  The opening credits of our film will be in a cursive font. The name of the font is Writing. This font will be used for the whole opening credits. The titles will fade into the screen, then it will fade away. It will be on the screen for about 5 seconds before fading away. Since its only a few words, I believe that's a good enough time to read. This is how the titles will appear on the screen throughout the opening credits: “ 𝒯𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓊𝑔𝒽 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒮𝓉𝓇𝓊𝑔𝑔𝓁𝑒” The titles will be displayed onto the screen in purple and white with a Script MT font. I chose cursive and purple because purple is known for a majestic vibe. My film circulates around the royalty of all black women in the world and how they should be seen as queens and nothing less. If needed, back up fonts will be “Monospace”. Here’s how it looks. For the font size, we decided that we didn’t want to make the font size too big or too small. So we chose the font size 20-24. We don't want the words to look like they

  Schedule 3/16/22- We will start filming the first five scenes. We will also film scene ten so that we can record the one voiceover of the film. We will also use this day to mark where the next scenes will be filmed. This will make it easier for the next set of scenes to be filmed. 3/18/22- We will complete the filming process. We will film the remaining scenes and then review the scenes to check if they need to be done all over again. 3/22/22-  We will start editing the film.

  After watching the film 'Dreamgirls', I noticed they used the drama elements sound, thought, plot, and character. Deena, Effie, and Lorrell are a music trio originally naming themselves the dreamettes. They met a manger named Curtis Taylor Jr. who promised to take them to the top of the game. The manger then begins to take too much control from the girls and then began to cause them to break apart one by one. This is the plot of the film. This film uses a lot of music. Some songs that they include are 'Listen' which was sung by Deena. Deena sung this song to express how she was feeling in the midst of the whole situation. She felt as if the manger wasn't listening to her from within. Another song that was sung was 'And I am Telling I'm Not Going' which was sung by Effie. Effie sang this song to express the hurt that she was feeling inside. The music of the film helped express some parts of the film as well. The character of the film would be Curtis. Al

  This short film called, “The Last 3 Minutes” was about the last three minutes of a man’s life. It is a drama that features a series of cuts, natural lighting, and non-diegetic music almost throughout the entire thing. The beginning scene begins with low key lighting and a long shot to show the entire scene. That is common when a film starts just to show the audience what the scene looks like. Throughout the entire film, there is hardly any dialogue or spoken words at all.  Some angles used in the film are low angles, high angles, profiles, and even dutch angles which aren’t too common in dramas. For example, a low angle is used at the start when the man clutches his chest. This is showing that he is a victim of the circumstance he in. He is weak and essentially powerless because there is no one around to help him. Also, most of the scenes are filmed in from the point of view of the subject. As the man’s life is flashing before his eyes, his memories are in first person. The lighting

  After watching the movie, 'Everything, Everything' I noticed they used the drama elements. thoughts, characters, and themes. Maddy, a young smart girl has never left her home due to her overprotective mother because of an "illness". Olly lives next door from Maddy and will do anything to get her to experience life. The life that she never was able to experience. This is the plot of the film. The film uses the element of character whom is Olly. If it weren't for Olly, Maddy would've never left her life. She would have never been able to experience the real joy of life. She would have also never figured out that her mom has been lying to her for her whole entire life. The theme of the whole plot was to never be too afraid too do something. Maddy went against her fears and her moms rules and she went outside her house with Olly. Lastly the film used the element of thought. So many things could have been interpreted after watching this movie. The main thing that

  The genre that my group and I decided on for our final task after researching drama, thriller, and comedy, is drama. We decided on this because we  knew it would fit perfectly with our short film just by looking at our pitch. If we had chosen comedy, then it would have been harder for us to incorporate comedic elements into our short film. The same goes for thriller. When me and my group visualize myself doing the genres comedy or thriller, we realize that we wouldn't have a setting or actors to fulfill the elements because of how drama filled our pitch is. We also wouldn't have been able to fulfill the conventions of the film. We would have loved to film a comedic film because that is one of the best genres and my group’s favorite genre when it comes to film. It would have been fun. We also feel like drama will be fun to film in all honesty. We have perfect settings for the film. We can also can include comedy as a sub-genre which makes it a "win win" situation for

 The third genre that my group will be researching is comedy. Lighting used in comedic movies usually are three-point, high key, and low key lighting. The lighting is used to set the mood of the scenes and match the setting as well. For example, if someone is at a party, they will most likely use low key lighting to portray the fact that the characters are at a party. Camera angles most used in comedy films are high angles, low angles, and dutch angles. The low angle is used to make the person appear more dominate over someone or something. High angles are used to do the exact opposite of what low angle does for the actor. High angles makes the actor appear more vulnerable or make it known that there is something or someone higher or above the actor. Dutch angles are used to add an dramatic effect to either a confusing or awkward situation. Camera movements used in comedy films are pan, tilt, handheld, zooms and steadicams. These movements are all used to further emphasize the mood in

 The second genre that my group will be researching is thriller. Some elements of a thriller are an action-packed opening, a likeable protagonist, unlikable antagonist, cliffhangers, character growth, a lesson, a ticking clock, which shows that the protagonist can be fighting with time, and an amazing, epic ending. Thrillers often have a race-against-time aspect to them something that adds to the suspense and fuels the reader's adrenaline rush. Whether it is a ticking time bomb or criminal who will be sentenced to death in 48 hours if not proven innocent, this really adds to the pace of the book. Lighting used in thrillers usually are low key lighting. The lighting is used to set mood of the scenes and match the setting as well. This is used the most for a big dramatic effect. Camera angles most used in thriller films are low angles, high angles, close-up shots, long shots, point-of-view shots, and over the shoulder shots. The low angle is used to make the person appear more domina

 The first genre that my group will be researching is drama.  Lighting used in drama are usually three-point or high key lighting. The lighting is used to set the mood of the scene and match the setting. Camera angles used in drama films are low angle, high angle, and canted angle. Low angle is used to make the person appear more confident. High angle is used to do the exact opposite of what low angles does for the actor. High angle makes the actor appear more vulnerable and less confident. Canted angle is used to add a dramatic effect on the screen. It is known to further express chaos or the madness appearing in the scene. Camera movements used in drama films are tilt, pan and reverse zoom. These movements are all used to further emphasize the mood in the scene. Makeup, costumes and props varies because of the different types of drama films. Drama films can include other genres and still be known as a drama because of its many conflicts and plots. Sounds in dramas can vary. There can
