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.

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 ...

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 ...
