Film Opening: Research Blog Post - Genre Research

Genre Research

Sports Film:

Conventions:

This genre's conventions include elements such as when movies are an emotional rollercoaster. This is where the main character, or several characters, go through both good and bad situations throughout the movie. Another element is the training montage. Most sports films consist of characters trying to get better over the course of a certain time, where it is cut into clips of the characters' training.
 

Codes: 

Camera

Close-ups/medium shots to show emotion and tension. Slow motion during key plays. Tracking shots following movement of the player or the ball. Point-of-view shots during matches

Sound

Upbeat, motivational soundtrack especially during training montages or when a person is winning (varies between diegetic and non-diegetic). Diegetic crowd noise. Silence before crucial moments

Editing

Fast-paced cuts during games or practices. Training montages to show improvement which again involves a lot of cuts. Cutting between spectators and players to show reactions.

Mise-en-scene

Sports uniforms and equipment. Locker rooms, stadium, or just a park with a soccer field setting.. Sweat, mud, dirt, or grass on the players to show realism.

CCR #1:  How does your product use or challenge conventions, and how does it represent social groups or issues? CCR #1:  Hello, my name is Ryan Jurdi, and this is my answer to CCR #1  and to be creative with this CCR I will be  acting like a newscaster.   First,   let's  start off with  how my project used conventions.  O ne of the  ways I used the conventions of the original  s ong music video is through the setting of where the music video takes place.  In that music video it took place in a bedroom and  similarly  my music video also had parts of it take place in  my  bedroom even though two scenes did take place i n my living room .  Another convention I used was the sound s in my music video since it just  contained  the lyrics and the  music’s  beat which is what the original music video did too.  Now, what conventions did I challenge?
