Title Research: Split

 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 "Split" 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 the production companies are titled, then the actors and actresses, then the casting company, then the music supervisor, then the maker of the music, then the costume designer, then the editor, then the production designer, then the director of photography, then the executive producers, then the producer, then finally the director who also wrote it. 

2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequences?

In the opening sequence, images aren't used but rather its a video that gives you a snippet and continuation of the video after every couple titles. In the video we can see a girl has been kidnapped and she is being wheeled in some type of warehouse down some hallway , then she is laid down on a bed, and it ends with her waking up.

3. What connotations do these images carry?

The connotation these images carry is definitely scary. We can see the guy walk up to her in one of the continuations of the video and he gives off a scary vibe as well as it looks like he's going to hurt her and the girl looks out of her misery

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

The film establishes the feeling of that horror genre because it uses those conventions. In the opening sequence the scene theres dark lighting showing that horror genre convention. Also suspenseful "duh duh.... duh" music is on top of it. The titles look so simple which i think is on purpose because they want you to focus on that opening video. 

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

I think the strategies used to ensure the film appeal to its target audience which is horror lovers is definitely not playing the titles while the video is happening but actually "split" to the video every couple titles which is for sure purposeful as the movie is called "split". It just also has that scary horror atmosphere to it keeping viewers on their toes. 

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

Technology has been used effectively within the shots theres tracking shots the girl being wheeled through the building. Theres low angles shot of the girl being put into the bed where she looks out of it and drugged and the antagonist is high up giving that power struggle of the villan. Also like I said previously in the editing, it splits from titles to the video which is smart considering the title of the film. Also the titles are very minimal which I think they wanted in the editing process to have the focus on that creepy opening video. 

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

  Scene One- The first scene will start with Mya opening up the door to the courtroom. She will introduce herself, welcome the viewer to the courtroom, and then go look for the rest of the members. The camera will pan around the room to give a full view of the scene. Finally the camera will turn to Charlie and Kai.  Scene Two- The second scene will start with Charlie introducing himself. He would state his name and then, similar to a lawyer examining a witness, will ask Kai to introduce herself. After Kai says her name the camera will pan back to Mya who will go looking for the other members.  Scene Three- The third scene will jump cut to Joey asleep on a patio bench. Mya will walk into frame and wake him up. Once awake he will introduce himself to the camera.  Scene Four- The fourth scene will start with Kyra and I on a different bench. We will be in the middle of a conversation when Mya walks up to us and has us introduce ourselves. After we both introduce ourselve...

CCR BLOG   1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent   social groups or issues?   Our commercial product both uses and challenges commercial conventions. In normal school PSA's, they will usually have some type of message at the end. Within our commercial, we made sure to end our commercial with the message we wanted to get across which was to promote our mock trial team and we ended it with the introduction of all together as one. In one way it challenges conventions because usually school PSA's use normal clothing such as t-shirts, hoodies, pants, etc. Our commercial we took that typical clothing up a notch, and we wore our court attire because it matched more the school PSA we wanted to get across. I think our commercial represents social groups because it shows a group of people who are apart of a team and the group is diverse as well and shows representation. 2. How does your product engage with audiences AND how would it be...

Hello, I am Marvin and I am the son of a full Haitian dad and a full African-American mother. I am the oldest child out of all my siblings. On my mom's side I have a little sister named Malaysia and I have a 3 month old brother on my dad's side named Mayson. In the future, I hope to be a lawyer and maybe even go into politics.  I am not sure what type of lawyer I want to be yet due to the vast variety of types of lawyers there are or what law school I would want to go to. For undergraduate if I stay in state I for sure want to go to the University of Florida. If I'm being optomisitc, I would love to be able to go to an Ivy League school for undergraduate school but using my bright futures might be the best option. Right now, I am currently the Class of 2025 President and I am also apart of the Mock Trial Team. My favorite part of being on the mock trial team is the people for sure, they always have the best jokes and are very supportive of anything anyone does. I like being...
