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.

The Conference Call

       Unfortunately, the group could not come together to film this week. This was extremely frustrating because it set us behind for a few days. Many of us were working, and when we weren't, others had obligations they couldn't miss. Despite this minor setback, we still made time to talk about our film. The group decided to do a phone call to work out the details of the project. Again, we were focusing on the opening. We are unfamiliar with the formatting of the intro. As a result, we all had many different ideas on how we should execute it. All of us provided input on how we could change certain scenes and dialogue to accommodate the opening. Though small decisions like the font have not been ironed out, we have a clear idea of how we want the names and titles to be displayed. This may require some of the scenes to be reshot, but we are perfectly fine with making this adjustment to get the best product we can.      The group agreed that we should implement landscape shots to

Our Pitches

      The group has several ideas on what we should make our video about. We have narrowed them down to three in order to make the decision easier for ourselves.      The first pitch surrounds two high athletes that play volleyball. The two are inseparable, but different in nature. One was always extremely passionate about volleyball, determined to improve and become a major player of the sport. For convenience, we will call this character Character A (or CA for short). The other character was never very interested in sports and was more intrigued by online endeavors (phones, gaming, etc.). This character will be called Character B (or CB). One day, CB is sitting on the stairs on his phone when CA is going down them. CA drops the volleyball in his hand, yelling for CB to watch out as it moves towards him. CB is caught off guard, dropping his phone as the yelling startles him. Miraculously, he is able to pass the ball back to CA perfectly and catch his phone. CA is surprised by CB’s ski
