Convention Research: Godzilla Vs. Kong

  •  Some conventions we saw in Godzilla vs Kong were the use of high angles, and low angles with camera shots that help add to how the character is viewed. It also gave us lots of wide shots, and pan shots to see what is going on in the scene. Lots of diegetic sounds, as well as incidental music give the audience more of a view into the scene. The movie uses a lot of eye-line matches when there is dialogue between characters, as well as reverse shots and action shots. The sets and props are also well designed in the movie to look realistic. 
  • In the movie, we liked how most of the camera angles were used. The low and high angles helped add a dramatic factor to the movie. The use of diegetic sounds gave the audience a better idea of where the movie currently is, for example, the wave sounds used in the scene where the characters were in the ocean. Another aspect of the movie that we liked was the props and sets and how well they were designed. This movie helped give us a lot of ideas of what to do in our opening sequences.  
  • Some aspects that did not appeal to us were how the dialogue took over most of the movie, and how it messed with action shots. Also, how it overused a lot of pan shots in the movie, causing it to become regular. There were also a lot of close-ups in the movie, in places where it did not need to be. The movie was great overall but there could have been more emotional scenes with some of the characters that could add to the plot. While we will not be able to add any CGI to our film, we will use a lot of other concepts in this film that have inspired us.

 My name is Taylor Lamont. It is currently the second semester of school and with that we are starting out final task. I am so excited to start this. I love to see the progress i've made throughout the year in this class. I am extremely excited to start this project and out everything I have learned this year to make this my best production yet. Scheduling might be a little harder this time of year due to the start of my lacrosse season. Although having to work around it is a small bump in the road, I just have to manage my time wisely and i'll be okay. Anyways, I should probably introduce myself again. I am a sophomore at Fort Lauderdale High School. I am currently 15 and my hobbies range from sports to listening to music. My favorite sport to watch is football and hockey.

Today, I browsed our options for available music. We looked at sounds available to use without credits. Doing this we found some we liked. However, we still chose to research the things needed to get credits for a specific song or sound. To get these credits, you need to email the company with the rights to the specific thing you want and ask them for permission to use it. You have to be very specific on what you want the rights for. They may take a while to answer so we emailed them as soon as we knew what song we wanted to use. Until we have received an email allowing us to access the rights. We have come up with a back up plan. I browsed the available sound effects on Imovie to find one that would fit with our movie. It has a retro sci-fi beat. Making it the perfect addition to our movie if we cannot get the proper credits needed. Finding the sounds on Imovie was a simple process as all of them were titled and separated into different categories. The sound titles were very specific....

Hi, my name is Taylor Lamont. I am fifteen and I am currently a sophomore at Fort Lauderdale High School. I am currently taking AICE Media Studies AS level. This class has always intrigued me and I was even more interested when my brother took it last year. The idea of film making and the process behind it is interesting and I wanted to learn the process myself. Some things about me are I play lacrosse for the school and a travel team. I've been playing since last year. I play attack and I scored my first goal last season. Now that we are back in school it has been easier to manage and maintain my grades. My favorite subjects i'm taking this year are anatomy and AICE Media Studies. In my free time I like to watch Netflix, hang out with friends, play with my dog, listen to music and play video games. My favorite genre of music is country but I will listen to anything. My favorite video games at the moment are Call of Duty, Minecraft, NBA 2k and Madden. My favorite shows are How ...
