The titles displayed in the opening sequence is the title: “Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2”, the main cast of the film, and the casting director. Then comes the associate producer, music supervisor, and main composer. Then there is the visual effects supervisor, costume designer, editors, and production designers. Finally there’s is the director of photography, co-producers, executive producers, the main producer, and the director.

-What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?

The images prioritized in the opening sequence would be baby foot dancing in te background. a lot of the chaos in the background is out f focus, making thats not what we should be focused on at that moment. The others moments that stand out within the scene are Monet were the character are coming across baby groom in the middle of the battle.

-What connotations do these images carry?

The connotations of thee images present the audience with a sense of how the team works together. The Guardians of the Galaxy aren’t necessarily the most organized team, and they aren’t the most heroic. In This opening sequence the film is introducing to the chaotic family dynamic between characters. 

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

The film establishes a feeling of the genre from the outset because it introduces creatures that would never be fond on earth. Therefor, this would make the film fit into the science fiction category. Characters such as Groot, Drax, and Rocket raccoon specifically wouldn’t exist in reality, making this story fiction. This also includes the main creature that the Guardians are fighting in te background. 

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

-How has technology been used effectively? You want to consider camera angles, transitions, and editing techniques.

 Technology in this film has benne. Use effectively because it uses camera angles, movement s, and vfx in dynamic ways. Throughout what appears to be a long take, the opening of this film follows baby Groot around an action scene. Throughout this scene, the camera has to pan tilt up and down and pan left o rigging order to follow the character as he dances around. This is rather impressive seeing as baby’s Groot is a fully CGI character, making that the camera is performing a tracking shot while tracking something that isn’t actually there.

Final Task: Dimensions

 Below is my final task, the opening to my film “Dimensions”. This has been a lot of fun to work with, from the very beginning stages of writing the script, all the way to the editing. I feel that doing this project has given me a good understanding of what it’s like to make a film in the film industry. In total, I feel that I now understand the basic understanding of what it’s like to make a film. In other words, I have learned a lot of skills while making my film, and plan to use these skills on future projects.

Production blog: Costumes

Image
  When gathering the costumes that I was preparing fro my film I ran into a few issues that I hadn’t originally taken into account. I originally planned to have the following: a casual look with pants and short-sleeve, a fancy suit, and pajamas. Seeing as I’m working alone on the project, I will be the only one wearing these costumes. My story is supposed to begin with my character preparing for his birthday the night before. At this point, he is wearing his casual clothes, and he is preparing his suit to wear in the morning. I was originally thing of having the character then be in pajamas since this is at night, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable in pajamas while on camera so I decided not to do this.

So I then changed the story so that the main character is so excite for his birthday, that he chooses to wear his birthday suit in his sleep. This way, the...

Filming Blog

 Before beginning the filming process, I made sure to gather my material and props together. The costumes that I planned to wear didn’t have to change once I began filming, since all my scenes would be filmed indoors. This also meant that none of my locations had to change either. As I stated before, I already planed on filming indoors, so I didn’t have to improvise much on set. I did however, change some parts that were from my storyboard. For example, I added a scene of my story’s protagonist staring at a colander with a specific date on it. Later on in the film, when the character enters another dimension, he finds that Sam Clarence rebut now it says a different date, even though it was the same day. This is meant to be a visual clue for the audience. Other than that, I didn’t end up changing much. I would go on to film my scenes in an order based on locations. By doing this, I didn’t have to waste any time and go back and forth between locations. I would film specific scenes wh...
