Hey, welcome back! In commercials on donuts, there’s a mix of diegetic and non-diegetic sound. Diegetic sound is an important aspect. There is music in the back of each scene that fits the mood and appeals to the viewer. If characters are shown, then there’s dialogue used to move the scene along. A lot of the time there are voice overs that narrate about the coffee or food that’s shown. Ambient sound is background noise which can be heard as other characters in the background of the shop or just surrounding noise present. In certain commercials there’s point of view shots and eyeline matches, in which the camera is what the barista would be seeing and doing. There's a lot of high and low camera angles for dramatic effect, for example, when they are drizzling caramel or chocolate on top of the coffee or donut. There are a lot of close ups and zooms on the desired products to emphasize the food presented. There is a lot of cross cutting to different people in these commercials. Sometimes commercials use split screen to show the companies two different products; like donuts and then coffee. There are normally a lot of editing effects like fade ins/outs and reverse shots to create a dramatic and entertaining commercial. The props are the coffee and donuts. Costume refers to a person's or a group's particular manner of dressing that reflects what the character represents. The character’s are normally in everyday clothing or in business casual clothing, because they could be going to work. The lightning and colors are normally very bright and colorful or very dramatic and dark. They’re bright and colorful when there’s characters and there’s cross cutting between scenes, they’re more dramatic and dark when they’re just focusing on the product. Depending on how the commercial wants to present their product, depends on how its shot. Some commercials just focus on the product, while others have another storyline to it. Anyways, it was nice talking to you. Catch you later.
The mystery short film I watched was Party to Murder by Strobie Studios. The actors gathered together at this old style mansion to play a game of murder mystery while at a masked party. Will they play a harmless game or is the reality of death knocking on their front door? The director included a plot twist which is what ultimately made the short film a good watch. At the beginning of the film the director used upbeat music and close up angles of a couple dressed in fancy attire. The upbeat music explained the mood of the couple, as they were laughing and excited for their upcoming party. However as the car approached the home the music took a turn for the dark. The music began to speed up and the musical notes selection became very ominous. A big tactic used in mysteries especially murder mysteries in plot twists. Plot twists leave the audience highly surprised making it the best way to recapture a viewer's attention. Nobody wants to sit through a movie where every scene is easi...
