Title Research: The Forever Purge

 I found the opening scene of The Forever purge on YouTube.

What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? 

The titles displayed begin with :who presents, in association with, and the production studio. Then it ends with the title of the movie. This intro scene does not incorporate the actors names however which I find strange. There was plenty of time to show the actors names but most of the scenes were wordless. 

What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?

Scary images are shown throughout the whole opening scene. The images are animated or drawings, not real life figures. The scenes begin with a normal picture then transitions to the same picture but made scary. The images also incorporate certain people in a certain setting so maybe it is alluding to the real settings the film is set in.

What connotations do these images carry?

The images are very alarming. I think they foreshadow disaster in the film. It is known that the Purge series are about destruction and violence so I think this fits the genre.

How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?

Thrillers are supposed to make the audience feel uneasy. These images do this. The purge is a scenario that is very possible, so the film has a horrifying, unsettling feel to it especially with the dark images shown. The images are red and the audience may associate this with blood. Blood most of the time does not mean a good thing. This sense of setting a scary setting makes the watcher want to know what exactly happens and maybe take tips from it if it become a real-life situation.

What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?

News reports that have worrying information makes the audience listen to things potentially happening in the movie, this makes the audience want to continue watching. Using the red color and showing things on fire resembles chaos, this can pull the watchers in even more.

How has technology been used effectively?

The transitions used between the normal pictures and the red pictures make it scarier because they are harsh and a static noise is used everytime there is a transition. There is also new reports playing the whole scene and they depict scary events happening. Slow dollies are used to show the setting even more. I like how they're slow to appeal to the suspenseful feeling.

Last Minute Filming

Image
 Today I filmed some extra stuff for the film and some things I just forgot to film. I forgot to film the part where Avery's mother, father, and brother run to the scream that they heard. So, I filmed that. Also, I forgot to film the bit where Avery's mom calls 911. So I filmed that with a close up of her calling. Previously when I was editing I noticed my film was running short. To fix this, I filmed a part where Avery's dad shakes hands with the detective. I think I will end the film with that clip. Another way to fix this is I filmed a part where Avery walks and sits down at her desk and starts writing. Hopefully this will make my film the right size. The filming process was fairly easy. I had to make sure the set was the same. To do this I cleaned the room we filmed in. It was, however, a struggle to get my actors together. Whenever Sebastian wasn't busy Izzy was. And vice versa. I had to create a group chat so they they could situate when they were both not busy. T...

Thriller for the Win

Image
 My decision for my film is to be thriller based. Even though it's not my favorite type of movie to watch, I think it would be fun to film. My pitch is also a type to be thriller because it is a murder mystery. I didn't want it to be a comedy because I don't think I could come up with a funny script. It also wouldn't be good as a romance because someone got murdered, not engaged. I am excited to make my thriller movie. I don't think I will take the route where its super scary though. I think I am just going to make is ominous and keep the audience on their toes. I already know I am going to incorporate screaming. I am also thinking of making the lighting dark when the detective is interrogating the suspects. I also have the perfect setting for it to take place, my boyfriends house. His house is very open and has many rooms for the suspects to have alibis. Thriller involves many different shots and types of editing so I think it will be easy to complete the mandatory...

 Hi, my name is Ariel Pickholtz. I am 16 years old, and I am a junior at Fort Lauderdale High School. I love to go thrifting, hanging out at the beach, and spending time with my friends and family in my freetime. I also love doing photography and videography. I have a cat that lays next to me everytime I do homework on my bed. I also enjoy playing tennis and watching football games. One film I can really appreciate is Avatar because it is so ahead of its time and it's very interesting. I also love the movie Rio for their amazing soundtrack. I decided to take AICE media studies because I like films and I wanted to see everything that goes into them. I wanted to learn why directors make certain choices when putting together the film and what certain cuts and angles are supposed to make the viewer feel.  I also heard that the teachers were very good at teaching the subject. I am excited to learn everything about the filming process as well as make my own films. I'm excited to wor...
