We chose this scene from "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" because this movie gave us so much nostalgia since we grew up watching it. This scene from the movie was one of our favorite scenes all together and many kids from our generation have tried to recreate it on social media, so we wanted a chance to try to recreate the scene, especially since we had all the resources that we needed from being in this class. Most of the time whenever we film, we try to film at one of our houses so it can be easier and we won't have to stay longer at school than we needed to. But once we realized that we needed to do this scene in school, we realized how much easier it was to be able to film. The experience of filming this was much more fun since we got to get a lot of our friends to be in it and there were many scenes where people were running. We also learned a better way to put a voice over on our recordings, since in this scene one of the characters was narrating the story about the "cheese touch".


Creating the cheese was also a fun experience. It was the first film where we had to create a prop and we realized how easy it was and it was also great practice of making props for our film opening. Since in our film opening we want to create many things as props. The editing for this film was also harder than our other films that we had done and it was great practice for transitions since we want to make transitions in our film opening.


Being able to get one of our friends mom allow us to film her car driving away wasn't as hard that we thought it would be. Her cooperation with it was amazing, especially since my partners and I didn't have cars of our own. We didn't do many takes of her driving away because we didn't want to waste her to and also because it was an easy shot to do. Overall, the experience of recreating the "cheese touch" scene from "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" was very fun.

Planning My Creative and Critical Process

  Blog #13: Our film that we created is called "Malfeasance". We chose the name of our title since our film is a traditional crime film with mystery elements about a detective that has been put on a murder case, which he is determined to solve, and the definition of "malfeasance" is an act that is illegal and causes physical or monetary harm to someone else, and is a synonym to the word crime. Moreover, the film follows the detective investigating a specific suspect, which is a very popular high school girl who is heavily connected to the victim of the case. Additionally, a common theme of the film is that no one is to be trusted in the town, everyone is suspicious. Our mise-en-scene was to be in the mannerisms of young adults today and their style nowadays as well, which is using slang and wearing streetwear. But the mannerism of the of the main suspect, Alexis, is nervous and she seems like she is trying to hide something.  The detective is wearing more office clo...

  Blog #6:         The company that my group thought was the best fit for our film opening was the 20th Century Studios that is under the Disney company. We believed it was the best fit because our film opening's genre is a traditional crime film with elements of a myste ry film and the 20th Century Studios has made multiple crime films that have become successful like "The Woman in the Window". The film was a notable success at the box office and had a very positive average rating. The budget for the film was around $40 million and made positive rating which marked the last Hollywood film before they went under the Disney company.

Genre FIlm Script Analysis

  Blog #9: The genre that my group chose for our opening scene was a traditional crime genre with some mystery elements added to it. The movie that I picked is the same genre, a crime mystery film, that is called "The Godfather". Some elements the screenwriter established in the opening scene is the intensity of the situation establishing where the two characters are sitting and their body language in the scene. Bonasera is the one replaying the intense situation to Don and the screenwriter establishes the mise en scene by saying that Bonasera sitting at the front of Don's desk facing the camera and explaining that Don is sitting at the front of the desk petting a cat to show dominance over the conversation. At the end of the scene Bonasera calls Don "Godfather" which helps set the mood of the whole film by establishing how powerful Don is. On the script it only establishes where everyone is placed but in the actual film the intensity of the conversation and who...
