AICE Media Studies: Genre Research: One Night In Miami

 One Night In Miami is a movie that also can be put in the drama perspective. This movie premise goes into a fictional idea of if the night of Cassius Clay's (Muhammed Ali) biggest boxing match for worlds greatest, him, Sam Cooke, Malcom X, and Jim Brown all had a summit in a hotel room. This movie fits into this genre by adding serious topics into the film. Throughout the movie the 4 icons are celebrating and everything is good, but Malcom (who is the most activist of them all) puts a ton of pressure onto Sam for not using his voice to fight racist norms at the time. Now this movie was great and I enjoyed it a lot, this movie is almost the opposite of To The Bone (the other movie I researched). That movie had sprinkles of funny and light handed moments when most of it is serious, but this movie is mainly funny and has serious undertones. This works out because it's significant points fits in the genre and makes the movie great. One element I disliked about this movie referring to the drama genre is the pacing of it. Throughout the movie it looks like the serious and stern conversations and themes are abruptly held up, and then just as quick, dissolves until around 10 minuets later. The consistency doesn't last that long but they stuck to their dramatic theme to the end, even if it seems dragged out.

Production Blog for my final task: Last editing completed: AICE Media Studies

 Hello. This will be my last blog updating my progress. The last blog will be the movie itself. I managed to finish everything that needed be done. All of the footage is put together and edited properly to fit most of the storyboard. I did have to change some thing though. Firstly, I had to take out some scenes. This was because the movie would be too long and pass the 2 minute mark. Some of the scenes taken out were in the car scene where instead of having the car moving, the car is still. The scenes are only taken from the side as nobody is in the front. The next scene at the court is also different as less angles of the court were taken because it would make the movie too long. It was also quicker too leading into the next page of the storyboard. Scene 5 was changed where instead of me falling, I just tried to block him instead. He makes the shot still. The angle is also different where it's on the side instead. I also don't kneel and just put my hands on my head and my knee...

Production Blog for my final task: Last footage: AICE Media Studies

 Hello again. From my previously blog, I talked about what footage we gathered and the next time we planned to film. However, things changed. My partner and friend had to work on the day we were supposed to film. And even though we put the day back one of them still had to work. This meant that we couldn't film. So instead we are going to file day, on on Sunday where everyone is off work. So before Sunday, I will gather footage for my car scenes. That way, we'll have all the footage of the movie. Afterwards, I will move on. We will finish up the last steps of the final task. We will take all of the footage and edit it to make our movie. I will mainly do most of the editing. My partner will help me if needed as of right now. Editing the film shouldn't take too long. I do have a little experience from my previous projects. So I have some understanding of editing a film. After filming, I will review over the film. I will check if anything is missing before finally completing t...
