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's battle scenes are filled with breath-taking action thanks to director Caple Jr. the camera is placed in Adonis' shoes in the point-of-view images. a strong plot, together with outstanding choreography, cinematography, and sound mixing. Caple Jr. so completely immerses the spectators in the ring. You nearly feel the body punches and you'd believe Viktor is targeting you. The final triumph is thrilling. its stunning variety of long, balletic, and complex camera movements. the full boxing battle that lasts for four and a half minutes without interruption.

What elements (Conventions) of the genre did the movie have that did not appeal to you?

The element I don’t like is trying to keep a side character as relevance basically trying to have two characters clash for a main character. Although Rocky is excellent, it is also the reason for my criticism of the movie. There is just too much of him. Rocky and I are confined to the waiting room while Bianca is giving birth. I feel like we should have been seeing the reactions of Adonis. The sense of trying to figure out how rocky fits into the scene doesn’t work. It was as if they wanted to waste time and have him appear for the rocky fans.

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...

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 im...

All About Me

My favorite things are art and pop culture. As a result, many of my hobbies are related to both of those things. The main things I enjoy are music and fashion, which conjoin the two aforementioned topics. My favorite brands are Mugler, Maison Margiela, and Diesel. I spend a lot of my time watching fashion shows from these brands. A dream of mine is to become a stylist or creative director of some kind. I also enjoy thrifting clothes and looking for vintage pieces online. My favorite periods for fashion and general inspiration are the 90s and 2000s. As a result, I often reference iconic moments in those eras in my art. I make a lot of different kinds of art. I have been painting and drawing traditionally for most of my life. Recently, however, I’ve been drawing digitally more often. I prefer it because you have an endless amount of colors and brushes you can use and you can correct mistakes easily. Some ...
