Title Research: Little Women



    I watched the opening sequence of "Little Women" on the art of the title website, showing a black and white beginning with a bold, blocky font. The beginning of the sequence mentions the producer, director, cast and crew as well as the title of the film. A description of who the person being mentioned is lays on top in an italic font, while the person is in a bold, capitalized lettering. All of the titles are in black and white, creating the serious and professional tone. Images prioritized in the opening sequence include a snowy background with a neighborhood and a big mountain. Another image shows a man putting a wreath on his front door, which you can infer means it is Christmas time. The next image shows an old building with a carriage riding across the snowy ground. The next image shows kids running with a Christmas tree attached to a sled. These images carry a positive and happy connotation regarding the time of the year, as well as the scenery. The image of the kids share how fun it is for them, as the music in the background is more in touch with the holiday spirit. The film establishes a feeling of the genre from the outset by the music picked, and the choice of scenery. The way the camera moves shows a slow pace, professional film. Strategies used to appeal to the target audience is the way the music carries each scene, and the scenery, which appeals to an older audience. Technology is used in this film by doing a fade in and out of the scenes as well as the titles. A pan was used to show more of what the movie entails. The film shows an establishing shot of where the movie also takes place, and some of the characters involved.

Finished

         I managed to get the feedback from my other peers and received mostly good news. Everyone said that the film was well edited and was really nice. This was a long process, but I am glad that it is over with. All I have to do now is touch up some errors and turn it in. Throughout this long process I learned how to make a 2 minute opening sequence, embed music, edit and place titles. There were a lot of setbacks that came from making this film, but I managed to get through it. Some of the characters had to be changed because they did not come through in the process, as well as some scenes the characters were in. I was still flexible enough to keep the show going on, and finish the final product. It was hard to get some of the camera angles because of where the scenes took place. For example, the scenes where I was in the mirror took more skill since the camera man cannot be seen in the video. Another scene that was hard to do was the bathroom scene because...

Editing and Taking Breaks

Image
                        I have almost come to the end of the final task. So far, I have shot all of the scenes needed, and started editing some of the clips together. While reviewing the scenes, I noticed that the lighting was off in some parts. I had to have someone in my family help me record these scenes again. For example, The beginning scene was too dark because of how early it was, so we had to pretend it was early in the morning for the scene. I have a light dimmer, so I adjusted the lighting to create a brighter look. I also had to re-shoot the kitchen scenes because there was too much background noise that could not be canceled out. After re-shooting these, I imported them into my editing software. The first thing I did for editing is putting all of the videos in order. Then, I cut some of the video out of each one to create a smooth transition. Some of the editing was turned int...

CCR for Music Video

  Creative Critical Reflection 1.       How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?      My product was based around the pop genre. In this genre of music, it is more upbeat, full of dancing, and bold clothing. Most pop songs relate to relationships and what teen’s are into. My product revolves around relationships, and looking for them. The beat is joyful, and the accessories are bold. The setting of most pop songs are near the beach, at a carnival or a public setting where multiple people are seen in the background and make appearances through the video. My product does the opposite, and switches back and forth from one girl to another. This represents the teen group and what there likes and dislikes are, and goes out of the way to connect to the teen group.     2. How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media text?...
