Movie Research: Nerve

Hello World,

A movie that I used for research was Nerve.

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

- Some conventions of the genre I chose to base my final task on that this movie has are the costumes and the shots, specifically point-of-view shots. In this movie, the characters wore a casual wardrobe for most of the movie which would make it easier on us when we begin filming to prevent as many extraneous variables as we can. This film includes multiple point-of-view shots which help the audience feel the character's suspense and create an exhilarating effect. These shots would help us create an accurate, suspenseful, exciting, and exhilarating effect on viewers. 

 

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

- A convention of the genre that this movie had that I liked was the sound motifs. In this movie every time the characters that played the viewers in the movies went up it kept making a specific sound. This helps the film audience know what to expect when they hear that specific sound, and it also increases the sense of thrill because in the movie the viewer count or the sound motif comes on when the characters are doing something suspenseful and/or exciting. 

 

3. 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? 

- Some conventions of the genre that the movie had that did not appeal to me and I'm not considering filming for my final task were the editing and the setting. Throughout this movie, there were multiple different settings and multiple settings in which we would have a difficult time finding, and multiple settings where it could become too dangerous. Lastly, the editing in this movie was very detailed, and complex which added to the creativity and appeal but could just as easily have gone without. For my final task I believe this complex editing will not be needed nor will it suit my final task. 

Until next time!!!

Hello World, Let's get to adding the finishing touches to the film. First, I went straight to the easiest tweak to get it over with, the spooky scene. Like I mentioned before, my mom said that it was too fast, so I slowed it down a bit. Rather than having the speed at 1.2x, I brought it down to 1.1x. By adjusting it the slightest bit, it made it better to notice and see spooky yet not interfere with the length of the video. Next, I went through and found every scene that included dialogue. One of the feedback that I received was that the music was too loud whoever the characters were talking. So, I lowered the volume a bit for every scene that involved talking. This took a while because only a small amount of scenes had no audio or conversation, meaning I had to edit the volume on post of the scenes. This process wasn't too bad but it took a good chunk of time, but the worst was yet to come. Fixing the timing of the titles was definitely the most time consuming adjustment I had...

Hello World, It's time for feedback. I first went to my parents to show them my film and get their opinions of it. My mom liked it a lot, but some things that she said was that the subtitles were going by too fast. Due to the how quick the subtitles appeared and disappeared from the scene, she was barely able to read what was written. Another comment that she had was that the scene where spooky appears in Daniel's room was too fast as well. According to her, she didn't really notice that spooky was in the room due to how fast the scene was. My dad didn't have much to critic about the film other than that he didn't like the transition to the flashback. He said it was too dramatic and it didn't really fit the film. He also suggested that instead of the Giovanna and Spooky facing the same way, we should invert Giovanna's phone call scene to make it look like they are actually talking to one another. That was the only feedback that they had about the film. When ...
