Annotation of a Character

These past few weeks in class we have been working on how to correctly analyze and annotate a character in order to understand the Mise En Scene and film conventions the director and screen writer used to bring the character to life. I completed a practice exercise of annotating the character Starfire from the series "T.I.T.A.N. S". Starfire is an alien from another planet who has come to earth because a rival alien race has taken over and enslaved the aliens of her planet. Starfire manages to escape and when she comes to earth, she joins a group called the teen titans and together they fight crime. Some adjectives I would use to describe her is strong, intelligent, and skilled. My analysis of one specific shot can be seen down below where Starfire has bright orange hair, and the flame of her powers are showing. She looks like she is about to engage in a fight.

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
