Keller Williams St. George Realty Personas and Artifact

Our group objective is to make this company more attractive to potential customers by reflecting its high-end clientele.

1) Childless couple with successful careers
Mary and Kent are a lawyer-dentist couple in their 30s. They would like to start a family in the near future, and their small, drab apartment just won't do. As a result, they are on the hunt for a comfortable yet luxurious family home.

2) Rich, retired couple with way too much money
Richard and Bonnie have been happily for over 30 years. Richard works as a respectable neurosurgeon in St. George, which created a financially stable life for him and his family. Although this couple is old enough to live in Sun River, they hate those poorly made commercials, so they would like to live somewhere else if possible.

3) Contractors
Patrick makes his living when he buys properties to build townhouses and apartment complexes that will be available on the housing market. He is in his late 40s with a wife and daughter to support.

Artifact: My responsibility for this project lies in the design of the for sale sign holder. The Keller Williams St. George could use some new sign holders and more modern ones as well.

Mis-en-Scene

My group choose the hallway scene in the movie inception. This movie was very detailed and the type of movie where you need to focus and watch it a couple times to get all of it. I was responsible for reporting on the production designer. In this movie it was Guy Hendrix Dyas. He has been around for quite sometime because he started really early after he graduated from the Royal College of Art in London. Some films that he worked on prior to Inception is X-men 2, Planet of the Apes, and The Matrix Reloaded. When doing the hallways scene much took place and everything needed to be absolutely correct. The hallways was 100ft rotating corridor. Seven steel IB beams were set and 16ft apart. It was all computerized which controlled the speed as well and direction is rotated. What was interesting is this scene had so much detail, in fact it took them 3 weeks to film it but in the movie it was only a 30 second part in the actual movie.
