Project Selection-Film

The film project interests me because I absolutely love watching movies. Movies interest me because there are tons of different genres to watch, so they never get old. The film project would be a good fit for me because I have a family member who produces movies and TV shows, so they could give me some pointers on how to proceed with my project. Also, I took a video editing class, so I know how to trim videos down and cut from scene to scene. From the film "The Making of the Film Ferris Bueller's Day Off ," I learned how to pick out actors, how to film on location, and how to to direct address to the audience. I also learned that you need to take more cuts than you need in order to get the perfect shot, and then you can trim down in the final editing stage. From the TV show "The Newsroom," I learned that you cannot go over the time allowed for that segment because you will lose your audience, so I need get to the point quickly in my film. The film project could be a challenge for me because we will have to film on location, which means time and money is a factor need to be considered. Another challenge could be getting everyone together at one time to film on location and edit our scenes down into what we want. In addition, the film project could be a challenge because I am not the most creative person, so coming up with ideas and a genre for the film could be difficult. Lastly, the film project is a good fit for me because I am very much into films and the the production side of them.

Third Quarter Submission

For our quarter three submission we revised some parts of our film. We re-shot the beginning of our film to slow down the pace of the film. We also added new fonts and coloring in the beginning of our film for our names and opening title, to have special effects and make it more personal. Our original titles were red and had no effect, so this time we added a pop-in special effect for "Girl's Night" title to create a theme for the film. Additionally, we added incidental music at the end of our film to create suspense and mystery. All these revisions were made to add a sense of reality and more suspense throughout our film. Throughout this new submission I learned how to edit sound and put it in the film, how to add special effects to titles, and how to work with PremierePro at a higher level.

Audience Engagement Research-The Irishman

The film "The Irishman" appeals to all age groups, but mainly older men and younger women. This is a history movie, so it attracts an older crowd who experienced the same events as the characters in the movie did. Also, it captures the attention of younger women because they are featured throughout the film and they did not experience the same events as the older men did, so they are inclined to learn about the past. Our movie, "Girls Night", is a drama, mystery, suspense, and comedy film that targets teenage girls and men. "The Irishman" is a drama, mystery, and suspense film with use of intelligent humor throughout. The film "The Irishman", also uses foreshadowing throughout the film to keep the audience engaged and lines of dry humor to keep the audience laughing. Our target audiences are similar because teenagers go see movies with vulgar language and men go see movies about events they have experienced in their lifetime. "The Irishman...
