Genre Research: Pixels

 

 Pixels is that movie that has Pac-Man and Donkey Kong. It came out a few years ago starring Adam Sandler and I watched it in theaters. Watching it again it was pretty good actually. It was a little goofy and had some corny moments, but It was a movie that I enjoyed. The plot was decent, the movie had some comedy elements along with the sci fi and overall was enjoyable. I will admit that this movie wasn't perfect, but I had a lot of fun watching it. This movie didn't teach me too much for what my movie should be like. Since it was very comedy based I wouldn't consider it as something to base my movie off of. Although it was a pleasurable experience It wasn't so amazing that I want to base my golden calf movie off of it. I want the golden calf to be a little more serious than pixels. The element I most liked in this movie was definitely the use of comedy. This movie was very different for a sci fi movie and I appreciated all the jokes used in it. Another thing I really liked were the references to video games. In this movie aliens have recreated video games and this made for some really cool references to games that I've played. My least favorite element was probably the progression of the movie. How each scene transitioned to another always seemed odd to me. Overall this was a really fun movie, It didn't help a ton with my research but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Music Video

   Here it is, the Yon Yonson music video. After quite a bit of recording and editing the video is finally here to watch. The video is basically a 20 second song looping with slight differences each time. The first time I play the ukulele in the first scene and lip sync the words of the song. After that I use a clip of a passerby asking for Yon Yonson's name.  The kind stranger who asks for Yon Yonson's name is none other than Barack Obama! Due to the lack of actors available for recording I could not do the street passerby scene. As a replacement for this I used video clips from other media and tried to lip sync them with the song lyrics. Unfortunately the lip syncing wasn't perfect due to time constraints, but It worked well enough. In the next scene I play the accordion in the same basic position as the first scene. If you couldn't tell from me playing the ukulele, you could definitely tell that I don't have musical talent from how I played the accordion. Althoug

Genre Research: Action

  This video is my PowerPoint presentation about action movies. The video above lists lots of things that are used in action films. I've always really liked watching action movies so this was my first choice of genre to write about. Most of my favorite movies are action movies so I like to think that I know a good deal about them. The first slide of this PowerPoint is about how lighting is used in action movies. Lighting is used to create atmosphere, for instance dark lighting is used to create gloomy more serious mood. Bright lighting on the other hand is used for more peaceful scenes. Bright lighting isn't commonly used in action movies since it doesn't fit with the violence taking place. The camera angles of action movies are usually dramatic in order to fit the action that's taking place in the movie. Mid shots are used quite often in order to show all the characters at once. This is done so that the viewer can see all the action that is taking place in the film. Wi

That's basically the general happenings of my life so far but there's sti
