  Convections in this movie: high angle establishing shot close up ambient sound sound bridge  low lighting dialogue diegetic sound action match Convection I liked:  I like it when the high-angle spins and moves with the character I like it when the ambient sound plays before something happens. It adds anticipation, like foreshadowing. The diegetic sound of the radio buffering made it creepy because the husband just missed the broadcast and remains unaware. I loved the different camera angles. It would be vertical, horizontal, upside down, or tilted. Convections I didn't like: I didn't like how the scenes kept changing between each person. It added a lot of suspense because the ambient sound got faster and louder, but it was stressful and hard to keep up with.

Movie: Intrusion:  Convections In This Movie: medium close up voice over  dialogue jump shot non-diegetic sound  over the shoulder insert diegetic sound Convections I liked:  I like the non-diegetic sound of the suspense music in the background. I like all the props that were inserted to make an effect in the movie like that package. I like I also like the voiceovers giving the audience a deeper connection with the narrator and her thoughts and feelings. I also liked the variety of transitions between each scene.  I didn't like how predictable the film was removing some of the suspense the movie could've had. In my opinion, the movie plot was very basic being that the husband was one of the criminals. As I was watching for the first time there weren't many plot twists that shocked me because the movie was so predictable.

Convections in this movie:  low lighting  low angles  jump cut  high angle  digetic sound  ambient sound  dialogue  Convection I liked: I like the low lighting because it sets the scenes and adds a dramatic effect. I also like the diegetic sound of the screaming in horror from the actors in the movie. Another thing I like is the dialogue because it gives us a sense of how isolated these girls were because they would call everyday objects we are familiar with something different.  Convections I didn't like: Something I don't like is the ambient sound it’s constantly playing and it’s very eerie and makes me believe something unexpected will happen. I also don’t like how the phrase a clean girl is constantly repeated in the scenes throughout. I didn’t like some of the acting because it was kind of unbelievable.

Something unexpected could happen that would have me laughing really hard.  Elements I do not like: I don't like it when there isn't enough visual comedy. when movies rely mainly on dialogue to be funny, it can become boring because they are just talking, and jokes can easily go over your head.

Genre Decision

   After a long discussion, we chose to do a thriller film. Even though I personally am not a fan of scary movies when planning potential pitches this genre was the one who thought of more ideas. Not only were we able to think of more ideas but even plan a little into the storyboard verbally and mentally at least. Also, this project like our last will allow us to connect with friends while making a great film. Hope to make this film as successful as our music video or better and hope to fun fun doing it. Stay tuned.

 Genre: Action Cammom Camera Angles Low Angle Over-the-shoulder shot Close up Medium Shot High Angle Tracking Shot Common Mis-En-Scene Backlighting  Props(phones, cars, masks, computers, masks, weapons...) small towns Hero & Villian Common Editing Cross cut jump cut establishing shot Common Sound  dialogue dietetic sounds  music ambient noise Examples:  Star wars Bullet train Die Hard The Adam project Elements I like:  This may sound childish but my favorite convection are the actors most specifically the main hero and villain. They bring so much meaning to the movie and without them, there would be no movies. Elements I don't like:  At times I don't like the music especially if it's really suspenseful because I get easily scared but it's so important to the movie as a whole.

Genre: Thriller/ Horror Common Camera Angles  tracking shot close up long shot mid shot low angle: Common Mis-En-Scene  antagonist (dark clothing), protagonist (normal clothing )  low-key lighting  gun, knives, blood,  houses, forests,  Editing Cross-cutting  Jump cut Sound tension music  diegetic sound dialogue  non-diegetic sound ambient sound voice over  Examples: Five Nights at Freddy's  The Fallout  Sound of Freedom Run Parasite  Elements I like:  I like the voiceovers because they make what is going on in the film easier to understand and give insight into the main character and their thoughts and feelings.  Elements I don't like :  I don't like the tension music for some reason it scares me before the scarier science even plays. I don't like the props they are a little too violent for me but then again I think I just don't like things I associate with scary.
