Genre research: Deadly switch



Deadly Switch follows the guides of an amazing thriller film with the story about a foreign exchange student becomes the target of a stalker. Seeking refuge, she accepts an invitation from her roommate to stay at her family home in an idyllic town. But it proves to be far from a safe haven.

Camera angles used in Deadly Switch are Tracking Shots, over the shoulder, close ups, extreme close ups. These camera angles and shots help capture the suspenseful moments in the movie.

The plot has lots of twists and turns that doesn't end in the usual way of most thriller movies. For example the costumes being used fit the scenes really well. The exchange student at the bar was dresses like the scene and not in sweatpants with a hoodie. The makeup also matched the scene and location. The stalker was held to the the sterotypes of a white male stalker. A man wearing a black hoodie and shirt, with black jeans. His face was covered with a bandana and walk was slow and not real close to the main character. 

 Aspects of this thriller that I liked was the bestfriend of the main character being a girl bestfriend duo. The best friend helped the main character when she was being followed by her stalker. However, I wish the setting of the movie was a bit more non- sterotypical. rather then the setting be at the girls house and having the stalker be a steroytpical white male.

Change of Plans

As the title states, there has been a change of plans in terms of the product of my final task.  I will have to cut the total amount of script to a minimum.  I have changed my aspect of what I want to create and I am leaning more towards a euphoria aspect. In euphoria contains flashbacks with a monotone voiceover. According to an article written about the producer's opinion of the show, " The look and feel of the show are as superheated as adolescence itself. The colors are bold, the score and needle-drop songs are loud, and the camera rarely sits still when it can glide, swoop whip-pan, or spiral. Every episode starts with a speedy prologue outlining the backstory of a recurring character shot, cut, and scored like a “previously on” recap of someone’s life. (Levinson wrote all eight episodes in the first season and directed five.) The medium-size town in which the tale is set was mainly built from scratch, the better to allow for expressionistic lighting and acrobatic vi...

Title Design Research: Thriller 30 days of Night

Image
  1.      How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? Ni- Nine Titles were displayed in the opening sequence of 30 days of Night. Stated in the article on watch the titles," The audience is confronted with a sequence of highly disquieting images that cross-dissolve or fade to black. Details of torn and tainted photographs, northern lights, shadows, a bloody tooth embedded in a thick layer of ice and references to the Alaskan wintercape. Brian Reitzell‘s haunting score greatly enhances the discomforting atmosphere." The titles in this opening sequence are simple in all white, however in all capitial letters to state the importantance. I highly like the simple design of the titles and the design of the 30 Days of Night title.  2.      What connotations do the images carry?  - The images carry t he discomforting atmosphere with  Details of torn and tainted photographs, northern lights, shado...

Commercial Group Blog

                  I have come to the decision to create my commercial alone. On short assignments such as the commercial, I prefer to work alone. I have found when you have a group on individuals on an assignment like this one, there is too many ideas and voices to be represented. Another reason I choose to work alone is so I am accountable for my own work. This eliminates the stress of having to make sure everyone submits and does their part of the assignment. I feel when I work alone, I'm the one to have the control over the assignment and can raise the standards. My exceptions for projects is set really high and working with people that don't match my work ethic and standards adds more work for me then what's needed. My personality matches with working alone. I'm an over-achiever and like to challenge myself to the best work I can turn in. In addition, I'm very creative and do not like to turn in the average projects or assignme...
