Starting the music process

 Today my group and I really only talked about the music we were going to be using for the film. For a while my group and I debated what genre of song to use. The only thing that was really agreed on was that the song was supposed to be mysterious and not really cheery or happy. I suggested a K-pop song. However, since it would be in a different language, and my group and I don't really know if you are allowed to use a song not in English that idea was discarded. Tasmia finally suggested using a song without lyrics which seemed much more fitting. My group and I were also considering using music that was not royalty free. However, after much discussion it was discovered that royalty free music was the best option for my group and me. This was mainly due to the fact that the music that my group and I had agreed on had not been approved for our use. This was because the email address had not been typed in correctly. I only realized this today. Although we may be able to get a response, it may be too late for the project. That is why I suggested using royalty free music. This way my group's final will have music regardless if a response from the music company is given in time or not. However, we decided to go a step further. Mainly, due to the fact that one of my teammates Tasmia agreed to make original music for our intro. Tasmia knows how to do this as she has been taking a music class where all you do is make your own music. The backup plan is to use royalty free music that my group and I have found on the internet. I suggested this, not because I didn't think Tasmia would do a good job or finish in time. But to make sure that if something went wrong we would have a safety net to fall back on.

Title Design Research: Crazy Rich Asians

Image
 1.  How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? There are four titles. The titles are the movie name, and the companies that co-produced the movie. 2.What connotations do the images carry? (How do you they make you feel?)  The images are very colorful and change with each new title that is presented on the screen. This makes me feel happy and excited to see the rest of the movie/film. 3. How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you tell what genre the film is?) Although it is a little hard to see what the genre is, the movie still uses some symbolic codes that correspond with the genre. Such as, using bright colors and upbeat music. As this is a romantic comedy and is supposed to be more on the cheerful/hopeful side as well as giving comedic relief. 4. What conventions are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience? In order to do this the film uses visual effects and music ...

Genre Research: Cinderella The Amazon Original

Image
   Hello, today My group and I are researching Fantasy Movies so we have a better idea of what our opening sequence will look like. The first movie we are researching is Cinderella, made by Amazon.  The common sounds that I found in cinderella, was dialogue, and diegetic sound, along with singing. I did notice that in most fantasy moves it opens with some kind of narration, like a storybook. In this movie it did it as well, it also broke into sound and dance within the first 15 to 25 seconds in.  One of the common camera angles was a bird's eye view, so the audience could see the different movements the actors were doing as they danced. Another common camera angle was the medium shot, this was often used if the character was sitting, or if the character was eating, basically something that didn't require that much movement. The last common camera angle is Wide shot when a character was walking or opening a door, or talking to another character.  In this movie, t...

planning

  Props:     My group will be using a backpack, piece of paper and our product (Paper Mate pens). We will also be using a different type of pen (not the one we are advertising) to contrast to the Paper Mate pen.  Since we will be making our commercial about a brand of pen we will not need to have a lot of props.  Costumes:  My groupmates and I will all be in the commercial (be actors). Since this commercial is about pens (usually people are wearing normal clothes) we will just be wearing regular/normal/street clothes. If our filming takes place between multiple days we will make sure to be wearing the same things- so not to have a confused audience/have it make sense.  Schedule:   On 9/23/21: Our group will research any essential things for this project/commercial. The planning for things such as a backup plan, set/location, costumes, scheduling and the props needed will also be finished.  By 9/29/21: We will make sure the storyboar...
