Blackfish tells the story of Tilikum, a performing killer whale that killed several people while in captivity. Along the way, director-producer Gabriela Cowperthwaite compiles shocking footage and emotional interviews to explore the creature’s extraordinary nature, the species’ cruel treatment in captivity, the lives and losses of the trainers and the pressures brought to bear by the multi-billion dollar sea-park industry. - www.blackfishmovie.com |

What is the difference between a long shot, a medium shot, and a close-up shot? How can those different shot types contribute to emitting certain emotions from the scene or the characters? How do certain film genres perpetuate stereotypes and how do tropes add to specific genres? In this lesson, all of these questions are answered. Our Tech students learned what various shot types look like and what those shot types mean in the context of the film or TV show. They learned which narrative elements make up genres like comedy, horror, and musical. They observed how tropes (recurring commonalities in one genre) are easy to find if you know what they are! For example, a trope in a Western film is a “wanted poster” or a gun with one bullet left. |
