AICE Media Studies - Title Research: Friday Night Lights

 The opening sequence of Friday Night Lights features the title of the movie in white letters against a black background. The letters appear to be made of a metallic material, which reflects light and creates a sense of energy and movement. The opening sequence of Friday Night Lights prioritizes images of football games, players, and fans. The sequence features close-up shots of players' faces, helmets, and equipment, as well as panoramic views of football fields, stadiums, and crowds. The images in the opening sequence of Friday Night Lights carry connotations of passion, intensity, and community. The focus on football games and players suggests that the story will be about the high-stakes world of high school football, while the shots of fans and crowds suggest that the story will explore the role of football in shaping the identity of small-town America. The film Friday Night Lights establishes a feeling of the sports drama genre from the outset by featuring images of football games and players, as well as by using music to create a sense of excitement and anticipation. The opening sequence also introduces the themes of community, identity, and aspiration that are central to the sports drama genre. To appeal to its target audience, the film Friday Night Lights uses several strategies, including the incorporation of familiar sports drama elements, such as underdog stories, dramatic victories and defeats, and the search for personal and collective meaning through sports. The film also features a cast of young and attractive actors, who appeal to teenage audiences, and a soundtrack that includes popular rock and country music. Throughout the film, technology is used to create a sense of immediacy and intimacy in the football scenes, with camera angles and editing techniques used to create a sense of tension and excitement. The film also uses sound effects and music to enhance the impact of the football scenes, and to create an emotional connection between the audience and the characters. The use of slow-motion shots, quick cuts, and handheld cameras also adds to the intensity and realism of the football scenes.

Creative Critical Reflection

  The commercial for my product, Gatorade, uses convention in terms of the style of commercials filmed. In most if not all Gatorade commercials, it contains someone doing something athletic or sports related such as playing a sport or working out at the gym. This is what we used to base our commercial off of. These commercials are also normally highly energetic which we used to help pick a style of music to play in the background. This commercial also highlights athletic social groups and some of the things associated with them. It shows that Gatorade helps to decrease dehydration in these athletic groups while participating in tiring activities, such as working out.  The commercial engages audiences by not only encouraging them to buy the product, but also to participate in athletic activities, which is good for you. The commercial shows that Gatorade helps stop dehydration which could encourage more people to buy the product to drink while working out or playing a sport. The commerci

Finally Filming

  Today Zane and I finally filmed the commercial and finished it. After all the hurricane delays plus another unexpected incident, he and I finally found time to film. The gym was a bit full for a little while so it wasn't as quick as expected. There were a couple people that gave recommendations but we stuck to our storyboard. I was the actor in the commercial and Zane was the director. He took 7-21 second videos of many different workouts and picked the best few to include. A few videos were excluded because of the people in the background that did not want to be filmed. Zane filmed using his iPhone instead of a professional camera. It was easier for both of us to use his phone instead of taking the time to find a real camera. He took shots from high and low angles to capture the best views. In total, it took around 30 minutes to film all that we needed. Zane looked over the videos to see what he could use for editing. He did not edit it on that same day because there was not e

Editing !!

 Today Zane started the editing process. After a long wait, filming is finally complete and editing can begin. He will use Adobe Editing Software for most of the editing and maybe iMovie for the rest. The editing is really easy for him and he enjoys it so I don’t have to do much editing. I’ve tried and asked but he refuses to let me touch editing because he enjoys it. He edited the last video so it was easier for him to just do this one too. When he is done, I will get opinions from other people on what to do better next time. There were new angles in this video that I would like outside opinions on. I will ask a bunch of different people to hopefully get honest opinions. Once reviewing the finally opinions, I can finalize the video for submission. Most of the editing will be done separately because it is easier that way. I cant really help a lot either way so it’s not like Zane will need me for anything. He said he hopes to finish early so he has time to review. I will also review it
