I want my titles to represent my movie's genre. I also want my titles to stand out against my many backgrounds, so I made it a big and creepy font. My titles will appear on my screen for around 2-3 seconds, long enough for the audience to read, but short enough to guarantee that this won't distra...

Location, Participants, Health, and Schedule

Image
Schedule: Today's date is February 25, 2021. My Opening Sequence is due April of 2021. I intend to space out my film schedule just enough for me to have time to incorporate every detail I plan to, but still finish my film in a safe amount of time. 02/26/21- I will edit my titles and pick the fonts, animation, and color scheme I want to use. 03/02-05/21- I will check to make sure I have all of the necessary props for this film. I will also be taking a trip to my local beauty store to get makeup for face painting materials. I will do a check to make sure props are in place and accessible when needed. 03/21-23/21- Since this is a weekend, I will use this time to film my movie. This will have to be done later in the night, since this is when my film takes place. I will film in each different location to ensure that no more filming will need to be done. 03/23-25/21- Editing will follow directly after I film my movie. Normally, this will only take a day, but since I have school that week...

Title Research: Jaws

Image
  From Art of the Title Website - What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?
  The titles are displayed over a regular movie screen. This is one of the movies that I have seen where the titles role over the actual beginning 2 minutes of the movie. I found this super cool since it is exactly what I am doing. - What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?
  The images prioritized in the sequence were actual shots of the movie. There was close ups of the characters, and shots and reverse shots between those who were in conversation. - What connotations do these images carry?
  These images actually don't carry a scary connotation, but the music does. The first scene shows a long shot and a point of view shot of someone swimming underwater. The music is the suspenseful jaws music that gets the audience creeped out. - How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset? The outset lets the audience know what kind of show you are getting...

Title Research: Halloween

Image
From Art of the Title Website - What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?
  The titles displayed here are the cast and credit names, such as "Directed by:". - What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?
  The images that are prioritized here are actually semi- still pictures instead of animated ones. They include pictures of a crushed pumpkin that slowly starts to rise with each title until the pumpkin is alive and lit up through the eyes and mouth. The sequence slowly dims and zooms into the pumpkin until the screen is black and only the pumpkin eyes light the screen. - What connotations do these images carry?
  These images carry a scary connotation as well as set a theme for the entire movie. The movie's name is Halloween, so naturally, seeing a scary pumpkin come to life ensures the audience that this movie is exactly what it promises to be. - How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?
  Like I mentioned before, the...

Title Research: Goosebumps 2

Image
From Art of the Title Website - What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?
  This film displays the names of those who wrote and animated the movie first, unlike Silent Hill. This is because of the fact that this movie was entirely animated, so the designers got more credit than the voice actors. - What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?
  In this sequence, there are no images. Instead, the title sequence and credits are placed over an animated background of all the different characters from this movie. - What connotations do these images carry?
  These images carry a spooky and horror theme. Although this movie is targeted for a kids audience (I still cant watch it, I get freaked out), it falls under the horror category. This is a halloween based movies with characters such as zombies, walking dolls, mummies, and more. - How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?
  You can automatically know from this outset that th...

Title Research: Silent Hill

Image
I got this movie from Watch the Titles Website. - What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?
  The titles that are displayed are the cast titles. Most of them include the name of the actor who plays that role, and in between, they will list other names that went into to the production. - What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?
  Images of each actor. I have a feeling that the faces of these actors are ones to remember throughout the film, so the designers may want the audience to have a first look. - What connotations do these images carry?
  These images carry a scary connotation. They are black and white images with 'something' splattered upon them. This is most likely to scare the audience and set the theme of the movie down. - How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?
  Looking at the title sequence, the designers make it very clear that this movie is a horror movie. From the gloomy filter, to the transitions be...
