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

The casting list, the crew listing, the films executive producers and producers are the titles that are being displayed during the opening sequences. There are a total of 27 titles in the opening sequence. 

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

The images that are being prioritized in the opening sequence are the main character, what the main character is wearing, bars belonging to a jail cell, war wepons such as a tank and guns, vehicles, along with the White House. 

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

The connotation the showing of the main character without directly pointing out that they are the main character. It's letting the viewers know this individual is the main character. The bars are the bars belonging to a jail cell indicating that the person has been convicted of some type of crime. The clothing itself which is a prisoners jumpsuit points to that as well. The war wepons and vehicles( choppers, cars, etc.) let the viewers know that this is a film filled with action and most likely has some type of tie back to the government; as does the White House being shown towards the end of the sequence. 

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

 The film establishes a feeling of the genre by showing in the opening sequence items such as choopers, tanks, armed wepons, the main character being an inmate etc. This allows the viewers to view that opening sequence and take note that this is an Action film.

Final Review: Changes actually made.

Image
Hello, Kayla here. So, this blog will be about tbe actual changes that were made to the film. Some of the suggestions that were made to me by my family were done and some on our own. The shooting scene in my opinion wasn't too graphic so that was left the way it was. We saw no reason to re-shoot it. I also, took into consideration what was said to me and we did end up shortening the shooting scene. That was originally 11 seconds and was trimmed down tremendously. I also did some changes to the lighting. So from 0:48 seconds to 1:05 I created and added a sunlight filter. From 1:05 to the ending of the video I made and used a nighttime filter. It took me a while. I thought the filters were already made but turns out it wasn't. So, I had to use the color adjustment settings to get them to come out the way we desired. I also did end up adding some fade-outs but took them out in the end. I had to export like three different videos and go back to add ontop each. The behind the scenes...

Mission impossible 2   1. How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones?   There are only 3 titles the producer Tage and the director tag and the title of the movie. This movie decided to take the fast option giving you the most important tags for the opening. To get their idea across quickly on what type of movie it is going to be.    2. What connotations do the images carry? (how do you they make you feel)   The titles are in between very intense images, editing, and sound going on with the titles it makes me feel pumped and ready to watch a action packed movie. The opening gets you prepared for the intensity of the movie.    3. How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you   tell what genre the film is) through action/interaction.   Action / interaction Is different in every movie but what ties them together is the certain mood / action e...

Commercial Blog

Hi, Kayla here. This blog is my 2nd to the last blog for this project. This is the commercial blog where the video/ actual commercial is shown here. This commercial is about an ink joy pen and the attributes said pen has. You can see that in the commercial I was using a different pen officially. But, that pen as shown in the video was causing issues and not working properly. I was then given a pen which turned out to be an  Ink Joy pen before I proceeded to start writing. You can hear me explain how the pen writes smoothly and work wonderfully. The filming experience was great to say the least. I really enjoyed the process of filming this commercial.
