Composing my Frames

 I chose this picture because of the beauty of snow canyon. I was on top of a ledge looking out and I can see how pretty much awesome this picture is. But I never notice that it has a feeling to it. The never ending feeling that something is always behind something and that it never ends. In Snow Canyon it isn't as big as the national parks we have in Utah but it does have its own way to say it is different. As you can see with the clouds, mountains, and even the ground you can't tell where the ending will be because everything crosses each other.

Visceral Response

I chose this image because of the peace that it give. I took this picture my first year at Dixie because of what it felt to me. The warm feeling that comes to this. The mixer of lines and color gives the feeling of a good sunset. With the football field lights standing there in the back while the sky turns into these different colors.

It personally gives me the feeling that nothing could mess up a picture. It is a picture that you can have hanging on a wall in a house. It shows the great sunset that we have in town and brings up unique colors that is rarely seen around the United States.

Communcation Artifact- Visual Poster Design

What I did for my part was to give a visual view on how people would see a restaurant advertisement. When people see a poster or something that is labeling what you are trying to marker they should see that it is simple and gets the point you are trying to sell. With out restaurant Chef Alfredo I wanted to change the way of an everyday Italian restaurant would show.



With this you can tell that it is an Italian restaurant but it looks like something that you see all the time and nothing comes out and gets your attention. It looks like an older logo and doesn't show that it changed for the new times that is now. When I saw this all I thought of was pizza because I have seen logos and signs just like this and that's all they served.

What I did was gave a simple change and brought out that fact that it is an Italian restaurant. The color represented as an indication that it was Italian food and is more as a home restaurant then your average Olive Garden. The restaurant has a more classy feeling this any restaurant in town and wanted to show that if people saw their poster around town

Personas:

Cason, 19, is a student at Dixie State University and he is taking his new girlfriend on a date. He has gone to Chef Alfredo's restaurant before and he loves how intimate it is. He is nervous about taking her out on their first official date. When he thinks romantic he thinks Italian and steak. They have a great time there and it becomes their spot for every anniversary.

The Barca family are Italian and they love when their family gets together and has a huge Italian meal. Unfortunately they are far from their family that live in New York. Their family moved down here because they were looking for something more quiet and family friendly. They want to go to a nice Italian place that isn't too mainstream and that is authentic and reminds them of home.

Madison is 23 and just moved to St. George from California. She moved here because of the affordable schooling. When she was in California she liked to explore differ went small restaurants because those were the ones that were the most authentic. She saw a poster on the Sun Tran of Chef Alfredo and was interested to see if it was genuine Italian food or if it was just another Olive Garden.

Objectives:

The goal is that their brand identifies with the type of food he serves there. Currently his identity looks outdated and overdone. The goal is to put the best light on this restaurant to get more people eating at his restaurant.  

Mis-en Scene: Interstellar (viusal)

Interstellar (2014) is a mind blowing movie that brings out the sci-fi and your inamgination. The scene that my group has choose is the only scene that will have you wondering is there more to life or just leave you stuck you wont know what is happening.

Paul J. Franklin is the visual effects lead in this movie. With his good relationship with the director Christopher Nolan, Paul was the only person to fit his ideas of Christopher crazy ideas. With his work on Inception, Mission Impossible-Rouge Nation, and the resent Batman trilogy, this movie was right up his alley to be great.

Gernally visual effects artist have a tough time just to guess what the mind of the director is wanting in their film. But with this movie almost the impossible has to be done. The scene that we had picked had never been done in a movie before. Bringing x, y, and z lines, planes, vertical and horizontal lines, pretty much everything you wanted to have it was in one scene. The whole consecpt was to have you see that no matter where you looked there is another demionsion to look at. Everywhere you looked was a different event happening that was strenghed over time. They had to focus on the darkness of space, unnatural events, as well as effects that will seem so normal to us but twist it into something that no one can explain.

With this movie the were over 100 people working on the visual effects. The effects were brought to bring a 4-demionsion space, to keep the eye from focusing on everything and not make it as confusing as shown. The nature was that each box is a different time on Murph and Cooper relations with that one room.
