In the the title sequence we are shown black screens with the production copy’s introduction with their logo animations then we proceed into the a scene of the main Character Adam Sandler talking to another character as they walk down a hall. They then enter a gym where a player gets interviewed. After this scene we get put on a plane with Adam Sandler as he is a coach looking to draft players and as we get put through the different scenes the credits are placed in corners with white cursive text.


3. What connotations do these images carry?  

These images suggest the simplicity of the time that this takes place with the calm white cursive font.

In the many cuts and scenes 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 smooth transitions and were just cuts to where we can understand the events happening currently ultimately leading to the final climax of the movie

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...

Now Let’s Really Plan This Out

  Location: Filming at the beach would provide stunning visuals with the backdrop of the ocean and sand. The players could be shown diving and rolling on the soft sand to make intense plays. A park would offer a more relaxed and peaceful atmosphere, with trees and greenery in the background, providing a contrast to the fierce competition on the court. Filming at the gym would allow for intense close-ups of the players as they sweat and strain to make every move count, with the sounds of the game echoing off the walls. The contrast of these three locations would add to the dynamic storytelling of a volleyball movie. Participants: As the director and editor, I will be responsible for overseeing the creative vision and execution of the film. I will work closely with the other members of the production team to plan out the visual style, character development, and overall tone of the film. I will also work with the actors to ensure they understand their roles and deliver the best perfor...
