Convention research of Love Simon

 Camera- 

Tends to follow the subject more than I remember.

Angles-

head and upper-body shots. 3/4 head angles a lot for the actors.

Movement-

Moves around more than I thought it would.

Costumes-

Simple, jeans and jackets mostly. There is a Halloween costume scene with fun costumes as well.


Lighting-

Kept bright or at least well lit for the majority. Flashback scene is more muted.

Acting-

Sincere. vary by character, each of them feels unique.

Makeup-

Nothing extraordinary, very lightweight, a bit brighter for the women.

Props-

Not the laptop as much as what's on them, text conversations and emails

Set-

Sticks to either the school or Simons ( Protags ) home.  His room feels a lot like my own room, very 'average young person'.


Editing-

Voices get louder when closer to the camera and vice versa, or if important. Texting sounds are quite loud as well.

Sound-

Doesn't over-do the music. The music itself is very tech-y. No instruments i can pinpoint, but very pretty to listen to.


Once I noticed it I couldn't stop noticing the use of the 3/4 head angle, so less of that might have been nice. I did however l like the texting sound edits,  thought it helped with immersion.
