Skyline: 2014

Pros and Cons of 2 Genres

We are going to focus the rest of our research on action films because we think that we can overcome the difficulties of the genre better than horror. There are 3 boys in our group and 1 girl, and overall we watch more action than horror so have a better understanding of the types of conventions to use. Although we don't have a budget to spend on explosions we think we won't need one as it is just the opening sequence. It would be different if we were making the whole film - then horror would be easier to do properly as the location of empty houses and forests would be easier to find. Action will be difficult as the editing will be harder as there should be some action which means fast-paced, but we have people would good editing skills in our group so we think we will be ok.

During this week we had planned, filmed and edited the scenes from the preliminary task and the remake.

Daoud - In this week the work which i had to complete was the acting in the preliminary task and also on the remake. Also i had to do complete the synopsis for my group. Another aspect I had contributed with was help setting up the lighting in the re-make. Another thing which I had done was help the members in my group understand how to use and what to do on Blogger and on Scribd.

Vinay - During this week I had to do the filming, editing and directing for both the preliminary and the remake task. Another thing which I had contributed with was the lighting in the re-make while also doing the shallow focus which had been used with my steady cam.

Chirag - My part in the preliminary task was to create and layout the Script for the preliminary task. another thing which i had taken part in was my role of being an actor in the preliminary task. A thing which i had helped set up was the background which was a dark backdrop.

Janki - In the preliminary task my overall role was to be a back-up which had meant that I was meant to assist in anyway possible such as getting the Mise-en-scene in the scene. Another thing which was my role was to create the storyboards for the scenes.
