Musical Media Moments

The CGI short film that I have chosen to review is Portal No Escape which was produced by Cathleen Alexander, Stephen Hens, and Ashley Adams. The very first thing that got my attention when I watched this was the setting of the film and the character. There is a woman in what is a small room surrounded by walls with seemingly no door and no windows. It made me wonder why this woman is in this place and what happened prior to this event. The thing that made me the most interested in watching was how when the main character broke out of the room with a portal gun was the depth of the portal. The portals seemed to go on forever and appeared to be surrounded by a ring a fire and ice, two different materials, that added to the depth and how interesting they looked. The role of technology in this film is to make the viewer think that the portals are real so people believe that it is possible and will wonder where the person is going to end up. Then towards the endthe main character reaches w...

The 3D video game that I have decided to review is EA's FIFA. I have decided to review this because the game looked like it would be fun to play and the game is based off of something in real life. The effects in the game were interesting and they looked as real as it could be considering that the game is animated. Another reason that I chose this game was because I liked the fact that they had real players come into a studio and then they animated each of the players and made them into characters.

It allows the players and the directors to see how they are going to be moving in the game. That way the game flows more smoothly and the actions of the characters aren't robotic, which me...

Introduction I choose the advertisement of Century Link - The Power to Connect. I chose this advertisement to review because when you first start watching it the screen is immediately split left and right with two different images. The video then proceeds with the two different views of the world and how things are different in different locations. On the left side there is life in the city with people moving around by either walking or on a bus with different locations you would find in the city. Then on the right side of the screen you have a more rural life, with dirt paths and bikes on what appears to be a farm. How in different places people's lives are different but they are intertwined, and how even though it's different it's still home to different people . Message C ommunicated   The message that is being communicated is that Century Link has been helping people connect for over 80 years, and that how to is helping people all over the country. From coast to co...
