Production 3- Athlete Choice and Preparation

    For our next step in our project, we have chosen our athletes. For my athlete of choice, I am choosing Madison McDonald. I have chosen her because she is a freshman on varsity basketball. She is rather tall for a freshman and is a very strong asset to the team. She contributes with her athleticism, height, work ethic, and game skill. Madi also played freshman volleyball for the school. With Madi as my chosen athlete I think it will be an interesting article. Lanie’s athlete of choice is Haven Wyles. Haven is a friend of ours and a very athletic individual. Ella is small, muscular, and very, very fast. Ella has also done other sports in the past such as dance and does track and cross country for the school. With us being friends with our chosen athletes it will be even more fun because we know the people and can work and incorporate them into our portfolio project.  We practiced taking pictures of them and getting an idea of what kind of pictures we want in our magazine. We took many shots such as long shots, medium shots, and a few close ups.

Title Sequence Clips

Image
           My initial impressions of the impact of the opening sequences of films on how they develop the interest of the audience was I had mixed feelings. Some of the opening scenes music and lettering did not match the theme or plot of the movie. For example, in Dazed and Confused there was softer introduction music and letters for a movie about drugs. I would have thought the music would have been more intense. However, this could be foreshadowing in the sense that it could be a less action packed movie. But some of the opening clips such as the one from Rise of War Dogs had more upbeat, hype and intense music and the viewers could foreshadow this is going to be an action packed, interesting and eventful movie. This is also because in the opening scene there was a group of guys that were clearly friends or knew each other, walking in slow motion with the intense music in the background.       These opening scenes also help the u...

Storyboarding

       Creating my storyboard was an interesting experience. There were ups and downs  and  many emotions  during this process of storyboarding. Something that was challenging was trying to think about how we  must  take t he pictures of the athlete's and changing our outline because the idea we had befor e  would not work with  Lanie and I’s  lives and schedule's because we would have to travel and we wanted to make something good that wouldn’t cause us an insane amount if stress.  We were going to do women ’ s  major league sports but once we found out we had to take the pictures and interview the women ourselves we realized th a t was not an optio n  in our position. T h is is because Lanie and I are  both student athletes ourselves, so we are very busy. We decided to do the sports we play at Sarasota because it is interesting and easily accessible but still a good topic. We enjoye d  thinking of the...

Post Production 1- Editing

      T he next step in the production process is editing my InDesign project. There  were  a  few things  I needed to fix , especially with my text  and some other areas that needed to be adjusted  to fit my peers and my feedback . To start, I changed my text to  the  Impact  font  to make it look  sportier  and give the readers that sort of feel as they see my pr oject. Another thing I changed was outlining all my text titles on  all  the pages and the Title page  in black  especially because in my peer review, they said  it was a little hard to see because the text was  white,  and the cover picture was a little bright.  So now the titles are still white but outlined in black.  Going along with the text, I made it  bigger because there was empty space that needed a little more filling.  I kept the red lettering for the subtitles and the title for the ...
