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. What images are prioritized in the opening sequences?

In this film, the opening sequence the images prioritized seem normal. When watching a movie, you tend to watch the trailer first and knowing this movie is a horror, but in the opening sequence theres pictures of baking, taking pictures, the woods, and of people shaving. 

3. What connotations do these images carry?

I think that the images within itself connotate an even more spooky vibe. Knowing this movie is a horror, you expect to see gore immediately but the fact that these images carry a normal connotation but gives off a scary vibe. 

4. How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?

The opening sequence establishes the feeling of the genre horror because it creates tension and unease through how normal the images are. Knowing this movie is a horror, it becomes more scary because it gives a fear of the unknown as what you expect is not being show . From the opening sequence it seems happy. But, that fear it invokes of being questionable builds the horror genre's overall sense.

5. What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?

I think this movie is meant to appeal to that horror lover audience. But this movie does it in a special way by using a reverse scare tactic. People expect that gore and fright immediately but here things seem too normal. I think this is intentional as it gives the audience something new and breaks the conventions of horror.

6. How has technology been used effectively? You want to consider camera angles, transitions, and editing techniques.

Theres many shots depicted in the opening sequence like a wide show of the woods and the road, a close up of the man shaving, and a close up of the man's camera where you kind of get a little fear as its a spider. The editing which were constant cuts like the shots were pretty simple but I think because of how simple it is it impacts you to wonder what will happen next as this is supposed to be horror genre. 


Thanks for reading my blog , be back to see the next horror movie I pick and research their title use in their opening sequence!

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...
