Title Research: The Twilight Zone

 The Twilight Zone was a very strange television show, and its intro sequence is no difference. Theres a lot going on so answering these questions will be a bit of a challenge. 

- What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? Most of this intro just displays images floating around. At the end of the intro the title of the show is displayed.

- What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?: There's a bunch of floating objects going throughout a space like area. These are definitely the priority of the intro.

- What connotations do these images carry?: These images give off a very strange connotation. The randomness of them together creates a eerie mood.

- How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?: This is one of the most sci fi intros I have ever seen. By using a bunch of scientific random objects as well as a space background, the film screams sci fi.

- What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?: The music in this intro was iconic for fans which helped retain an audience. Another thing going for it was how different this intro was from every other show.

 - How has technology been used effectively? You want to consider camera angles, transitions and editing techniques.: This technology is definitely unique. By using strange angles and a fade transition for the objects the technology of its time was definitely utilized.

Music Video

   Here it is, the Yon Yonson music video. After quite a bit of recording and editing the video is finally here to watch. The video is basically a 20 second song looping with slight differences each time. The first time I play the ukulele in the first scene and lip sync the words of the song. After that I use a clip of a passerby asking for Yon Yonson's name.  The kind stranger who asks for Yon Yonson's name is none other than Barack Obama! Due to the lack of actors available for recording I could not do the street passerby scene. As a replacement for this I used video clips from other media and tried to lip sync them with the song lyrics. Unfortunately the lip syncing wasn't perfect due to time constraints, but It worked well enough. In the next scene I play the accordion in the same basic position as the first scene. If you couldn't tell from me playing the ukulele, you could definitely tell that I don't have musical talent from how I played the accordion. Althoug

Genre Research: Action

  This video is my PowerPoint presentation about action movies. The video above lists lots of things that are used in action films. I've always really liked watching action movies so this was my first choice of genre to write about. Most of my favorite movies are action movies so I like to think that I know a good deal about them. The first slide of this PowerPoint is about how lighting is used in action movies. Lighting is used to create atmosphere, for instance dark lighting is used to create gloomy more serious mood. Bright lighting on the other hand is used for more peaceful scenes. Bright lighting isn't commonly used in action movies since it doesn't fit with the violence taking place. The camera angles of action movies are usually dramatic in order to fit the action that's taking place in the movie. Mid shots are used quite often in order to show all the characters at once. This is done so that the viewer can see all the action that is taking place in the film. Wi
