Title Research: Split


 This is from the website "Art of the Title": www.artofthetitle.com

  1. What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? Production companies, name of the actors, the film creator, costume designers, etc.
  2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?  The opening sequence switches from the place the kidnapped girl is and the title screen. 
  3. What connotations do these images carry? The face-paced cutting between each scene is getting the audience immersed and prepared for what could possibly happen next. 
  4. How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset? Non-diegetic sound is increasing the anxiousness one might feel watching this. 
  5. What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience? Since there are kidnapped girls the audience is sure to watch them try to escape or be tortured. Also the dim lighting and stereotypical creepy man. 
  6. How has technology been used effectively? The unfocused camera is a reflection of how the girl is feeling, perhaps lightheaded. The title sequence splits like the title name.

(I've uploaded the video using two different methods just in case one method doesn't work.) My journey of making my first official AICE Media project has finally come to a close.

With this project, I guarantee I tried my absolute best. Additionally, I want to acknowledge that I will improve my skills as well. I understand I could have made the commercial have a cooler storyline or made it slightly more entertaining. However, I wanted to follow the conventions of a skincare ad and usually, those types of things don't happen. I know for next time I should do my project however I want, creativity is key. I want to entertain my audience so they enjoy watching. I'll continue to improve by finding new techniques on how to accomplish this. (Perhaps more research could help). Also, I did a de...

Production Blog: Filming Alone

Image
 Continuing my journey of making my final task, I had to start filming. I use my phone to record my videos so you could imagine how hard it is to find a way to prop the phone without it falling. I would either need someone to record me or a tripod to ensure the phone won't fall. Recently those things were not available to me. Therefore, I had to improvise while I had the time. I sat down and differentiated between the scenes that I would have to do alone and the scenes I needed extra help with. This process was very tedious and time-consuming. Some scenes I was unsure of so I would have to film it myself as a test run.  Most of the ones I tested out were shaking and blurry. I instantly knew that help would be needed immediately. Unfourtuanelty, when I record myself I can't see the screen. Either the camera would be crooked or it wasn't focused. There are so many factors that come into play with filming yourself. I'm better off with waiting until I get the tools I need. ...
