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.

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...

Throwback Thursday

 Now that we have looked at what sports films are doing right now, let’s have a look at what they were like twenty years ago. Remember the Titans is a certified classic directed by Boaz Yakin that features an iconic performance from Denzel Washington. What elements (Conventions) of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this  movie have?   Remember the Titans stands along with other films, such as Coach Carter and The Blind Side, as the blueprint for many sports films that followed after its production. It remains as a staple within the genre as it provides a compelling story that captures the audience, while also allowing true elements of football to be shown throughout the film, especially during the time the movie is supposed to take place. What this movie did best, was it's ability to properly portray the story in a dramatic sense which added more emphasis to the authenticity of the story as well as the struggle within the characters as the movie pro...
