Synergy is when two compan ie s work together in order to come up with a product that promotes both companies.  One of the main things synergies  are used for is the promotion of a food company or a new movie.  The reason for its use is to create more attraction in the companies in order to promote and improve them.   Examples   One example of synergy is between Lexus the car company and the new movie Black Panther Wakanda Forever. These companies came together and made a n ad of the characters from black panther using Lexus's new electric car, this allows for the promotion of the two companies .   Another example of the use of synergy is between McDonald's and the movie Encanto. When the movie Encanto came out Mcdonald's decided to collab with them to create new happy meal toys. This allowed for promotion for not only the movie Encanto but also for Mcdonald's because kids would want the new  toy s and w ould want to watch the new   movie.  

 Media convergence - is the rapid change in today's media. Today's media has evolved to be able to complete multiple functions because of media convergence.  Types of media convergence - There are 5 main types of media convergence they are economic convergence, organic convergence, cultural convergence, global convergence, and technological convergence.  An example of Economic convergence is if a company interests across many different kinds of media. An example of organic convergence is if someone's watching tv, playing music, or texting a friend these are all examples of organic convergence. One example cultural convergence of is if a story flows across several kinds of media platforms. An example of global convergence is if a distant culture influences another culture despite the distance that separates them. An example of technological convergence is the merging of technology's capability. For example, today's phone can watch video's search information, take

1)  Diegetic sound - Is the original sound used when filming a scene.  In a movie or film diegetic is sound that a viewer can identify ether by visual or inference.  This type of sound is great when wanting the audience to focus on the dialogue and character development.  Ex) An example of diegetic sound is a  character's voice when speaking, the roar of a speeding car, or the bang of a revolver. A movie that uses diegetic sound is Car's. This movie uses speeding car sound effects in it.    Here is the sound of a car speeding by.  Vehicle Speeding [SOUND EFFECT] - YouTube 2) Non-diegetic - Is sound added during post-production of the movie or fil m. Non-diegetic is the sound that the characters   cannot  hear. In a movie non- diegetic is great when wanting the audience to feel a certain way like (anxious, uncertain, joyful) about a specific scene or character.  Ex) An example of a Non-diegetic sound is  the  specific adventurous music that is played in Pirates of the Caribbea

1) Two or three shot -  A two or three camera shot is when two-three subjects are in view.  In a movie this camera angle is shown when at least two characters are in view and allows for emotional reactions between the subjects. This shot can also be used to convey different emotions like romance, friendship, action, and tension.  My two or three shot was taken by me, with my friend. We are sitting on one of the red benches outside in the eating area. The picture was shot on my I-phone 13.  2)  M edium camera shot -  A medium camera shot is taken from someone's waist to just above their head. In a film a  medium camera   shot is used to show important movements, body actions, and costumes. This shot also allows for the focus to be on the whole scene instead of an individual character.  This picture was taken in the hallway leading to my media studies class. The picture was shot on my I-phone 13 and  was placed on a windowsill viewing the  gymnasium.  3) O ver-the-shoulder camera sho

 Here is my video link  Marshmallow the new pup on the block - YouTube 1) The main thing I had to prepare before filming was fixing the blanks and toys on the dog bed for the final scene in the movie. I also had to keep toys around the house in order to keep my dog entertained and focused so I could record a video of her.  2) The editing software I used was Canva. This was a great software to add pictures, stickers, and transitions on my video. The only limitation is that if you wanted any of the more unique music and pictures you would have to pay for it.  3) The filming hardware is used was an I-phone 13. This was a good hardware because it was easy to use, and I was very portable. The only limitation it had was that it wasn't the best quality compared to actual movies, but for a short school film it worked just fine. 

 we're creating our first two-minute video based on a movie intro. Our instructions are to think of a movie we want to make, then create an intro to the movie mine is called "Marshmallow the new pup on the block".  Marshmallow the new pup on the block - YouTube 1) The only person that contributed to the video was Kaitlyn C (filmed, actor, producer, and director) and Marshmallow (dog actor)  2) For my story board I planed of creating a movie about a dog that just moved into the neighborhood. The only thing I had to pre plan was my dog's bed for the final scene along with toys around the house in order to get my dog to follow me.  Here is my movie template 

    A two-shot is when two subjects are in view. This camera angle allows for emotional reactions between the subjects. This shot can also be used to convey different emotions like romance, friendship, action, and tension. 

    A medium camera shot is taken from someone's waist to just above their head. This shot is used to show important movements, body actions, and costumes. This shot also allows for the focus to be on the whole scene instead of an individual character. 

    The over-the-shoulder camera shot is taken just behind a person's shoulder while still being able to see the person in front of them. This camera angle will also convey the sense of connection and understanding between the two characters. 

  The point of view shot is used to see the perspective of a person through their eyes. This shot can be used when trying to convey all types of emotions like love, friendship, responsibility, and uncertainty. 

    The extreme close-up shot is when one subject takes up the majority of the frame, and the outer portions of the subject are cut off. This angle is great for showing strong emotions, like fear and anxiety. This camera angle can also be used for inanimate objects when wanting to focus on a single detail, like the title. 

    An eye-level shot is when a camera angle lines up with the subject's eyes. This angle does not require the subject to be looking directly at the camera. The main purpose of the eye-level shot is to simulate a person's perspective and viewpoint. 

  The Dutch camera angle is mainly known for its tilt. This angle is mainly used to show viewers different emotions, like unsettling and disoriented. 

  The low angle shot is when the photo is taken from as far as below their feet but is typically taken below eye level. This shot is mostly used when wanting to convey a strong emotion, like power. 

  A high angle or top angle shot is a camera angle that is taken from an elevated perspective. This angle is commonly taken looking down at a subject. This shot can also be used to show a subject’s response to a scenario. 

  An extreme long shot is a camera angle that’s taken of a wide area. In this angle, the subject does not always need to be in the center, or even focused on. This angle is best used when trying to establish the location of the subject.
