Genre Research: Get Out

Our second movie choice was Get Out, a film produced in 2017. This thriller movie was based on the idea of racism. Its starts off with an interracial couple named Chris and Rose who are the meet the parents stage. Chris agrees to meet Roses' parents upstate, but is initially hesitant because he is the first black guy she has ever dated. After arriving to Chris notices small details that are out of place. Roses' large family are accompanied by maids and butlers and servants due to them having such wealth. he only issue is that every single one of these workers just so happen to be black. These workers are arranged in the house almost too perfectly, never without a smile, and do everything as their told down to the T. After Chris is at the house long enough he realizes one too many things, but it may be too late for him. Rose reveals her plan that he was just a pawn to become her next family's slave, and with her fathers help, he gets transferred to the sunken place. In this world Chris has no control over himself and is completely taken over by whatever Roses' father wants him to do. After they attempt to capture him as well he makes a great escape to save his life. This movie has similarities between our film, because both of our characters were betrayed by their loved ones. Chris was in love, thought he had the women of his dreams, only to be blindsided by their racist intent. In out film the mother of her son trusts her bestfriend with everything and hopes she has her back always, this turns out to be the biggest mistake of her life. Elements that I liked in the movie Get Out is the concept. I liked the way the movie was trying to address underlying racist issues. I also like the way they incorporated that into this movie, and it is by far one of my favorites. What I did not like about this movie is the way Chris was so naïve. He waited too long o questions the intention of Rose and her family. Personally I would have been out the door the second I saw a group of black people working for a family.

Intro to Aice Media Studies

 My name is Suzie Louis, I’m in 11th grade and I just turned 16 2months ago #cancergang. I’m the middle of 2 siblings, and older and a younger brother, they irritate the living life out of me but I’m not sure what I would do without them, they’re my only source of entertainment. I'm a very loud person, not so much vocally, but personality wise, I love to have fun and make the best of situations good or bad. I enjoy watching lots of Disney plus, eating, watching Tiktok’s and lounging around. Since Quarantine I’ve become obsessed with Marvel movies, I’ve rewatched the Avenger movies once a week, and at this point I’m reciting lines from memory. I’m trying to find a new hobby, and I’m thinking about doing nail art, I’ve seen lots of videos online and I want to try to learn even though I know it’s going to be difficult. As far as this year goes, I’ve spent the last 6-7 months indoors which absolutely sucks, but I’ve made the best of it. This month I got my eyebrows micro-bladed for the...

2nd Location Filming Blog

 We talked about the process at our first filming location. Now I am going to discuss our second filming location. We went to my partner's house. Where we filmed the other half of our opening sequence. We started as soon as we arrived at her house. We had just previously left the park. The lighting no longer mattered because we were filming the rest inside. We checked for or props. All we needed was a hammer and notes My partner supplied that at her house. Next, we did touch-ups. We also did outfit changes. We did this because we wanted to make it seem like it was a different day in the film.  We went over the script for the other two scenes to make sure we had it down pact. Filming at my partner's house was easier than the park. We didn't have to refilm that much. Maybe about 2 or 3 times. Since my brother who played Jackson wasn't in the next two scenes it was much easier. It was more difficult to film at the park with him. He wasn't a problem anymore. After we fi...

Planning Storyboard for Music Video

Image
For the storyboard, my partner and I came up with 2 separate halves of the storyboard and put them together below. Just as in my last storyboard, I am a terrible drawer, but I did try my hardest on my drawings. I drew the top half, my partner drew the bottom half. I will start by explaining that we want to start our commercial off with us being in the park and then moving to my partner,  Fatima's house. We establish the setting of our first location, in the story board, being the park. I also did a drawing of the next part of our music video, us having a picnic at the park. We have decided to incorporate props with the idea by having a picnic setup, with the blanket and basket, and well even be eating food/using it as a prop. After we have our picnic we will do the other half of our music video in another location. I We will be filming ourselves heading to the other location, walking and talking like normal friends do. At my partners house we will start our other half of the music ...
