Genre Research

Genre Research 1 

This is my Genre research which is about fantasy. The slides will talk about settings that would be relevant in a fantasy movie, what sub-genres you would expect to see and examples of movies that I have compared to one another.

The reason why I did a slide on settings is because I want to have an idea of what type of setting to have when I am filming my opening. I want to get an idea of the colours I should be putting in my opening that would set a scene and create the atmosphere I am aiming for.

These are the examples of settings from fantasy movies that I have seen and areas that I think viewers would conisder to be fantasy. Some of the settings are from movies such as Harry potter, Red Riding Hood and Lord of the Rings. The opening of my film will be in the woods and the whole film if I did decide to do it would be mostly in the woods.

This Slide talks about the props you would expect to see in the film. I have also talked about Lighting and how Lighting creates emotion and dramatic effects to the scene that you are filming. I researched Films that use lighting to emphasis a moment that is dramatic. I think this is key to a film to have lighting because fantasy does have an essence of drama to it and I feel Having lighting in the movie especially for night scenes would really be helpful and create a mood that I feel would set the scene.

This slide talks about weapons that you would expect to see in a fantasy movie. I referenced to weapons you would see in a fantasy movie that is set in the times such as vicking/saxon time and then went on to talking about futuristic weapons. My film opening won't have weapons in (That I have decided yet) but in the whole film I have thought about weapons and I have thought that if I was doing a whole film I would have some characters holding weapons so I thought it would be key to cover weapons on one of my slides to show that I have thought about it and researched it.

This slide talks about props on sets. This slide I decided to have two films that I have watched and talked about. Alice in wonderland I think uses alot of props on set and I spoke about them and the colours they used. This links to the second slide I did that was talking about sets but its different because I am talking about the actually sets and props.  

This slide I talk about the story line in a fantasy film. I use alot of variety in my slides and sub-genres because I feel that fantasy can relate to many different genres. I didnt want to link it to just one genre so I used examples of others that I think would link well to the research i'm doing. I talk about the typical plot you would generally see in a fantasy movie and chracters you would want to see. When I wrote out the slides I added humour to my work. This was't intentional it was just my point of view that I wanted to express and make the slides 'Read-able' I know they are read-able anyway but I mean I want them not to be boring and for people to read them and find my research interesting.
