Researching costume designs

    My partners and I decided today that we needed outfits for our film. Jorge felt that getting the costumes early would be best in case they were hard to come by or in short supply. And so I chose to conduct research in order to choose the design of the costumes we would use for our final Task. I began by looking at military costumes on the internet to see if there were any good costumes. We came across a few that piqued our curiosity. We kept these costumes in our minds.
    
    Next, I went to Google Images to hunt for military costumes. There were a couple of other costumes that caught my eye. Following that, I wanted to see if there was a nice website where I could discover good costume designs. There were a few websites that I browsed through. Party City was one of the websites that caught my interest. It was simple to find everything we wanted on the website, and it was well-organized. PartyCity.com was the website that I ended up using to locate costume designs as there were many military styled outfits to look for.
    
    After I finished researching costume designs, Jorge went out to go look for some costumes to buy for us. While browsing the store, Jorge saw that they had a variety of items that may be used in our opening sequence. To add some little accurate details, such as blood and war paint. Then he went to the costume section, where he discovered three distinct military outfits. However, none of them were really appealing to him, so he kept them in mind and took some photos.

    Jorge ended up getting a uniform elsewhere, so at least we got one early. Now we won't have to worry about that for later.

Beginning of Editing

Image
    Today I started to edit my scenes for my commercial. To edit the scenes I used iMovie. Some of my scenes were filmed a few times so I will review and choose the best one. Then after choosing the best scenes, I will start to edit the scenes. I was looking at the length of each of my scenes and estimated how long my commercial will be. Some of the scenes need to be cut and merged with another scene.           I did research on how to edit/cut videos. I researched this so that I  know how to to cut and edit my scenes. Also, I searched up how to use iMovie since it is my first time using it for something. There was lots of information online on how to use iMovie and how to edit in general and the sources were very useful. I started editing my first scene and I tried to cut a second off the scene and merge it with my next scene. This required my editing to be precise because if I made a mistake, I would have to redo it.     I tried a...

Title Design Research: Action

   Title Design Research: Action Detective Pikachu: 1.How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? Lots of titles are shown in the opening sequence of the movie. The usual ones such as Director and assistant director are shown. Since the movie had many different visual effects there was an emphasis on that part of the crew, such as the visual effects director.  2.What connotations do the images carry? (how do you they make you feel) They bring about a sense of nostalgia, especially for those who have been pokemon fans for years. They are bright and colorful and appear to be alive.  3.How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you tell what genre the film is) The exact genre isn’t made too apparent but by watching a pokemon related movie one is to expect some kind of action going in.  4.What conventions are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience? Well one of the...

Common Sound in the action genre: Sound is a crucial element in any film, and the action genre is no exception. Action films often use fast-paced, intense music and sound effects to match the high-energy action on screen.
