Planning Blog: Title Design

 Hey guys and welcome back to my blog! Today, I am going to discuss the designs of our titles for our final task. 


For the film , all the tiles are going to come onto the screen the same way. We are going to have them slowly appear on the screen and all of them will be in the middle. The titles will appear on the screen in a windshield wiper type effect. You will see part of the title fade onto the screen from one side until it's the full title showing. This helps creates the effect we want it to have on our audience. It helps creates that effect we ant because the fade onto the screen slowly will give the audience that anticipation that we want. We will put it all to the middle of the screen and we want it to be very minimalistic because we want the audience to have a focus on the opening sequence while the font of the titles adds to our genre while not overpowering. 


Next , let's talk about how long each title will be on screen. We want to have each title on the screen for about 3 seconds but we want to base it kind of off the importance of the title as well. In this film , we will have the title of our film and the director name be longer than all the others but the title will still be the longest by 2 seconds at least.



The font we chose for our titles My group and I chose this font because we think it just adds more to our horror genre. The dripping on the letters would represent blood. We would have it be bold in whatever color we choose to give that "on edge" vibe to add onto the scary element of having the blood dripping. To enhance the blood aspect, we chose. We think the red enhances the blood giving more of a spooky aspect and creates a sense of fear for the audience which is what we want. We also felt this color would stand out in comparison to others.


The sizing of the titles would of course be different for different aspects and things that are more important. For example, the title of the movie would for sure be such a large text in comparison to the other titles. We also will make sure the title would be smaller than the name. So for example, if we are looking at "Directed By: Marvin Exantus", the "Directed By" would be kind of smaller than the name.  The size of the title would be AROUND THIS SIZE  while the name is AROUND THIS SIZE. Everything will be coordinated with one another using all the same when it comes to color size and font.



We think the choices we made will come off very well. We think it will work with typical horror genre conventions and we think the dripping blood will set us apart and be very unique. All will work together and come together to be great.

The Critics Are In !

 Hey guys and welcome to my final production blog of AICE Media! It has been a long journey from going to AS level to A Level and you guys have followed me the entire time. This short film has probably been the hardest project due to all the moving parts of it. By moving parts, I mean so many aspects such as the website, the postcard, AND the movie. But, now that we reshot more film for our movie , we were finally within the time frame. Now that we were in the time frame, it was time to hear from the critics. So, in our group we each got 3 different people to view our film and to give us feedback. I was able to get 3 of my friends to view the film. First I sent it to my friend Isa, who is also in media. The feedback that I got from her was that she didn't like the "scary" music in the beginning but she understood the concept. To give more clarity, the music in the beginning  was meant to give off comedy from the quick transition of scary music to upbeat music. This was a ...

WELCOME BACK TO MY BLOG!

Hello everyone, it’s Marvin and I know it’s been a while but WELCOME BACK TO MY BLOG! Last time you saw me I was a newbie to the media world but so much has changed. Now I’m in A level media and I completed my AICE diploma. But, even though I completed my diploma I still decided to continue taking some AICE classes because I just fell in love with them , for example media. I’m now a junior and next year I’m going to be a senior and I have to start applying for college. It’s pretty scare how fast life is moving because when people told me high school went fast, I didn’t believe it. It felt like I was just a freshman yesterday sitting in AICE General Paper and marine science and global perspectives. Now , I’m in two a level courses and taking AP classes on top of that. But since I’ve finished AICE, I would say my hardest class I took would be AICE European History. I really thought I wouldn’t pass the exam but when I got my score back I almost burst into tears because that was the last r...

Production Blog

 Production Blog Welcome back everyone! We finally finished filming our commercial. Our group worked so well together when filming the commercial and we all contributed towards the direction the commercial took. When we were filming, we kept thinking very hard about the shots and my group and I were very mindful to use different types of shots when we were filming so we can have a variety. When filming some of our shots on this day, there were some problems where some of the specific scenes did not look natural. One example of this was our 3rd scene. In this scene, one of our subjects was fake sleeping and it did not look as real as possible and in order to fix this problem, my group and I did multiple shots of the scenes and chose the best ones. For our second scene, we had arranged the set properly. We had people sit in certain places,  stand in certain places , and look in a specific direction when talking. For all our scenes, we had our subjects have some input as to how w...
