2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequences? 
In the the title sequence we are shown the images of the main Character Creed, as well as his life in the boxing ring as well as the close relationships he has in his life which could include his girlfriend and his boxing mentor.

3. What connotations do these images carry?  
These images suggest the passion that Creed has for the sport of boxing as well as the struggles he has had to endure to make it to the point that he is at. It is implied that he might not be a superstar as of yet which is further supported by the many images of him working out and working on his boxing skills. 

4. How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?  
From the beginning of the title sequence the film heavily focuses on the relationship Creed has with boxing. From the hand wrapping to the boxing ring we are given a clear view that above all this is a movie that focuses on the sport of boxing. 

5. What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?
Having a clear idea that the plot of the movie revolves around boxing the title sequence used dynamic images of key points in the movie to ensnare its audience. Using points such as the relationship between his girlfriend, the flourishing relationship between mentor and mentee and of course the final climax scene where the protagonist and the antagonist collide. 

6. How has technology been used effectively? You want to consider camera angles, transitions, and editing techniques. 
In this sequence we were given a long shot, close up, wide shot, two shot, medium close up, and an establishing shot all which were used in a prominent and effective manner. The editing techniques and transitions were not at all spectacular but were smooth enough where we see a timeline of events as the sequence progressed ultimately leading to the final climax of the movie.

On the Nice List

 Upon further inspection, our footage wasn’t as bad as I described. We had a lot of salvageable shots. As a result, we are going to keep the footage we have already taken. However, we are going to go back to the park to take some simple shots to make the beginning less choppy. Thankfully, we won’t have to pay to be in the area of the park we have to film this at.  Plans to reshoot went well. We got the basic shots we needed to fill out certain spots in the video. Now, it’s time to edit. We choose to split up the work between us. This was to ensure that each of us had a say in the vision for the video. Splitting the work also alleviates the burden of editing it all by one’s self.  Unfortunately, the equipment I was using didn’t allow me to work with computer software to edit the video. The laptop I had was broken and unreliable, so I went back to the editing software I used in the previous project. I started by putting all the takes we took in a big project and muting each...

Get Your Popcorn.. Let’s Watch A Movie

 Now that the group has chosen what genre and concept we want our final project to be, it’s time to watch a few films that follow the conventions of the sports genre. Today’s film will be Creed 2, directed by Steven Caple Jr. and starring Michael B. Jordan alongside Sylvester Stallone. What elements (Conventions) of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this  movie have?   The elements of this picture that relate to our genre would be that it is louder, grander, and greater than the first one. By maintaining an emphasis on the humanity of its main characters, it is able to correct itself. More than any punch delivered in the ring, whether Rocky will see his son again and the tribulations of the recent Creed couple are the subjects of greater suspense. The boxing scenes are fascinating and fun. Also, it gives fans a feast of entertainment.  What elements (Conventions) of the genre did the movie have that you like?  I enjoy how Adonis and Viktor...

Now Let’s Really Plan This Out

  Location: Filming at the beach would provide stunning visuals with the backdrop of the ocean and sand. The players could be shown diving and rolling on the soft sand to make intense plays. A park would offer a more relaxed and peaceful atmosphere, with trees and greenery in the background, providing a contrast to the fierce competition on the court. Filming at the gym would allow for intense close-ups of the players as they sweat and strain to make every move count, with the sounds of the game echoing off the walls. The contrast of these three locations would add to the dynamic storytelling of a volleyball movie. Participants: As the director and editor, I will be responsible for overseeing the creative vision and execution of the film. I will work closely with the other members of the production team to plan out the visual style, character development, and overall tone of the film. I will also work with the actors to ensure they understand their roles and deliver the best perfor...
