Title Design Research (Underwater)

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

28 titles in total, these titles included, name of studio, name of production company, actor(s) names, film title,  music by, edited by, produced by, and directed by. 

2. What connotations do the images carry? (how do they make you feel) 
The connotations presented a very eerie feeling as if something was going to pop out and scare you especially since it "takes place" under water.  

3. How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you tell what genre the film is) 
While watching this title sequence, I was thinking that this movie may be horror or thriller related. After searching up the movie to find out if I was correct, I came to find out that the genre is horror/sci-fi. I understand the horror part since the movie is underwater and the brief description is saying that they dug something up and don't know what came out. The sci-fi part is also understandable because the actors are underwater with a lot of technology surrounding them, which usually makes a movie apart of sci-fi. 

4. What conventions are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?
The shots included in the title sequence provided to the suspense and eeriness of the movie by showing a high angle pointing down into the ocean with dark music that makes a person's heart race. It also includes fast zoom in shots where you see skeletons and what seems to be extinct animals that used to live in the ocean which also add to the suspense.

The Final Apple Watch Commercial

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...
