Title Research: Parasite

1. What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? 

The title on this film is very simplistic, the first thing you see being "CJ Entertainment Presents" and "A Barunson E&A Production" followed by the next shot of them living in a not so nice home as we get a street level view of the neighborhood to show the disparity while the name of the movie "Parasite" is etched into one of the windows.

2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? 

The first panels we see is Kim's family in a cramped semi basement apartment, by doing this quickly, the viewers can instantly get a grasp on their economic status in the movie and even get some ideas on where the movie is is heading later in the film. As well as the family tries to figure out their neighbors Wi-Fi password as they cannot afford their own.

3. How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?

One of the biggest things is how they show the contrast in the living conditions. For instance in the start of the movie they show Kim's cramped tiny apartment in which his living conditions are severely horrible. This is completely contrasted to when the Park family is introduced, creating a great divide between the two classes. As well as showing the immediate greed of Kim's family when the two families begin to merge due to their meticulous planning on how to get rid of the family.

Production Blog: Planning

  Hi guys!! It's Eva again! I just wanted to update you guys on my commercial and how it's going! So, I finally decided which editing software I want to use. I was thinking about using CapCut originally since it was something I heard my friends using, but I decided to use iMovie instead. I've already previously used iMovie for similar projects, so I'm somewhat familiar with it. Plus, iMovie is just something I have easy access to since it comes on my Apple products!  I know that in my last post I said that I was hoping to bring at least a few clips I decided on DEFINITELY using in my commercial, and I did! Though I still need to figure out how I'm going to put it all together for it to flow nicely, I finally have some of the clips and videos I'm going to use. Of course, I still want to record some bits for the commercial, so I'm missing those clips too. Some of the clips I chose to use are mostly live photos from some of my most precious and notable moments.

Reflection on Commercial

       Hi guys! We finally all finished our commercials and I am so proud with the way mine turned out! I learned a lot throughout this commercial, I learned how to use iMovie and got a lot more comfortable compared to when I first started this project.      To start off with, I learned how to use iMovie, Voice Recorder on my iPhone, and other apps for recording and picture taking. With iMovie I learned how to do a lot and I can't even begin to describe how much time I spent on YouTube learning how to navigate iMovie. I learned how to add music and combine clips, as well as adding transitions and adding text to the clips. I also learned that I had a Voice Recorder app on my phone this whole time which I thought was kinda silly. It allowed me to easily record audio clips that I can insert into my commercial super easy! It is something that I can definitely find myself using again. I also learned some stuff with my camera on my phone! I learned that I can record in 120 fps (frames pe

Music Video Conventions

   Hi guys!! I hope you guys are all doing well! For my music video, I wanted to talk about the conventions in Alternative R&B. Since the song I chose, "Good Days" by SZA, is Alternative R&B, I looked at songs within the same genre to see if there was a common theme between them all. Not only did I encounter a bunch of new music I enjoyed, I also found a bunch of similarities between the music videos. In all of the Alternative R&B music videos I watched, the theme of "good vibes" was always conveyed somehow. For example, in SZA's music video, she's in a sort of wonderland. She dances and seems to be just enjoying herself in this wonderland. Of course, this could be obvious though since the song's name is "Good Days." Another example of the theme of "good vibes" being expressed is in Steve Lacy's "Bad Habit," in which he appears to be in an empty room just having fun. He dances to himself as he wears some cool
