Research 6

Hello Blog!

Over the weekend I spoke with my group members and they gave me some info that they gathered from feedback from their groups on Friday's group discussions. From these discussions they gathered that they should research some movies from the drama genre to gain inspiration on how to better implement suspense.

Our group came across The Godfather for inspiration since it is regarded by many as the best drama movie of all time. From this great film we gained many ideas from the techniques used throughout. One of these techniques is the quick camera movements used throughout the film. These camera movements emphasize on action even through still scenes. This builds tension and keeps audiences engaged throughout the whole scene.

Another thing The Godfather does well is it's implementation of soundtrack. The Godfather uses the soundtrack to tie into the emotions of the scene and emphasizes the emotion in audiences. We can use this same technique by implementing music in some scenes of our opening. This can heighten emotions which are very important in our genre.
