Movie Research: Don't Worry Darling

What conventions of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? 

 

  • Don't Worry Darling is a dystopian thriller which follows many conventions of the genre. Firstly, there was much use of over the shoulder and point of view shots. These shots made it seem like that the stakes for the characters were also the stakes of the audience. This increases the suspense for the audience increasing engagement. 

 

 

What conventions of the genre did the movie have that you liked? 

 

  • This movie included many establishing and wide shots to show the intricate set and show the isolation of the characters. We plan to include this convention in our film to establish loneliness and fear for the characters. Secondly, this film included all types of lighting however there was much use of low-key lighting at the end which we would like to include in our film. This type of lighting highlights the paranoia the characters feel, which is perfect for our film. 

 

What conventions of the genre did the movie have that did not appeal to you and you are thinking of not filming for your final task? 

 

  • This thriller followed a dystopian or conspiracy narrative, as many do. We agreed to not go this route in our thriller as that type of blog takes much time to develop. Additionally, this film included many birds eye view angles. As much as we would love to include this convention, it is a relatively difficult shot to film as we would need a drone of flying device of some sort.

 Its official, pre-production has officially begun! To recap the project being dealt with, Valentina, my friend and classmate, and I are making an opening sequence to a thriller. The name we chose is "What Happened Last Night" and it unravels cryptic messages linking a friend group to their secret, regretful decisions. A huge part of this opening sequence is our choice is displaying all the title's. These titles include "Produced by," "Directed by," and such. In order to display these titles in a way that establishing the movie's thriller genre, I contributed in designing items to display the titles on. This included incorporating a title on a t-shirt being removed on a clothing rack. A priority in  this production is to condense all expenses are the production team, Valentina and I, are rather low on funds. To adhere to this priority, I shopped at discount stores such as Dollar Tree and 5 Below. I found a plain t-shirt at my local dollar tree. Wit...

Fun Filming! - Finalizing filming in production

 Hey readers! I'm Jack, your editor, writing to you on expansions in production. As some of you may be aware, I am currently in the middle of production for a music video. The music video is for the song "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" by Tears for Fears. It is in collaboration with my best friends Valentina, Salome, and Francesco. Or honestly after the chaos day 1 of filming was, I'm better off saying they USED to be my best friends. All jokes of course! But going back to production, to summarize, my last update referred to my first day of filming. It wasn't the best experience and was definitely not the most productive. On the bright side, filming day 2 was a HUGE success! I invited everyone back to my house and it seems like everyone learned their lesson because to my surprise, everyone was on time! This allowed us to wrap up filming! For day 2, I continued my role as a supporting actor to Salome, the main girl. Part of filming today involved me creating th...
