Movie Convention: What happened to monday?

 Genre Research: What Happened to Monday?

The elements and conventions of the dystopian genre of "What Happened to Monday?" depict a seemingly perfect society masking oppressive control and forcing the characters to uncover hidden truths. Other conventions from both movies focus purely on what the future will uphold and different theories of what the future will perceive.

Some conventions I liked about the movie "What Happened to Monday?" were how there were children born on each day of the week, and how the society they live in now is only accepting of one child belonging to a parent. Another convention is when the sisters lose one of them to the government and they all end up working together to uncover the truth and expose the moral cost of the system's illusion of order for one child

Some conventions of the movie I did not like are how they're being excessively violent, it was very graphic. Another convention was the lack of character depth and how it focuses more on the action than the sisters themselves.

For this film, my group and I used my own camera. So, I had to transfer the videos to my phone and edit the movie. This was a lengthy process but I did a good job. I got all the clips, good and bad, and watched all of them. I got the best clips and left the bloopers and unnatural clips behind. Once I got all the clips and cut some of them for smoother transitions from each scene. I then made sure the lighting was perfect. In some of the clips I did have to edit the coloring to make it appear a little brighter but also still keep that weary effect by making it have a little shadow-like effect.  With that, I moved on to the sounds. For the scene where I am in bed in silence, I wanted to have a glass-breaking sound. So, what I did was when my group went to break the glass for the next scene I recorded the sound on my phone. I then layered that sound onto the film and it came out just as I imagined.

Film Websites and Postcards

  When researching film websites and postcards, I found a website and a postcard for the movie Love, Rosie. The website is pretty simple. It includes the postcard with all the information about the movie, including: Genre: Comedy, Romance; Director: Christian Ditter;  and  Producers:  Robert Kulzer and Simon Brooks. It also included a short description of the movie and a trailer. I liked the addition of the description of the movie, so those who haven't watched it can read it and get intrigued to watch it. Although I think the website itself should've included more information.  The postcard for Love, Rosie included the main actors in an embrace, the title design up front, the actors' names, and a short sentence on the movie topic. I especially liked the short, singular sentence because it can attract people to the movie by making them wonder what it could mean. There wasn't anything I didn't particularly enjoy. For my group mates and my webs...
