The Athlete

Image
 We began recording our next scene which evolves sports. As we try to transition from the main character's school life to him practicing a sport to continue the story. We try to make it seem as smooth and nonforced as possible. As we have the main character talking to one of his friends talk about the practice after school. As they know they are about to face-off between their rival school.  As they continued to talk we see that the main character is choosing his schoolwork before his personal life. As Mj tries to convince the main character to come to practice because he is the "star player". We used this to try and show what kind of peer pressure a teenager can go through. As we make him choose between getting a good grade or practicing. He tries t make time for both. Stating that he'll just finish the work before practice.  The scene as a whole is supposed to represent the same as the first scene. The innocence of someone who just started his new life in high schoo...

Beginning Scenes

 My partner and I began filming on the scheduled date. We tried to begin filming beforehand, but then we had to worry about our testing, school, and personal business. As seen in the storyboard the first couple of scenes takes place in my room, so I called it up and made it presentable for the film. I had to find a place to put the camera so that it would be able to capture the whole scene. The scene including me, my phone, and my computer. This scene is supposed to be of the main character waking up ad getting prepared for school.  As we continued filming we had to discuss what are the extra characters going to do. My partner asked to make sure my room was spot clean during filming so that we can emphasize a point that the watchers will later see in the project. The main character is supposed to be seen as a happy go-getter. As he tries to answer the teachers' questions when no one else will respond to them.  Showing the character this happy and energetic and then slowly...

  Scene 1:  Alarm goes off No Dialogue  Scene 2:  No Dialogue Scene 3: Teacher: “ Can anyone tell me why the Farmers had conflicts with the railroads?” No Dialogue  Cleveland: *sighs* “Because the railroads, AKA the means of transporting the goods the farmers grew, were charging farmers more money to transport crops than it originally should be. This eventually led to the granger movement, a series of protests that fought against the rail monopolies of the midwest.” Teacher: “Thank you AGAIN Cleveland for always answering the questions, you’ve won 5 points for participation.”  Scene 4 Teacher: “Alright class that sounds like the bell, and don't forget your Industrial Revolution project is due tonight and for those who don't remember.

Title research: Band aid (2017)

What titles are displayed during the opening sequence? The audience is met the producers, writers, and directors of the film for the first few title scenes. Soon after, the text instantly cuts to reveal another text that says " Band Aid", the title of the film, in bold white text over a pink background. Finally, the main characters are revealed as the rest of the editors, and designers are revealed through pink text. What Images are prioritized in its opening scenes? The audience is met with the actors having a pillow fight outdoors. This creates a fun outgoing mood because everyone is laughing and having fun. Additionally, the lighting is bright and the actors are wearing bright colors. After the aftermath Ana and Ben's pillow fight we see Ben as the obvious winner as Dave, the referee declares it, until Ana pushes them both down and claims herself as the victor. What connotations do these images carry? These images conjure love and being happy. We see all characters hav...
