CCR Blog for Music Video

 This is my CCR for the Music Video Project. It's a slideshow with the song my group chose integrated in the presentation itself (there should be a small button prompt on the menu bar of the slideshow for the music to begin).

Research for Commercial Project

Image
  My group did research regarding our commercial project today. We are going to be doing a commercial for Gatorade, so we researched popular Gatorade commercials which have run recently.  Props: We found that they often utilize very similar props and costumes, such as the actors wearing recognizably athletic clothes, Gatorade bottles and the Gatorade logo being very prominent, and sports equipment such as weights or tennis rackets. Sound: Gatorade commercials always select fast-paced, emotive music such as EDM or R&B, occasionally with a stop followed by the music starting again. Conventions: There is generally very little dialogue in Gatorade commercials, and if there is, it is almost always a VoiceOver. There is also manipulation of the color palette so that it is very muted before Gatorade is shown or consumed and very vibrant after Gatorade is shown or consumed. This is reflected in both the actors' clothing and in the background tones. Gatorad...

Genre Research: The Meg (2018)

Image
  Camera Angles and Movements: In The Meg, there are many uses of long and wide shots. This Emphasizes the size comparison of the meg with the regular people, as well as how large the meg is under water. There are also many high and low angle shots that are used to display the roles of power between the characters and the meg. There is also a usage of god’s eye view, before and during attacks to display size comparison and insight suspense.  Mis-En-Scene : The costumes mostly used by the characters are athletic style work clothes that show that the characters are working in an area that deals with manual work and water. Characters are also shown wearing scuba and fishing related gear which is relevant because for most of the film the characters are on or under the water. When not under direct sunlight in the film, the lighting is mostly darker to give the sense of suspense. The acting mostly used would be described as fear and bravery, the characters are scared of the meg and...

Genre Decision Blog

My group has decided to go with a Sci-Fi film for our final project. This is because a Thriller and a War movie are not eligible as reasonable possibilities. Thrillers rely completely on well-constructed props, sets, atmospheres, and costumes. Accomplishing this would be very difficult for our group and very limited budget. Particularly in the case of a monster, executing this idea would pose significant issues. We would need a well-designed costume to be shown only briefly throughout the entire project, which seems to be a waste of effort. Lighting presents its own problems as well. Conventionally, thrillers are dark, obscuring views to add anticipation. Our group believes this would be hard to accomplish as well, because we have very little experience filming in dark environments. The final product could come out too dark to be seen. War movies require large sets of battlefields and many more actors than are in our group of 4. Even if we had the means to get more actors, scheduling w...
