Get Out Movie Blog

  For the next movie that we decided to research in the thriller genre is Get Out. Get Out is a horror thriller that was released in 2017. A basic synopsis of the movie is that a black man is meeting his white girlfriends’ parents for the first Tim. He thinks that the reason that her parents are nervous is because of their interracial relationship. He soon discovers that isn't the case, and that her family transplants their brains into other people’s bodies to live longer as well as for their physical characteristics. So, he then must find a way to get out. The movies main message is about racism. The film consistently uses POV shots in order to put yourself in Chris’s (main character) position and look through his eyes. One example of this is when Chris is outside and he sees movement in the grass, we then see him squint and then we see a POV shot of a man running towards him. This shot makes the watcher feel like they are in the situation and that the man is running towards them. The certain shot builds suspense/fear of what is going to happen. Another use of a POV shot in the movie is when Chris is in the "sunken place"(dark place in his mind) he can see the world through a screen. We then get the POV to make it feel as though we are there, and we can see how he is seeing things. 

 The movies also uses quite a few close up shots. Within the movie they are used to show extreme feeling and importance/significance in the movie. An example of this is when Chris is being hypnotized and there is a close up on his face. Within that close up we can vividly see how he is feeling. We can see how scared, afraid, and conceded he is about his current situation. We the audience can feel the what he was feeling through that shot. The movie also has multiple uses of certain sound techniques to enhance the film. For example to film have constant uses of diagetic sound and non- diagetic sounds that are used throughout the film. They are used to bring the viewer an uneasy feeling while watching, among other things.

 To begin, I'd like to acknowledge that filming began and concluded today, and I couldn't be happy than I am right now. Now that it's over, I'm relieved of a lot of worry, and I'm looking forward to seeing everything edited. When we were trying to film, there were a lot of stressful and annoying moments, but I'm glad we were able to get through them. There have been so many issues involving groupmates being irritated by one another, and I'm glad we can finally get this resolved. I really didn't like staying after school to go to the park to film but hey it got the job done and I barely made it home before the sun went down so it was a win win. On both sides I'm sure all groupmates felt the same way about our plans on filming. To be really honestly No matter how much I rather be at home its was quite enjoyable to spend time after school with friends. It was nice to mess around and laugh while filming. It was awkward when more people arrived at the par...

 Props - For this music video, we decided on going for a story that follows a group of friends that slowly fall apart as one person drifts away. Since we want to capture a scene with the friends on the beach, beach towels, hats and beach balls will be present. Costumes - This part will be very easy in our opinion as we will have regular swimming wear or just causal clothing. Though their will be scenes that won't be on the beach so their might be changes in clothing. For the swimming wear, it will completely up to the actors of what they are comfortable on wearing this shoot. Nothing to covered or revealing will be disagreed upon as the actors concern worths more. I'm sure most outfits people would chose are short pants with a t-shirt. Schedule - Be aware that these dates might not accurate as we will need to see for ourselves if these can work with our schedules. 11/16/2021, our group will finalize our ideas of what we want for this project. 11/17/2021, our group will gather t...

  What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?A title sequence (also known as an opening sequence or intro) is a means of presenting a film or television show's title, as well as important production and cast members, through the use of innovative graphics and sound (often an opening theme song with visuals, akin to a brief music video). This is often seen in fiction work like Harry Potter and is often seen in their movies and many other ones as well.   What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? In harry potter, there would be clips and images of characters that will take a big role in the film. Usually these characters are the main three, Harry, Ron and hermione. These being placed in the title screen or the opening gives credit where it's due for the audience to gather their attention and the crew mates as well.   What connotations do these images carry? According to cultural convention, imagery can represent feelings and mood. Words, soun...
