Analyzing Technical Elements of Film

 Movie: Bad Boys: Ride or Die

In this beginning shot it is a low angle shot of a Miami sign in the opening scene in Bad Boys Ride Or Die. This shot sort of gives us an effect of being smaller than the sign giving it a sort of intimidating or high reputation, most likely because Miami is a well know tourist spot for many people. 

This is a crane camera movement. this establishes the size of the setting compared to the people. this also could help establish to the audience that the setting is a prison given the electrical fence, guards, and the outside gym. It could allow the audience to feel the intensity of the atmosphere with the electrical fence and the prisoners at the gym being all serious and stuff and also the confined feeling of the setting by having the gate being bigger or more closer to the screen than the people.

this is an aerial shot. The camera angle is overhead the two characters. This allows us to see the conflict between the two people. This also allows the audience to feel the anger and danger of the situation happening at that moment. The situation being in the corner could also give an effect that there's no way out at the moment which leads to the feeling of being trapped.
This is a Ground shot. In this scene there is two guards holding the guy down and the camera angle is low to the ground almost at his perspective so that we can have a sense of what he is seeing. In this scene the audience can get that feeling of being in trouble or maybe even worry for the character because we're questioning what's going to happen next. The audience is able to see the hostile environment and tension between the guards and the character being held on the ground.

This is an establishing shot at the beginning of the movie. This scene allows the audience to get an idea of where the movie is taking place. This can create a feeling of recognition in the audience because this establishing shot is in a well known place which is Miami. This could also create a sense of awe in the audience because the setting is made to look cool or better at the angle.

Editing and Transitions

 Titanic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xtVyu-A3vkY Hey guyssss, it's me again!! Today we are going to analyze the editing work and transitions of the opening scene of "Titanic".   Fade- In Transition: (0:04-0:05) -A fade in transition is when the screen fades in from typically a black or white screen. This transition signifies the official opening of the scene, and it fades into a crowd of people waving to the ship which allows the audience to acknowledge the fact that the boat is leaving. The transition also gives the audience an idea of the size comparison between the ship and the people so in a way the ship looks intimidating to the audience.  Straight Cut: (0:11) This replaces the overall beginning scene, and it cuts to the crowd point of view. This makes it easier for the audience to see the enjoyment and feeling of excitement of the people on the boat and off the boat as well. You are able to see them waving and there is also a camera man which could also let...

Challenges in Film

 WAZAAAAA blog!!! Today we are discussing the challenges we have in filming, and there's A LOT.  So, the weekend of the 8th of February our group was supposed to film but 3/4 of my group members were ready to film but unfortunately the fourth member, which is the videographer. So, to deal with this inconvenience we have rescheduled our filming date to a day when we are all available, which is Valentine's Day. We are going to wolf lake park , which we have also had trouble planning exactly where we are filming which was either wolf lake park or tree tops park which is more foresty and filming the first part of our movie intro. The main obstacle we have is trying to work around the group members work schedule which from what you've heard is really challenging . Other than that, every group member has been pulling their own weight . We have all of our props and costumes which is rope, tape, and our regular high school clothes.
