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.

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.  ...

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...
