Editing and Sound activity (The Giver Analysis) Part 1

 The production companies were TWC and Walden Media. The titles were a background or establishment for the movie like an exposition.  An Exposition is the very beginning of the plot like context for the rest of the plot to continue. Some techniques that were primarily used were sound, color, editing, and camera movement. 
 The opening image setting is a community of homes where families reside. The location is outside, and the image is an establishing shot of where the characters will be. The genres are sci-Fi, Drama, and action. The themes of the giver are Coming of age and individual Vs Society. The tone that the opening image sets is gloomy and depressing, the narrator’s voice is very monotone, and the image is shot in black and white, and the houses look exactly like one another and are very generic. There are no children playing outside and the community looks very bleak. The mood that the opening image represents is very dull. Nothing stands out except for how simple and basic everything seems to be. It is very apparent to the audience that it is meant to be very monotonous.

Media studies have so far taught me the importance of understanding how the media is used to engage audiences.      What I hope to get out of the experience of learning media studies is generating a basic understanding of how media affects me and how I can apply to know those skills to my soon adult/career life. 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
