Title Design Research: Action

 Aquaman:

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

There are many titles that were shown during the opening sequences of the movie, beginning with common ones such as the Director and the Producer. The main titles that were displayed in the opening sequence were the producers of the film and the visual effects creators of the film.


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

The images carry a sense of ancient times, it seems as if some kind of Greek mythology is being shown as a city is buried underwater and there were many statues as well.  


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

tell what genre the film is)

The genre isn’t stated explicitly, but from watching superhero movies, one might expect some form of action, as there is a lot of action in superhero movies.


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

The opening scene was brightly colored and depicted an ancient city submerged, as previously described. There were also other statues displayed from various angles, as well as numerous ancient ruins. The music utilized in the opening scene made it seem like it was from an action movie because it was really dynamic.

       For the second project we were assigned I decided to work in a group. My group consists of Jorge Lopez, and Christian Bundalevski. I typically like working in group settings because I feel like the different perspectives help provide a better final product. Obviously, I have had group projects in the past that were not so stellar experiences but I feel as if this project will go much more smoothly. Being able to choose groups is very nice as opposed to the teacher deciding.  Jorge Lopez, I have known for many years. We first became friends in the 5th grade and stayed friends all throughout middle school. We ended up going to the same high school together and spent much of last year in discord calls together along with another friend, but that is a story for another day. I have done projects with Jorge in the past and he is very good at coming up with creative ideas. He is also very funny but not overly distracting in a group setting.  Now Christian I have also known for years. W

Editing: Experimentation

       Today was the second day we had in class to edit out commercials together. We began by having Rashawn show us what he had so far. He ended up transferring our work to Adobe Premeair cut Pro so we got to see that program too.    We then began to tinker with the lighting a little bit and ended up settling with more lighting than before. We also experimented with different sounds or music clips but we ended up staying with what we had before.    While watching Rashawn edit we all became curious about how the program he uses worked. I am learning a bit of adobe due to my marketing essentials but only the photoshop aspect. I know next to nothing of Premiere Cut Pro. So Rashawn came up with a proposal. He decided to make us a copy file and we each fiddled around with the software a little bit which was quite fun.    We used the lighting options to put a black and white box over our faces and watched some clips play by, that feature was my personal favorite. We also speed up and slowed
