Casting Auditions


 As you can see, there are a plethora of differences between the actors and the original shooting site. We had considered recording on the stone bench where the tape is located above, but my teacher then stated that it seemed extremely professional and not at all informal because it was heavily scripted and took place during a formal conference. Later, we relocated to an area where the actors could act more casually. Due to scheduling conflicts between their classes, which we cannot have, it was challenging to locate the actors. Fortunately, we were able to find all of the performers who were willing to participate and worked with us through to the end, even if some of them were unable to meet up to remain until 6 p.m.

Behind the Lens: The Quirky Path of Neha's Media Journey

Hello, fellow humans! I am your not-so-average-girl named NEHA ASHOK RAJ. I am the kind of person who leaves people’s faces appalled after telling them the subjects I’ve decided to pursue: English, Sociology, Global Perspectives, and Media Studies. It’s surprising how I’ve changed my focus from science to commerce to humanities. I've always wondered what my future career might be. Then, I had an epiphany. Since I was young, I’ve always been intrigued by editing. I still remember the first edit I made using my mother’s phone. At that time, I wanted to become a YouTuber, creating gaming content, especially editing and posting it. Since it was so long ago and I’ve matured (compared to the past), I realized there’s more to editing than I initially thought. Heck, it’s a workout for those who lack patience and tolerance, and that’s something that still tests me to this very day. I am not a professional photographer or videographer, but I guarantee that I’m pretty good at it. My photograp...

Genre Conventions

My team and I conducted our own research and analyzed the key elements present in each genre. I have put together a spreadsheet that breaks down each genre, covering its common themes, character types, cinematography, sound, mise-en-scène, editing, and a reference movie. I have analyzed seven genres: action, horror, comedy, thriller, sci-fi, romance, and mystery. Starting with action, it typically revolves around themes of injustice or revenge. often leading to chaos or even the potential end of the world. This appeals to audiences as it blends familiar elements with unexpected twists, making the outcome less predictable. Moving on to my favorite—horror. As the name suggests, jump scares and supernatural entities are essential. Though I get scared to death and take ages to recover, I absolutely love the genre—just not enough to watch it alone at night! While the introduction and plot often follow a familiar pattern, what keeps me on edge is the process of confronting the entity—or whe...

Textual Analysis #1

In my whole life, I never thought I would be in a position to sit down and do an analysis of my favourite cartoon series. First of all, in order to begin to analyze, I took the simplest, but at the same time the most time-consuming type of media. I might be judged for choosing a kids’ show, but I am still a kid at heart, and I still watch cartoons that I like from time to time. It is almost like a way of keeping my inner child alive and the program I have chosen for my analysis is Paw Patrol. It may be twenty minutes long, or it may not look like much, but the analysis as we know it is a long process, especially for a movie! I don’t know if I can watch cartoons the same way I used to but in a way, this has also helped me learn a skill that I will definitely use in the future.  ANALYSIS Camera Shots & Angles: Wide shots; Close-ups; Tracking shots; Over-the-shoulder shots; Low-angle shots; High-angle shots; Long shot; Medium shot; Medium close shot; Established shot; Aerial Shot;...
