or alley way. 



Drama
- Exhibiting real life situations and occurrences
- Heart of the drama is some form of
conflict, hardships, difficulties
struggles, etc...
-Portray journeys of character development 
and add intense social interaction filled with 
climaxes to keep the audience emotionally 
attached to the ongoing tension.
-The purpose of a dramatic story line is to 
move the audience emotionally, they do 
this through getting the audience to 
relate to the characters, they usually 
including a happy ending.



As you can see these are the conventions of the specific genre I will be considering for using in my project film opening.I have an important task to do this week in deciding which genre I will be pursuing.
