Planning Blog 3: Title design in details

Image
Hey guys, welcome back to my blog! Today I will be planning my title designs for my final task! Font:  The opening credits of my film will appear in a Chiller font. The chiller font has ink blots and stray strokes that add to the mysterious mood we hope to create in our movie's opening sequence. This font will fit perfectly in the background of our movie because it will be similar to the props, setting, and costumes. Chiller font :  Contrast: To contrast the dark colors in our background, we will be using the chiller font in the color white. The white color will help the title stick out but also mix well with the setting we decide to embed it in. We will also use the chiller font in the color black for scenes with bright lights or when it is bright outside. For example, if we want to embed "Directed By: Alyssa Pearlman" on the window of a car, we will use the white font to contrast the dark windows. If we want to embed "Written by: Carleigh Tripp" on the side of

 For our video, there are a lot of aspects that go into filming, especially now because there is a lot riding on it.  Location: For our video the specific of where we're going to be filming is already planned out. We are going to start in a park. There is a park called Gorge English right by my house so this location is perfect. We will be filming in the park for the first 2 scenes. For the next couple scenes we are going to be filming at my house. This is perfect because my house has a bathroom door with a lock that's really easy to pick. This will be perfect for the bathroom scene, where she gets taken. The last location will be at my grandma's house. Here we will film the bystander sitting on her lazy boy watching the news. This is when they will about the missing child. The bystander remembers seeing the house shown on the video and calls the police to give them a description of the mysterious man.  Participants:  Alyssa and I have always done a 2 person video but for t

Title Design Websites

  Hey guys, welcome to my blog! Today I will be researching different websites that will help me with title sequences. www.artofthetitle.com When I first enter the website "Art of the Title", the first thing that catches my eye is a drop down menu that says "Title Sequences".  When I click on it, examples of recent, recommended and classic movie title sequences pop up with a thumbnail. This will help me with my title sequence research because it will aid in choosing which movies are the best fit for me. Below these, there is also an option to "View all titles", which allows me to view a wider range of movies and their title sequences. If I want to only look through movies that are in my Thriller genre, I can use the search bar to search "Thriller Movies". This helps me pin point exactly which movie sequences will aid me in the process of making my own thriller movie sequence. Next to the movie titles there is also dates, which helps me identify m

Movie Conventions Research: Bullet Train

  Hey guys, welcome to my blog! Today I will be talking about the conventions I discovered in the movie "Bullet Train".  What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? Some elements of the Thriller genre that are shown in the movie Bullet Train include the parts of Mis-en-scene such as costumes. In Bullet Train, almost all of the men are wearing suits and many have hats on too, which is a common convention seen in other thrillers. The actors are also wearing mainly blue and white colors, which is seen in many thrillers as well. For acting, the antagonist is mysterious and has a lot of power, which we see when he shields his face with a mask and defeats everyone who comes in his way. For makeup, special effects makeup is used in fight scenes when the actors get stabbed by a knife or shot by a gun to create the illusion of blood. Many props such as handguns, knives, a briefcase, computers, and poison are also used which is very common

Movie Conventions Research: The Platform

   What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? Now this movie is very strange and is very suspenseful. The movie offers themes such as sacrifice, bravery, malnourishment, and physiological damage. This movie takes place in a vertical prison with no windows, no cells, a giant square hole down the middle and hundreds floors. The square hole allows for a floating piece of cement to pass through, this floating rock hold a buffet of all kinds of food. The people on the top floor get the luxury of having fresh, untouched food, while the people on the bottom floor are left with nothing but chewed up scarps, bones, and no water. Malnourishment is often seen in movies where the victim has been kidnap and is being help hostage. This would be a great element to add in our movie clip because starvation falls under the kidnapping theme. The sacrifice and bravery comes in when some prisoners put their life on the line by grabbing weapons and standing on
