Title Design Research (Random Acts of Violence)

1. How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences of the film? Which ones?

There were 45 titles in total. These were names of the production company, who directed the film, the actors, the editing crew, etc... 

2. What connotations did the images carry? (How do they make you feel)

The images ae glitchy. Personally, I got uneasy. There was a lot going on it was pretty difficult to read. Especially with the music in the back, it was just a lot. 

3. How is the genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you tell what genre the film is) 

I wasn't able to tell what type of genre this movie was. Initially, I got something with technology because of the glitches, but it looked a lot like a Marvel film due to the music, colors, and speed. The music also builds up a lot of suspension and really keeps the viewer on their toes. The title tells me that it might be Crime related. In actuality, the film is a Horror/ Thriller. 

4. What conventions are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?

Zooming in, sped up scenes, bright colors, and the music really build up suspense. It doesn't really seem like it would be a Horror film, but it definitely has suspense and an uneasy feeling, which appeals to Thriller.

The Final Apple Watch Commercial

Image
This  commercial was really fun to make and enjoyable. First, with working with my group, it was really interactive and fun to be able to conjoin with people and develop a commercial. I always wanted to record and edit a video for something fun and I was glad I was allowed to do it with my group. Also, learning about the different important details of editing, filming, and etc. was really interesting to me, especially since I am really invested in filming and editing. It was fun to explore new things and be able to understand the small details of everything. By using my vocabulary words for, casual things I would usually say was really interesting and fun to do. All in all, this was a very fun project and I really do enjoy it, and I would love to do it again some day .

The Dream Team

 This project I will be working with a group of friends, that I have acquired over the period of this class. For the first project I worked with 2 people, Alejandro and Pedro. It wasn't the best group, I felt as if I did majority of the work and it made the project not so fun at all, I was aggravated and I did not want to be apart of something that was so one sided. With all of that, it caused me to work by myself for the second project which was more enjoyable in the sense that i didn't have people just benefiting from my work for free, but it was stressful at the same time, because I really didn't have anyone to be my actors. Especially since my family was always, and my friend schedules never really matched up together. This motivated me to meet a group of people that had the same drive for their work as me and the same type of decorum, when it comes to putting in a hand in a project. I truly do believe I found those people. Their names are, Nicole, Jordyn, and Pedro. Th...
