  How Does Your Product Use or Challenge Conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? Our product might challenge typical conventions as it does include the typical animated closeup of the gum pack at the end of the commercial. In most of the gum commercials that we reviewed, the final scene was a close-up shot of the gum pack in front of a green screen - often including animated movements as well. In our commercial, however, we decided to make the final close-up shot of the pack of gum recorded by hand. We did this for consistency so the commercial flowed. However, it also represents some common aspects found in the average gum commercial. A common theme in these advertisements is bringing together a social group or pair. They represent the common issue of facing obstacles when socializing and provide a solution through the gum, allowing the gum to represent common ground for all parties to come together on. In our commercial, we followed this theme by showing ...

 Welcome back everyone! Today, I'll be telling you guys about my fourth day of production for this project. In my last blog, I talked about the final details of preparation that was taken prior to filming and  mentioned the first scene.

  Hey guys, so the next step we took in researching our title was to watch an example of an opening sequence from a horror movie. We used the website Art of the Title and watched the opening sequence from the movie "Nanny." 1. What titles are displayed during the opening sequence? The titles displayed during the opening sequence were "Amazon Studios Presents," production companies, and "a film by" (producer). 2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? The images prioritized are of a woman laying down with a spider crawling on her face. The woman has her eyes closed for the majority of the time, until the very end when they fly open and she gasps. 3. What connotations do these images carry? The women lying down seems at first to be peaceful, however, the presence of the spider carries a negative connotation. Spider's are typically thought of as terrifying creatures and symbolize fear. The presence of the spider on the one's face can sho...
