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.

Title Research: Get Out

Hey guys , welcome back to my blog! Today, I will be researching the different titles of movies and the titles I will be looking at today come from the movie "Get which I got from the "Art of the Title" website you read about earlier. I will not answer the questions about the opening sequence below.  1. What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? During the opening sequence of the "Get Out" movie many titles are displayed. Specifically the title of the production companies, the title of the movie, the actors and actresses, the name of the casting head, the head of the music for the film, the maker of the music, the costume designer, the editor for the film, the production designer, the photography director, the producers, the executive producers, and finally the director who is also the writer.  2.

Production Blog: Editing Blog

 Hey guys and welcome back to my blog. In my last blog you heard how we finally filmed! Not everything went as we planned but we had to make do. Today I am going to be telling you about the editing process of our film. I actually edited the film on my phone for the most part. The editing process took a very long time, longer than I expected. If I had to give a number, I would say this process took a total of 2-3 hours. But, we knew we had to make up for our filming aspect so I did what I had to do. We edited our short film on this app called CapCut. CapCut is a very popular editing app which I have used in the past. What I mean by this is I love how you don't have to be the most experienced at editing and your edits can still come out great. When editing, the first thing I did was gather the clips. Once I did this, I started to think about all the titles needed. When editing this, I took inspiration from a previous movie I researched. What I did intentionally, I made sure the effec...

Genre Research: Comedy

 Hey guys and welcome back to my blog. Today, I'll continue covering and researching genres with today's genre being comedy.  There are usually very common angles that go across all realms of comedy film. One is the close up, which a lot of directors use to comedic effect. Another is the establishing shot, which is often used to r begin segments. The establishing shots used are also to bring the actors to a new scene with a comedic interaction. Another common one is the POV shot, which is often used during or after the comedic event.  Next, the lights. It depends, but often times are scenes usually light and vibrant to emphasize the comedy, unless otherwise obvious. Acting is vey vibrant, and over the top because a lot of the comedic effect is combined with the actors and the camera to really bring it all to life. Movement is where comedy movies can really shine. For example, if a pole hits a camera and makes it shake to imitate the movement. Props are also really importa...
