2/3/23 Vlog #12 Genre Convention or Tropes

    Tropes are a common repetitive concept in film, for example, the dumb blonde girl in horror movies always looks like she is "purposely" trying to get killed. My movie will include the trope of gangs that hate each other and both come from bad backgrounds also known as the bad boys similar to ponyboy where two groups that are mad at each other fight. My characters have been treated badly during childhood and the only way they know how to resolve things is through violence. They all hated school growing up, they were dropouts, and the only way they could find a way to make money was through committing crimes and theft. The people that are getting killed or the other group that they are mad at will be scared and intimidated as they scramble and try to figure out what they will do to defend or stop the criminals. The two thugs that the mafia boss has in his group will have the trope of them being extremely quiet and serious with their monotone faces like Morpheus and the agents in the Matrix. This creates the trope that they are quiet and focused on business and appear to be like businessmen that are getting work done. While the mafia boss only speaks when he has to and discusses with people in an organized matter making him seem professional and intimidating as another trope. But when the two thugs and the mafia boss have conversations with each other they are comfortable with each other making them look unified and part of a group. Although when a normal person or person the mafia boss doesn't know speaks to him he will speak to him with a certain tone that will make the other person scared. Some other things I can include are the thugs stealing anything they can get their hands on and giving it to the boss in exchange for money, like valuable items or devices. I want my film to have tropes included in it but break the mold to create a different feel for the viewer and not make it ordinary and basic.

1/26/23 Vlog #10 Shooting Schedules

    Shooting schedules need to be planned carefully because at any time weather or pandemics can unexpectedly occur at any moment. These issues could even delay a film, ruin a film, or the film wouldn't even be possible to publish to the public. Examples of this can be seen in Black Widow , during the pandemic this movie got delayed because of Covid-19. We will make sure to plan carefully and keep track of the weather and stay on top of other things so that way we can complete our film in time. The way we'd like to organize our shooting schedule can be shown similarly to this photo  keeping everything organized and updating things to date. We would also need to be on top of everyone else's schedules, assuming the fact that people in my group may have plans we would have to find times when everyone is available, to ensure that we will be able to film properly. Some issues with shooting may be that people might not want to cooperate and we'd have to make a completely new

1/23/23 Vlog #7 Pros and Cons of being in a group

     Being in a group and working together can be a gift and a curse. This is because one person may agree on something and someone else won't which could create conflict between the group. My group struggled with focusing and getting work done, I had some really good ideas at least I thought they were good ideas and my group disagreed with me. So we all decided to chime in and work together on something we all agreed on. This issue can be seen with James Cameron and Patty Jenkins  as it can be shown two filmmakers were disagreeing with each other. My group may disagree with each other here and there when it comes to ideas but we all have to make sure to all agree on one thing so that no one is mad at each other and we all agree on the same things. We need to improve on working faster that way when the due date comes we are ready to edit little minor problems we have and turn our stuff in. Our next project is the storyboard and scripts which means we have to sit down and talk about
