Practice Encoding and Embedding
This is our video to show that we learned how to encode a video and embed it. It is just a few clips from our actually film that is in progress, and is not meant to be taken seriously, except to show that we know how to do this. Thank you.

How Do Filmmakers Create Meaning for the Viewer?
1. Expectations for The Fault in Out Stars
After watching the trailer, and having not seen the movie previously, I would expect The Fault In Our Stars to be a new age, alternative romance movie that draws people to see it with the emotion that it produces on screen. I'd expect there to be a lot of cheesy lines in it because that is what I got out of the trailer, and that isn't for everyone, but it probably really appeals to their target demographic. I'd expect it to be a film that is heartbreaking, but also warms your heart. It seems very emotional and sappy. You don't fully know if a film is going to meet your expectations just by seeing the trailer, but you can look at reviews online and summaries as well, but the trailer is usually an accurate portrayal.
2. Movie Clip
3&4. What meaning are you getting from the clip? How is that meaning created?
I am kind of getting what I expected from the movie by looking at this clip. It looks very emotional, and packed with dialogue that people would never actually say in real life. In the clip the main girl talks about how she doesn't want to be with him because she doesn't want to hurt him because she could die at any moment. He then says very cheesily, that he will not stop trying to be with her. The meaning I'm getting from that he loves her unconditionally, and it is created through the words they say, and the emotion portrayed by both of the actors in the film.
