Genre research: The Hate U Give


 The Hate U Give was a movie that came out October 19, 2018. Directed by George Tillman. This movie is about the life of a girl name Starr Charter. She has to switch between two different lifestyles. One being a poor mostly black neighborhood, and the other is a majority white wealthy prep school. As she tries to manage the balance between how she should act between these two lives this balance is interrupted by the shooting of her childhood best friend that she witnessed by a cop. She then has to decided I who she wants to be. She has to find her voice to speak up and no longer hide the way she is, and give others the confidence to do so as well.

  • An element I want to convey in my final project that’s in this movie is to convey the emotion of each character, and to have the watcher connect to the characters. In this movie it caused many to cry or feel some type of heavy emotion. Rather it be hatred, love, or sadness. I wish to have someone of the same impact to an extent of the amount of time I am permitted.(12)
  • Some elements that I liked that was in the movie was that it addresses real world problems. Unlike most drama films this movie is not over exaggerated. The problems faced in this movie can and does happen to real people in their everyday lives. I also enjoyed that it’s bringing up a subject that other may find uncomfortable. Seeing the problems of colored people who have to face society expectations of them and if they don’t get called names. Having others fear you because of your skin color, and the chances of faces racism.
  • There weren’t many elements of genre conveyed in this movie that I did not enjoy. All together this movie  provided an amazing experience.

The backup

 When we were looking through our footage we realized that some of our outside scenes were a bit grey. All the clouds were blocking out the sunlight which caused us to try and use different filters to try and add more colors to the scene rather than letting it look bland and greyish. Another problem we saw/heard when we replayed our footage was the wind. The wind was blowing quite hard, hard enough that we could barely hear the actors speak. We had to reshoot those scenes because the other scenes became unusable. The cameraman had to film on the opposite side of where the wind was blowing to try and block out as much wind as possible. Another problem we faced was the cars and people. We were filming at a park so a lot of people were, so we tried to talk as loudly as possible to try and drown them out. We were able to drown them out, but we were still able to hear them in the film. It was okay because it just made the film look and sound more realistic. It would be weird to be in a ...

Genre research Drama

  In this powerpoint, we were assigned to research a specific genre and analyze the specific conventions and to recognize what makes this genre different than others. To begin, in the drama genre, the different types of lighting used where low key lighting and high key lighting, usually to show the mood in the scene. Common angles included, but were not limited too, low angles, with common movement being reverse zoom, and tracking. Conventionally, costumes depended on the setting. While a drama filmed in the colonial period would likely depict women with dresses while a more modern drama would likely depict women with jeans and a tee. Elements of drama included suspense, foreshadowing and a consistent theme.    Finally, we researched that dramas usually have some type of score, diegetic, non-diegetic, and incidental music.  What we realized when researching drama is the reoccurring themes which makes the plot more predictable and repetitive however, dramas have varie...

Genre Discussion

Image
 For the past couple of days, my partner and I have been discussing what genre should we do. We couldn't choose right away at first because we had to discuss the pros and the cons of each genre. We had to choose out of thriller, drama, and action. (3) The first genre we had was the drama genre. The drama has  stories with high stakes and a lot of conflicts. They're plot-driven and demand that every character and scene move the story forward. We  both worked on this genre when we had the genre project, so we both had some knowledge about it. The pros of this genre are that we had the basics of it down, so the research could be kept to a minimum. This genre best fits the pitch that we choose in our earlier discussion. The cons of this genre are that some of the common things found in drama we might not be able to recreate. Things like costumes or have makeup. Other than the smaller details drama seem like the best choice out of the three. (8) The second genre we discussed w...
