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!

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...
