Title Research: Watch The Titles

Image
  As I came on the site, I noticed something interesting. It had different movies playing on the front. That caught my eye. Something different is that it had the designers and studios in two different sections. The last site didn't do that. All in all, it was interesting going through and finding more designers and studios. Some that I didn't find on the other site. It even has the sequences for video games. This  is a really interesting site. I went into detail and clicked onto it and it actually has a full description of the games, the designer.

Title Research: Art of the Title Website

Image
  I saw the different sequences available in movies. The different variety of title sequences caught my eye too. There's a lot of different designers and the studios they use. I didn't think there were so many studios.   Mimi Everett is a title designer and visual effects artist. She has contributed to a lot of works. Along with the other designers, they all have something in common. They are very good at what they do. As I was exploring, I saw some of them have a lot of accomplishments and work. An interesting fact to learn.

Genre Research: White Chicks

Image
  The elements of this movie that my final task is based on is sarcasm and exaggeration. The film shows sarcasm all throughout. Inversion is shown too. The twin brothers turn into white girls.   It also plays on stereotypes a lot in 'White Chicks' which adds to the comedic value of the film and is probably what makes it most memorable.    It is made clear that the two friendship groups have had an ongoing dispute for some time.  Instead of doing the typical action fight scene, they play with the comedic feature by turning it into a ridiculous dance battle. Which also emphasizes the misconception that girls don't fight, physically. The element of exaggeration is took to a different extent.    This adds to the stereotype of the American Beverly Hills/Hampton girls over the top, girly and ridiculous attitudes of having to be better than the other. And by reflecting on the girls' sassiness and determination to look sexier than the other. Showing the m...

Genre Research :A Madea Family Funeral

Image
  The elements of this movie that my final task is based on is sarcasm and exaggeration. The film shows sarcasm all throughout. Madea was being very sarcastic towards her family and exaggerated her jokes. It's relatable and makes me laugh and I even started crying because of how funny it was. The elements it had that I liked is the sarcasm and even more sarcasm. The whole family    Most of the scenes are made back and forth comedic banter with the characters whether it be in the home, hospital or hotel. In the funeral,it was  a lot more movement of characters and overall interaction. Which made a little odd twist on the funeral setting.  With topics about family . Although the movie is  on a lighter comedic note. I found this character named Joe to be a little funnier than Madea. There is one funny scene that does shine a light on the issues of police brutality against people of color. Which does provide for some good  commentary on the subject.  ...

Genre Research: Bad Boys

Image
  Bad boys main elements are the slapstick violence and farce. T he ' buddy comedy ' genre is fairly well-known.  There have been plenty of them, all of them primarily based on the basic idea of having two main characters.  Who are, well, buddies; they act like friends to each other.  They get in fights, they help each other out. They also compliment each other.  This all starts from a case involving someone  w hose evidence from a $100 million heroin bust is stolen. Who get in trouble with the chief, who yells at them. And with a chick from Internal Affairs, who takes them off the case. While all of this, they still find a way to make jokes. The plot is like a jigsaw puzzle with pieces.    The dialogue runs on endlessly. This emphasizes the point of farce because this is all happening so quickly. There are also a lot of curious interludes in which Lawrence and Smith do verbal riffs.  Interrupting each other, stream of consciousness. Finishin...

  The genre that will be included in the opening sequence is .....comedy. The reason for this is because comedy is so interesting.  I like the sarcasm of comedy.   The way people react to things is so funny to me.  The genre of comedy is so broad and it's open to so many things.  There's so many different variations of comedy. Not even the just the types of comedy, the jokes too. Some jokes are more tough love type of jokes.  A lot of people actually enjoy comedy. Some don't also, but who can't enjoy a little laugh.  It makes sense to why I picked this genre especially because the type of person I am.  I love to make jokes. Not even making fun of people, just being able to make a joke about something  makes my day and some others too. I know a lot of people who can honestly say comedy is their  favorite genre. So that brings me back . I choose comedy. For various reasons as you can see. Comedy actually sells a lot in theaters. Some of th...

Genre Research: Comedy

  This powerpoint is on comedy. I did research on a certain genre and that turned out to be comedy. Common lighting found in this genre is high-key lighting. Comedies tend to have extreme close ups and normal angles as well .  The lighting in a comedy film would also be potentially brighter as to  reflect the mood and to film . The costume designs in comedy films change. The acting is goofy and funny.  The make-up in comedy is more precise and colorful.  Props in comedy change in accordance to the tone of the film.  It can vary anywhere from not too bright to not too dark.     One of the main elements of comedy is exaggeration. Bad boys is very well known comedy film. I like the sarcasm of comedy.   The way people react to things is so funny to me.  The repetition that it brings sometimes though, is a big throw off.   A common sound found are crickets.   This sound shows the awkward silence in the room.  Also, it can somet...

My Pitch

Image
   A basketball themed movie. At the same time, i had a soccer idea. World cup ,all countries come out and support. Then again, this isn't going to work. I can't get all countries to come out. Basketball is perfect. Now  I have to take some to realize what to plan to produce the product.  From there it should be a instant lightbulb .  The materials and surroundings that i have kind of make it hard but I can still pull it off somehow. I have to bring out some of my  basketball skills out. I'm still really trying to understand what i have to do. Then it should gradually come.  I noticed  how big my backyard actually is.  The fact that I am able to do what makes me happy is nice.  It'll feel like I am in one of those movies like the celebrities. Just wished I could get paid.  I hope it doesn't rain. It should turn out a success . Personally, It doesn't look bad.  . Plus, it doesn't feel like "work"as some would say.

   Hello, my name is Jumaine Forrest.I'm in 10th grade and in other words,a sophomore. At first, I was just taking this class to get a credit, but now, I'm a little more interested in getting to know media. I'm Jamaican and I tend to go there every year. I was supposed to go this year, but the pandemic ruined it for me and my family. I go to Fort Lauderdale High and I live in Florida.  Hobbies that i have are playing video games, and eating. I know eating isn't really a hobby but my favorite food is jerk chicken. You know I got to represent my home country. Even though I'm born in America, i'm really tied to Jamaica. Hopefully soon, i'll be able to move down there. The sport that I grew up playing was soccer, but as I got older, I started playing baseball. Current time came and i'm starting to play basketball. I lost interest for baseball sadly. When school starts back, I'm going to try out for the team. There's not really much to me but one thin...
