Decision Day

Image
    The time has come to debate between a film and a magazine as my project. Both the film option and the  m agazine option seem very appealing, especially because of how interesting it would be to work  with  each one’s   editing software.  The film has Premiere Pro which allows the creator to edit their  recordings from something simple to something sp ectacular. The magazine has  InDesign  which allows t he creator to edit their p roject so that text can be represented well.        My initial impression of  InDesign  was that it would be boring to work with, but that was before I realized wha t  InDesign  was used for.

Opening scenes also show the mood of the film, so the text format needs to match the genre. Most of the time, the audience is able to meet the main character in the opening scene. The audience then gets a better understanding of who the protagonist is.     First of all, i n opening scenes the audience is prepared for what the rest of the film will be about. A film's introduction clip will determine what the audience will think about throughout the rest of the movie. For example, the opening scene for Dazed and Confused was a bunch of teenagers who smoked pot outside of school. This prepares the audience by showing that the film will be about teenagers and their reckless decision making. Another example where the opening scene shows what the audience should expect is Jaws. Jaws showed a group of teens hanging out on the ...
