Intro Blog

    Good Morning everyone, my name is Mariajose Martinez Lopez and I am 17 years old. I was born and raised in La Ceiba, Honduras for the first 6-7 years of my life till I moved to the United States in 2013. I am the oldest of 3 kids, my younger brother is 13 and my younger sister is 7. I live with both my mother and father and my siblings, of course! Living in the United States is obviously very different than living in Honduras for sure. It is a lot more busy and has very populated cities as well, people are always working and kids are always out with their friends when they aren't at school. Family dinners aren't as common but traveling is. One thing I love to do with my family is travel. We have traveled to Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, pass by the Virginia's and more. My top two trips was to Disney World/Island of Adventures and going to an underground water fall (Ruby Falls) and hiking plus another water fall in (Rock City). We always do road-trips so we can take stops around each state to explore. Although traveling 13+ hours with younger siblings get a little annoying...hahahaha...but I still love them. In the future I hope to go to South Korea with my mom and get to try all their delicious food. As well as spend a whole summer touring Europe with my aunts from Germany.

    My future career is to become an International Business Lawyer. I will first get my degree in international business and then law school. I am graduating this school year 23-24 so I am getting to making my decisions on what colleges I want to apply to. It has been very stressful with everything going on with college essays, college applications, school, extracurriculars and more but I am still very excited for this upcoming stage in my life. 

    This class was not something I was initially interested in because it has minimal correlation to my future career but I am taking it because it is needed for one to open their scope on things and get out of my comfort zone. All high school I have been taking pre-law classes, AP's and AICE classes. However, my senior year classes are interesting. During course selection I asked for pre-law classes and college level classes but when I started they gave me elective classes I personally would never do such as this class and fashion. I was so set on switching them to what I initially wanted but then I realized that this shows how much I have stayed in my comfort zone classes instead of trying something new. So I stayed in both, so far I am liking my classes, in fashion I am improving my creativity side and in media studies I am improving my knowledge in behind the scenes in films (I love films!) and writing as well. Anyway, I've been talking too much. 

P.S. I attached some family and waterfall photos. 

Thanks for reading, 

Mariajose :)

Title Research: Dead Silence

  Hey everyone, welcome back.  The film that I chose to analyze is Dead Silence because it is a great representation of how a horror film should be.  The website I used wa s   Art of the Title What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?  The  titles  that are displayed  first  is the title of the film. It is in red  and has  a spooky looking font to add to the way that the movie is horror. The next titles  are from who made the film and a brief description of what to expect. Then it goes into naming everyone who helped contribute  to  making the film happen like the actors and what not.    What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? The images that are prioritized look like scenes from out the movie. They are images that give a feel f or what will happen in the movie without fully telling what exactly is going on. The movie is on a marrionette that is very haunting and the image of ...

Title Research: Murder by Death

  Hey everyone! How are you all? Today I will be talking about my title research with the movie murder by death.  -- What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?  The titles are the title of the movie and production and then it gives the name of all the actors. While it shows the cutouts of the actors it gives their names. The font is a roman, to give a old fashion vibe. Old west type of setting showing few shades of color. Also states anyone who contributed to the film.  -- What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?  The first important image in the corpse on the floor with knives stabbed in their back. Then it shows throughout the opening sequence the reaction of all the actors (cutouts). This is showing that the main lead or mystery is the death of the corpse which was murder. But by who? Some seem shocked and others seem calm.  -- How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from outside?  By the reactions of the actors, ...
