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.

No One Likes a Third Wheel, But Now We’re a Car!

       For the previous projects, I have continuously worked with Joshua Newell and Aidan Jones. I have found that working with them has produced consistently good work. We are able to communicate well and our schedules coincide, allowing us to get a lot of work done. While all of this is true, our group decided to add another member to the mix. We have decided to team up with Randy Sweeting.     There were several reasons why we wanted to add another member to the group. Most of them came from our last project. When filming the music video, we had trouble splitting the work load. It was a bigger project than the first, and we wanted to include more actors. This posed a challenge to the three of us, because we would all have to be present on camera. Additionally, we wanted a different perspective. The three of us agree on a lot of things. As a result, we sometimes miss out on better ideas or more efficient practices because we are so likeminded.  ...

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...

Title Design and Sequence

      After reviewing several opening scenes for films that fall under the sports genre, the time had come for the group to design our own title sequence. When doing this, I took into account all the things I learned during the research process. I found that there were several key features that needed to be included in the title design an sequence. The most important feature was the fact that the title design and sequence had to convey the overall mood and theme of the project. Our project is focused on the relationship between two teen boys and their different relationships with the sport volleyball. While the sport is the most important aspect of the project, there are comedic elements as it is meant for teenagers. Based on this information, the title sequence should feature fun, light hearted motifs like physical effects and fun sound.       Additionally, the title design and sequence should also reflect the intensity of the sport. To achieve t...
