Critical Reflection

My short film for A-level Aice Media Studies was titled “The Beaten Path”. The film was about a man who was simply following his daily routine and going for a run when he came across a dead body on the path. The film details the following few days in which the police are involved, the body is covered up, and the killer is exposed. The film challenged conventions by showing corruption within employment. The killer was discovered to be the very same park ranger that was alerted to the body in the first place, allowing him time to dispose and cover up his tracks before the police could investigate. This shows how even the people we trust and look to for help could be something unexpected and that we need to be careful with who is trusted and who is hired for important positions in the world. There are important background checks that are commonly overlooked when certain applications are submitted for employment. The effects that this can have point towards corruption and can only lead t...

Short film research: Jet, Thriller Genre

AICE Media Studies - Title Research: Uncharted

Image
  I first began my discoveries by researching on   watchthetitles.com.  I looked through many films that fit our group's genre of choice, action, and I came across various numbers of movies with great title sequences. One that caught my eye was Uncharted because it is a 1-year-old movie, and it has a very action and thrilling look to its entirety. It is clear with bright colors to contrast, bold, and eye-catching with assorted designs and activities clothing featured. Beginning before the opening sequence the Colombia logo appears on the screen amidst a bright blue sky with clouds scattered and a rainbow ring. It then transitions to a black screen that leads to a statue of a globe being held up for the atlas entertainment logo. In the opening sequence it shows the main actor falling in the sky behind a plane and this a foreshadow which is a common technique used in movies to give a taste of what is to come. It goes to an action cut scene which goes back to the start of hi...
