2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequences? 

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. It is implied that Adam Sandler cannot find any good players to draft as each scene ends in disappointment And a different location as the credits are introduced with them seeming he cannot find anyone. 


4. How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?  

From the beginning of the title sequence the film heavily focuses on the a coach trying to find players and seemingly cannot find anyone after all these travels. 


5. What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?

Having a clear idea that the plot of the movie revolves around basket ball. They also keep you wondering if the coach will find any player to draft which keeps you glued into the movie wondering l.


6. How has technology been used effectively? considering the camera angles, transitions, and editing techniques. 

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

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.  ...

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...

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...
