Studying semiotics with chart (Preliminary Exercise)



     This is the classwork from Friday 11/4/21. For this assignment, we got to pick our own trailers from the past 5 years to analyze our signs and symbols for their signifiers and denotative/connotative signs. For my movie, I choose Batman V. Superman Dawn of Justice. I choose this trailer because I love the action/superhero genre and I know these genres have several of the signs as it is a movie based on two opposing sides which different views of the world
    
    The trailer used will be helpful later when drafting the intro for my group's movie because we agreed on action as a genre. This graph gives insight into how factors such as colors can create tension and meaning. When making this I was noting how within the movie props made impactful changes to the tone of the scene. My group and I plan on adapting that into our movie by using a prop as the main point in our intro while keeping the prop as something small.

           For section 2 of the midterm, we were tasked with answering questions about the intended messages and audience of the film. The group worked together on this part. For questions that needed research, my groupmate Nicholas who was primarily in charge of the section would, research and explain what he found.

Final Product (post production)

             https://youtu.be/UvkJotit_yQ                     After months of research, analysis, and production we finally finished our intro. We decided to give the main character (Spence Spencer), narration during the intro and ending sequences. During our first edit, we looked back at comedy movies and realized many had the main character narrate while no dialogue was occurring. We decided to follow this convention. We also added a new scene at the end to better establish the narrative of the rest of the movie. Another change that was added was the makeup. In our first draft it was obvious we never put thought into the makeup so we changed that by using makeup to give Spencer the main character a black eye in the last shot.
