Genre Research: The Age of Adaline

      While watching the movie I began to notice many elements that the movie has to classify as a romantic movie. Not only is there the cliche romantic plot of the girl meets the guy but it also had every common technique directors normally use for romance moves. In this movie, the element that I have chosen to base off on in my final task is the high key lighting. With the high key lighting, the movie will have a bright and happy feel to it. During the movie, the elements that I liked were the props used. Most of the props were extremely important to the storyline of the movie. One important use of a prop in the movie is the car. Without the use of the car, the main character would have never stopped aging. I also liked the makeup and clothing element in this movie, because it helped the audience see the old-timey type of person Adaline is. I personally don’t have any elements from this movie that did not appeal to me. However, the lighting in some scenes was darker when it was meant to be a happy moment with bright lighting.

 Storyboarding is the process of envisioning your ideas. A quick outline supported by a moderate picture. This gives you an idea of what you'll be filming before you start. This allows you to put your thoughts on paper and organize them. You'll have a clearer idea of what's going on if the story is more descriptive. You map exactly what you'll film and how it'll look scene by scene. Storyboarding is extremely helpful and necessary for the filming stage to run smoothly.

Production Blog final task

    Many of the filming processes have been disrupted for about a week. We're also trying to find out when we'll be able to restart the filming. We're hoping to do it this week during peak daylight hours. To reshoot the entire movie's opening sequence. After reviewing the footage from the previous attempt, we decided to tweak a few minor details. To make the actress stand out more to the audience, we will change her outfit to a lighter choice. For the actress and the specifics to be more lit up, I'll change the lighting to natural light. The camera angles would also be altered to better accommodate the actress's gestures. The setting will be altered to create a more dreamlike atmosphere. I'll also be working on the character's dialogue.

AICE Commercial Reflection questions

Name: Joshua Turk 1.   How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?       When I was filming my commercial, I wanted to make it seem as realistic as possible. I planned on doing it at a baseball field with great weather conditions. Unfortunately, I could not because the weather was not cooperating and the field was flooded. So I resolved to my backup plan. I filmed in a grass field area with a bit of rain. I believe it still looked good even though it would have been better if it was on an actual field. 2.  How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be distributed as a real media text?      My project engages with the audience by showing and advertising the product to the viewers. I showed them how and what it is used for. When watching a commercial, the point of it is to advertise something and make people want to buy that product. For example, commercials such as Geico show their famous lizard speaking about i
