Planning Blog 3: Title design in details

-

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 my house, we will use the black font to contrast the white paint. Black and white colors help maintain the mysterious and suspenseful mood and do not interrupt the scene as a bright yellow would.

For example:


Size:

After the job is listed, the name of the person who holds that job will be 4 sizes larger than the job itself. This is so the person's name will stick out.

For example:


Working title:  The title of this film will likely be "The Run"

The title will be in black, bold chiller font. Something like this:

How will the titles enter and leave the screen?

The titles will enter the screen with a fade-in but will have zero movements. This is because we want the titles to appear smooth and work well with the action in the scene. Also, all of the titles other than the tile of the film will be embedded in the scenes. This means titles like "Directed by: Alyssa Pearlman" will appear mixed in car windows, the side of buildings, and in bushes as well. The titles will leave the screen with a fade out, not creating too much attention when it leaves, adding to the mysterious tone.


How long will each title be on the screen before it disappears?

The titles will appear on the screen for at least 2-3 seconds. We want to make sure the titles are long enough for the audience to recognize them, but not too long so that we can fit all of them.

The Vision Short Film

Throughout the Mystery short film, The Vision, there was a boy looking for his friend throughout a fever dream and never ended up finding out if his friend was ok or not. There was common sounds like creepy music playing in the background. The lighting throughout the short film was very dark and eerie. The boys bedroom as well as all the settings that were shown throughout the film were dark and made a viewer feel uncomfortable. A common editing tactic in the mystery genre is foreshadowing which means early in the film, a hint is given as to what is going to happen as the plot. Another common tactic is suspense. Suspense is built through ending scenes with cliffhangers, making a character complicated, intense point of view, and hints as to what is to come throughout the film.  I really enjoy the suspenseful part about mystery genre films. Throughout all mystery films, there is so much suspense built up because you truly want to know what happened and why it is happening. This quest...

Its Me Again

 Hey Cambridge it's me, Carleigh Tripp, again. I am still a student at Fort Lauderdale High School and I am Still 15, however I am turning 16 on December 21st. I joined AICE media studies because I've always found interest in filming and showing my creative side. So far I've had a wonderful time making videos, especially the latest project we completed. The last project was a commercial and the item we choose was the energy drink Celsius. My favorite part of that project was incorporating the angles and editing that we learned in class. I learned a lot on filming and editing, mainly using editing apps and how to create those cool effects through technology. As we progress through the course I would like to film people who aren't part of the class to get more people than me and my partner. I would also like to include my dog since he's energetic yet can take commands well, if I told him to sit and stay he would. His names Ripley, he's 8 years old and is a Parti P...
