Title Research: True Romance


 What titles are displayed during the opening sequence?

During the opening sequences the credits were shown. Then the title of the film "True Romance" was shown with a happy and romantic background. These scenes were animated and not real life things.

What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?

A sense of romance and happiness is displayed. As well as gangster feeling. Making sure the audience understands the feeling by which the images portray. The happy images and up-pace music kept you on your toes about what the film was going to be about. Also making sure all of the people involved in creating this film were mentioned and prioritized.

What connotations do these images carry?

These romantic and  images are little pieces feeding into the obscurity of the film. Not knowing what it is about, yet seeing all the daunting images. 

How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?

True Romance is a romantic gangster film about a girl who fell in love with a guy in a mafia. The genre is very much clear to the audience and is greatly portrayed as a romance film.

What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?

The opening sequences make it very clear it is a romantic gangster film. Before the film even started the audience sees the images that set a romantic gangster display. Anyone who is watching the film will know what they are getting into by watching the opening sequence.

How has technology been used effectively?

The transitions of romantic gangster images and effects are used. They are used as a background to introduce the credits and theme of the film. The consistent camera angles and shots also add to the dimension and character to even just the opening sequences. The background music was also romantic, it wasn’t too fast pace or too slow which made it perfect.

Editing Blog: Editing The Music Video

Image
 Today Allison and I edited together the music video! This was the final step to our music video process and marked an end to all of the work we had done. We used the app Imovie to put all of the scenes together, we did this in class and used Allison’s phone. We had previously recorded all of the clips on Allison’s phone so this was the most convenient option. I began adding the scenes to the app to have an outline of our video. Allison helped me crop the clips so that they would line up with the music perfectly. It was challenging making all the clips match up with the music perfectly and I did have some frustrations along the way. For some scenes I had trouble matching the lip syncing, but after a few tries I was able to make it look flawless! Creating a split screen for the phone call scene seemed impossible, but with some research and the help of my group mates I was able to create a split screen! Allison gave me many suggestions while editing and I greatly appreciated her help thr

Introducing My Group Mates!

 My group is very similar to the group I had for my previous music video, although there are some changes. We decided to add a new member to the group from a different class period, her name is Jade. My group now consists of me my good friend Allison, Darrow, and Jade. Allison and I have been friends since middle school and have worked together on many projects and assignments. On our last project Allison was very helpful and took on a lot of the responsibility she picked upon Darrow a few times and allowed us to film at her house. Without her we who knows what we would've done. Allison also helped me a lot when it came to filming, she gave me many ideas without forcing them upon me. We are able to work well together because we have a good relationship. Darrow is another friend that I have known since middle school. Darrow is not as reliable as Allison, although he is a good friend. Last project Darrow played the male role, and we will need him again to play another male leading ro

Lets Get Filming!

 Today we got lots of filming done! Yesterday was not as accomplished as we spent a lot of time trying to figure out the right place to film. But today we were able to all meet at one place at the same time ready to film. All of the actors quickly got dressed and I went to set up props again. Darrow's parents were not home this day so I had to set up the props by my lonesome without his Moms help. Luckily everything still looked perfect! Once everyone was dressed we had to continue with the scenes. I had the storyboard out and placed the actors where they needed to be. With the help of my friend Eva I would position the actors and she would look through the camera telling me left, right, forward, back, to get the perfect shot. We began filming where we left off, which was Giada aka Jade walking out the door after saying bye to her father. I had to go outside and film Jade walking through the door. I followed the storyboard very closely and made sure to capture the angles that I had
