Title Research: Teen Spirit


This movie is named Teen Spirit and it sone of the movies I studied for my title research.  It was released in June of 2018 in Russia. The opening sequence lasted for about 2 minutes. Enough of background info, onto the titles. The first title that was presented gives credit to the writer and director. Then, the producer and executive producer, co-producer, director of photography, costume designer, editor and music supervisors were credited respectively. Then, the actual title of the movie was displayed. Around the middle of the sequence the credits continued, going on to attribute to the choreographer, visual effects manager, hair and makeup designer and casting director. Almost immediately after, the names of the stars in the movie also appeared as titles. Over the course of the opening, the images being prioritized are the ones of magazine covers that show the name of the film, Teen Spirit. There are about 3 or 4 magazine covers shown in the sequence of the main character being labeled as the "Teen Spirit" because she's an upcoming singer. Other prioritized images include the ones of the main character rushing through the airport in a disguise, her signing autographs in a hurry, her view counts on social media increasing and her in he studio making music. These images were so heavily prioritized to provide the audience with context of what the movie will be about; A teenage star rising in fame hoping to pursue her dream of becoming a singer. These images carry a strong positive connotation because the main character is portrayed to be loved by many based on what we've seen in the images. Next, id like to touch on the genre. The opening establishes feeling for the genre by showing the main character as a girl chasing her dreams to become a famous singer. Like most upcoming stars, they face adversity more than most people, and I think this greatly contributes to the drama genre. One strategy used to keep the audience's attention is the usage of captivating visuals. These visuals include the bright light down when she's performing on stage, her flashy magazine covers and images. This would keep the audience intrigued in the movie enough to continue watching the movie if they're into the whole bright-pop star theme. Lastly, I want to maven to the effectiveness of the technology used in this opening sequence. I think out of every single opeoing I've watched, this one used the widest variety of camera angles, shots, transitions and editing. Throughout the course of the sequence I've identified at least 4 different kinds of shots 2 angles, 2 transitions and 4 editing techniques.

Production Blog: Photoshopping

 okay so today I made used photoshop to create fake screenshots and profiles for the extra characters I'll be using in my opening. so first I started by taking screenshots of my actual instagram page on my MacBook to get a desktop view. Then, I airdropped these screenshots to mymy phone where I input them into this editing software called pics art. in PicsArt I removed the pieces of information I didn't want like the username and flower sound and edited themto customize his fake profile. I blocked out the username (which is my instagram user handle) and changed it to Megan.K (which is the main character's catfish name). Then, I blocked out the bio that I had in place to replace it with something new. In the place of the nameplate I changed it to say Megan Baby and on the third line I put NAHS as a random high school name. Then, for the 3 follower phases I had planned, i made each phase change from 2 to 3 to 4 digits. This is mean to show the drastic increase in followers th

Genre Research: Lady Bird

Image
 The last drama film I watched was Lady Bird. It's a Drama/Comedy and the drama side seems to shine through a lot more here. It's a narrative in the perspective of the main character, Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson. She strives to attend a prestigious college. Unfortunately, her grades aren't the best and she comes from an extremely low income family that's situation increasingly gets worse because her father lost his job. Because of her obsession with going to a prestigious university's, she's willing Tod o everything she can, including betray even her closest friend to make connections. Throughout the course of the movie she and her best friend are seen doing almost everything together but once Lady Bird sets her sight on something new, she often compromises the relationship with her best friend to get it. This creates a major conflict from the start where she slowly but surely changes up her personality to appeal to whoever she's trying to impr

Shantaneil: The Start

Image
 Hello, my name is Shantaneil Francis. I'm currently attending Fort Lauderdale High as a 10th grader this year. This year is very important to me because I've been looking forward to taking this class since last year. One of my reasons being, I've never been the most artistic or creative person, nor have I gotten the opportunity to learn about film or media until I enrolled in Fort Lauderdale High. Another major reason I took this class is to be able to look at the progress I’ve made in this course. A lot of the time, students tend to forget what they’ve learned in a class and move on once they got the credit. I, however, find it rewarding to see how far I’ve come when learning something new that I like. I hope that with the knowledge and possible experience I gain from taking this class that I'm able to develop my creative skills for the future. I've tried testing new hobbies to find something that I enjoy but nothing seems to stick. One thing that I've always
