Acting in film

 Acting in film is a character who embodies a role in which they are portraying a story. There are different elements in acting that help tell the story. These include Appearance, Facial expression, Body Language, Voice Qualities, Personality, role, and actions. Appearance is how the character looks. Facial expression is the look the character has on their face. body language refers to what the character is doing head to toe that evokes a feeling to an audience. Voice qualities is how the character sounds when speaking. (This can vary. For example, someone sounding discouraged in their voice). Personality is distinctive character traits that the person has. A role is what the character plays. Actions is what the character does in the storyline. In a movie analysis of acting, I gathered examples of these elements of acting in the film "secret Obsession". This activity especially helped with understanding acting conventions so that when my teammates and I prepare to make our movie we have an idea of what to portray. The graphic organizer is below.

I would like to be able to break down certain media pieces to interpret them and respond or react accordingly. Some of the media I consume on the daily basis include social media, prin...

Setting, Set Design, and Props Preliminary Exercise

 Production Design  Production design is the overall visual look or aesthetic of a story. There are different factors that make up production design in a movie including setting, set design, and props. These three contribute greatly to the overall feel the audience decodes. The role that setting plays is showing the importance of the place the movie takes place in to the plot. Set design can also widely contribute to the feelings of the characters in the scene and props do this also. The production designer is responsible for production design. It is significant to audience because it helps convey deeper meaning for the audience to decode. The primary purpose of production design is to create a mood, articulate themes, and eternalizes the state of a character. The major responsibilities of a production designer include identifying a design style for sets, locations, graphics, props, lighting, camera angles and costumes. video link: https://youtu.be/wNXNEs2eBkg
