Title Research: Little Women (1994)

-

1. Titles shown in the opening included movie by (Gillian Armstrong, Winona Ryder) the cast members (Trini Alvarado, Gabriel Byrne, Samantha Mathis, Kirsten Dunst, Claire Danes, Christian Bale, and Susan Sarandon, Eric Stoltz, John Neville, Mary Wickes) Casting Directors (Carrie Frazier and Shani Ginsberg) Music credits (Thomas Newman), Costume Designer (Colleen Atwood) Co-Producer (Robin Swicord) Film Editor (Nicholas Beauman) Production Designer (Jan Roelfs) Director of Photography (Geoffrey Simpson) Movie Based on the Novel by (Louisa May Alcott) Screenplay by (Robin Swicord) Produced by (Denise DiNovi) Directed by (Gillian Armstrong). 

2. The opening sequence, created by Australian de
signer Belinda Bennetts, features credits typography set atop woodblock illustrations and calligraphic ornaments, flourishes with graceful curves over fields of snow. Also from the first moments of the opening sequence, the film is imbued with a sense of ease and familiarity. 

3. These images depict the atmosphere of the neighborhood and people in the beginning of the film. This gives off a warm feeling and makes viewers feel "at home". This can help further develop the characters in continuation of the film. 

4. The film establishes a feeling of the genre from the outset by the ominous and neighborly background.  This creates a feeling of drama within the film, by letting the audience know a little of what kind of tone will be carried on throughout the film.

5. The strategies used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience would have to be the setting choice in the opening sequence of the film. This shows the type of people that live in this atmosphere and how the movie will be showcased.

6. The technology and editing techniques, based off of the intro sequence, appeals to the audiences' eye, by the use of camera shots. It conveys the town by using an establishing shot, showing off & highlighting the building, mountains, and snow and uses close up shots, as a preview of whats going to happen in the film.

Genre Research: The Hate U Give

Most people enjoy a good movie while others enjoy a good book. Some people enjoy fun animated movies while others enjoy ones that address issues and problems that go on in this world. These issues range from racism to climate change and pollution. The typical category that films like those fall under is drama. Ask yourself, what is the purpose of a Drama film? Maybe its just to entertain others or maybe its to bring awareness to other political and social problems. Most of the time the issues brought up are the ones people don't know about or disregard. After doing some research my teammates and I were able to find that the main purpose of most drama films is to express the need for social change, communicating a universal theme, recreating and interpreting information, ideas, and emotions. While still being entertaining and divert our attention from our everyday lives. A film that we felt best suited at least three of these categories is called The Hate U Give. This movie is about...

Final Task CCR

Uploaded above, t his is my CCR for my final task. It is a twelve-minute long video. It goes over & answers the CCR questions. I describe and elaborate on things like drama conventions and real media texts. I also go over how I integrated technology for my opening sequence and how my production skills have improved. Along with that, I also just go over things I did during this task. I also described how I worked with my teammates and how we made the title sequence out to be the best it could be. I also go back and reference previous projects and talk about how it has affected me. I will talk about how the stuff I learned in those projects helped me this time. Seeing as though this was our last project, it was certainly a lot to deal with . With the CCR, I had to make some edits to it before I put it onto my blog, which was a hassle to say the least.
