Title Research: Mission Impossible Fallout

 What titles are displayed during the opening sequence? 

In the beginning of the Mission Impossible–Fallout sequence, the company associated with the movie is credited along with the producers (Paramount Pictures, SkyDance, and Bad Robot). It is then followed up by the production team, with Tom Cruise having a huge role in the production and being the main character in the film. Afterward, we are then shown the actors who are part of the making of the film. These people include Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill, Ving Rhames, Simon Pecc, Rebecca Ferguson, and more. After all the actors were shown, the final title given was the name of the movie itself, “Mission Impossible – Fallout".   

What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? 

Throughout the opening sequence of Mission Impossible – Fallout there are many images that are made to be prioritized over others. For instance, almost every scene contains an action or a high-intensity sequence to show that it will be an action film. Another main image is the Fire streak that goes across the screen every so often which may not make sense in the opening but could build the plot in the movie itself. 

What connotations do these images carry? 

From the beginning of the sequence, the movie gives the connotation that this environment is big and popular based, like being in a big city or high in the mountains. Throughout the next scenes, the protagonist is then tracked through the shot and shows him quickly moving throughout each scene, whether it was him fighting or him accelerating rapidly through a motorcycle. The rest of the scenes include drama between characters and many explosions to building up a plot and suspense for the actual movie 

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

The opening sequence of this film is a good representation of the genre presented. It immediately starts with the main character fighting enemies and explosions all throughout. They use many props like the motorcycle to show high-paced scenes and quick movements. The side characters also add a lot to the film like shooting guns and doing parkour to add to the genre of action 

What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience? 

Some strategies that are used to appeal to a target audience would be using fast-paced scenes and fighting. Also including Tom Cruise as the main character is also good because he is mainly known for action movies and bringing him in brings in lots of  

How has technology been used effectively? 

Lots of technology has been used to make this opening and they were used well. First, we have the editing techniques, each scene contains fire constantly and the graphical effects such as the explosions provide loud destruction for viewers. There's also the fact that there are different camera angles, such as a tracking shot of the main character when doing parkour, and a long shot with a gun firing occurring between two separate parties, these camera angles are used throughout each scene. Sound is also used effectively to build up a climax and to add intensity to all the action

Practice Makes Perfect

Image
 Something I really want to get right for this sequence is the establishing/overhead shot using the drone. In order to capture the drone shot I will need to pilot the drone at the correct height while keeping the shot smooth. I want to capture this in a single shot. I have been practicing for this shot for at least 1 hour per day. I will continue to practice until the day we shoot. Drones offer a unique perspective that will allow me to capture cool aerial shots and create more feelings that would be hard to capture any other way. However, it is important to approach drone flying with caution and responsibility. I must be aware of my surroundings and follow all safety guidelines and regulations. It is also crucial to plan out shots in advance and have a clear vision for the final product. I planned out my shots using the storyboard. I have visited the location where I will shoot multiple times. This allows me to understand where I need to fly to capture the best shot. I will use c...

First Day of Editing

Image
  Today I started editing. For this project, I will be using I movie again. Choosing to do this was easy, I used the program to edit the commercial and still remember how to do most of the editing that I need to do. I started by importing all the footage onto my computer. After we got all the footage onto my computer, we started to plan out which shots we wanted and w hen. Since I had filmed some scenes in a different order, I reorganized them correctly to make the editing process easier.   I found myself comparing many of the takes, so I ended up consulting my group mates for assistance. The first big challenge was moving all the footage into the program. This took about twe nty minute s due to the la rge clips that we took. The raw footage was about two minutes and thirty seconds long. Next, I needed to trim down many beginnings and endings of my clips to only include the important parts, and to stay on track with my target time. I was able to cut down the footage...

Comparing Le Jetee, the short, and 12 Monkeys, the full-length movie

Image
  Le Jetée is an influential and highly regarded science fiction film that explores the concept of time travel and the role that memory plays in shaping our perception of reality. The film tells the story of a man who is sent back in time to prevent a future disaster. Who uses a series of still photographs to depict the events of the story. The use of still images gives the film a dreamlike quality and creates a sense of uncertainty as the story unfolds.     One of the major themes of Le Jetée is the relationship between time and memory. The film suggests that our memories are not just a record of the past. But also a way of shaping our understanding of the present and the future. As the protagonist travels back in time, he is forced to confront the memories of his own past and the ways in which they have shaped his understanding of the world. The film also explores the idea that the act of remembering itself can be a form of time travel. Since we revisit the past ...
