What is the final idea for the project?
Describe your final project in detail. What is the genre you are focusing on? What is the narrative (linear or non-linear) and storyline for your project? What themes and representation will be showcased in your project? What are you excited about? Worried about?
The genre we are focusing is a horror romance genre. This will be a linear narrative focusing on the theme feminism and to not judge a book by its cover. It will be about a girl getting ready for a date with a guy with many jump-cuts but little does she know the guy is a serial killer. I am very excited to film this because I feel it will be very interesting and I have never attempted to do this genre. I am also worried that it may be difficult doing the lighting to match this genre to do a horror romance scene.
Genre
The movies featuring Deadpool and Wolverine mostly fall into the superhero and action genres, but they also mix in elements of comedy and drama. Deadpool often breaks the fourth wall and jokes about typical superhero clichés, bringing a comedic, almost satirical tone. On the other hand, Wolverine’s movies, especially Logan, have a darker, more serious side, dealing with themes of loss and redemption. This combination of genres works well, as Deadpool’s humor balances Wolverine’s darker themes. Fans who love action but also want some humor find this mix entertaining and refreshing.
Narrative
The plots of Deadpool and Wolverine movies focus on battles, both against villains and their own personal struggles. Deadpool, also known as Wade Wilson, uses humor to cope with his pain and has a chaotic, violent approach to problems. Wolverine, or Logan, faces darker issues, like dealing with his past and trying to find his place. These stories are built around conflict—whether it’s a battle against enemies or their inner demons. The main themes include resilience, revenge, and redemption, adding depth to the action and humor.
Character
Using Propp’s theory, which outlines common character types like the "hero" and the "villain," we can see that Deadpool and Wolverine don’t quite fit these typical roles. Wolverine is closer to the hero type, but Deadpool’s chaotic and morally gray personality makes him more of an antihero. Wolverine’s character also evolves, especially in Logan, as he goes from being a lone fighter to someone who reluctantly protects others. This complexity makes both characters interesting and attracts audiences who enjoy layered, unpredictable characters.
My mood board for my horror movie creates a creepy, scary atmosphere that uses classic horror elements in a fresh way. It has images of eerie, empty places with dark blue lighting that makes everything feel cold and unsettling. This color gives a feeling of loneliness and fear, which is common in horror movies that aim to keep viewers nervous and alert. The settings include foggy forests, abandoned buildings, and underground tunnels—places where monsters could be hiding just out of sight. Each of these places adds a sense of mystery and fear to my movie’s world, making viewers worry about what might be hiding in the shadows.
The mood board also includes props that add to the suspense and danger in the story. For example, there’s an old lantern that suggests dim, flickering light in the dark, making it hard for the characters to see what’s around them. There’s also an axe, which could be a tool for survival or a dangerous weapon, showing that characters are threatened by both monsters and maybe other people, too. These props aren’t just for decoration; they help create a feeling of urgency and fear in each scene. I’m drawn to these elements because they let me explore themes of fear and survival, which are what I love about the horror genre.
Everything on my mood board shows the style and feeling of a horror movie, using color and design to create a dark, creepy world. The characters wear dark costumes, which blend them into the shadows and make them seem like part of the setting. This choice also creates tension because the characters are often hard to see until they step into the light, possibly facing something dangerous. These elements together make the mood board a great reflection of the horror theme in my movie, capturing the eerie and suspenseful atmosphere I want. It’s the perfect tool to help me keep the tone consistent as I create the story.
Expert- The story is interesting and draws you in with its creative energy. In the movie Scott Pilgrim there was never a dull moment like during the fights with the seven evil exes. It has smooth transitions and very upbeat music that keeps you on edge. For example at the end when school pilgrim was fighting the final boss. The actors are always into character and are always a joy to watch. It is also known for their amazing camera work and awesome animated transitions. The movie was very high quality and entertaining I would give it a rating of 80/80.
Scene 2: In this scene Scott dreams about this girl rollerblading after feeling lost. He later sees her at a party and talks to her more. She gives him her number and tells him to hang out later. The transitions in this scene leave you feeling lost and wondering who this girl is. This scene also transitions to a low angle shot of this mysterious girl (Ramona Flowers). A low angle shot helps the character refer closer, larger, and taller. This helps emphasize how important the character is to the movie. After this is shows the quick transition of him waking up from his nap in a hurry. This is a close of his face with a quite distressed look on his face. The next day she stood up at his door with his package waiting. They get to meet each other and talk about their past with one another.
Scene 3: In this scene Scott learns Ramona has 7 exes. He discovers to date Ramona; he must defeat her “seven deadly exes.” Scott already defeats one named Mathew Patel. When fighting Mathew there were many medium close ups used in this scene. In medium close-up shots it helps capture facial expression and body language. The medium close shot help capture Scotts serious facial expressions help capture the intense emotion of the scene. Later in the scene it shows, an extreme camera shot by showing the coins dropping and focuses on only the coins. Filmmakers used extreme close-up shots to highlight an important detail you would not see otherwise. This helps the filmmaker show what they want you to focus on. The coins dropping resembles the defeat of Mathew Patel Scott caused in this scene.
Bonus scene (4); Scott defeats all 7 deadly exes and tells Ramona and Knives how he cheated on them. They both forgive him, and Knives lets him go with Ramona; after trying so long to keep them apart. This scene shows two shots used to show emotional reactions between the two subjects. These two shots help show their relationship after they walk off through an ominous door together.
