Universal Pictures began from the bottom and made it to the top. Universal uses many ways to draw an impact on one when creating a movie. One way is they way they begin the intro into each of their films by using the orchestra and the majestic French horn to draw your attention give you the assumption that you will be watching a remarkable film.  Now they “Universal Studios” logo was not always the same as it is now, but the company evolved into making a logo that goes alongside with this present day time. The quality of the logo and the music in the backdrop gives you a representation of how far they’ve come. Universal pictures have impacted many lives using the best equipment to produce their film. Movies have a huge impact on people at with majority of them having a 70% or higher on the critique website “Rotten Tomatoes”. Universal Pictures has also added a new and exciting feature to their filmmaking by making a few of them in 3D. A three-dimensional (3D) stereoscopic film creates the illusion as though you’re really there in the movie. 3D is “a motion picture that enhances the illusion of depth perception, hence adding a third dimension”.

Universal Pictures knows when and when not to create a certain film or who to join a partnership with. For over 100 years, Universal Pictures has been capable of understanding the society as well as their own brand. Diversification is “the process of a company enlarging or varying its range of products or field of operation”. Convergence is “when two or more things come together to form a new whole”. Marketing is a major key being that, that’s what brings the majority of the company’s sales when they make a film. “In a competitive environment, characterized by a small number of strong, well-positioned firms, it is imperative for Universal to focus on the unique combination of resources and capabilities that can confer a sustainable competitive advantage”.  Just as they know when to or when not to create a film, Universal as a big corporation knows who to work with or without. Companies that they choose to work with, determines the future of them ever working together and building a partnership. Universal Pictures was bought on January 29, 2011,  by the company “Comcast”. Com-cast has made brought much success alongside with Universal along the way.

My first day of shooting was great. My group and i shot Thursday in Ms. Garcia’s office. Its was an interview about heroin use, staring Ms.Garcia. Everything was planned out good. Everyone was present, we brought all the equipment needed, we had our interview questions written out properly. The only thing we forgot to do was to give our interviewee the questions before hand so they would understand the questions and answer them more fluidly. but we didn’t do that so the interview took a little more time. Not a big deal though.

In the film  “Interview with a Serial Killer” I loved the setting.At first they talked about how good the town that they are staying in is, then flipped the script and talked about all the bad that happens there. I didn’t like how they used the same shot more then once though.

In the film “The Imposer”  I liked the sound it started off with soft music, which made you feel bad for the boys family members then the sound got a little scary  and mysterious, it made you wonder and want to know more about the character. I didn’t like how they didn’t explain the story more. I feel like they could’ve went more into detail.

In “The Fundamental of Caring” I liked the character. The character has a sad personality but going into a caring job, its kind of ironic.
