Planning Blog - Title

Image
  The opening credits of our film will be in a regular based font such as "the Georgia" font, at a bigger size. The titles will fade, and grow into our different scenes. For example, while we are in the car, in our first scene, the tiles will float and fade into the corners of the frame. This will only last for about 5 seconds, since it is small and short, I believe it will be enough time to read what is being shown. Also, our titles will be in a transitional color. To better explain, in the beginning the color will start off as black, and as the film intensifies it will transition from a light red into a dark red, meaning it reaches its final destination of the entire film. This will also add guidance of the progression of the show. The only font that I would want to have HUGE is our title of the movie, everything else I would like to keep in a regular size, so that it doesn't take away from the overall ambience of the clips that will be in the background.

  1. How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences of the film? Which ones? There were 45 titles in total. These were names of the production company, who directed the film, the actors, the editing crew, etc...  2. What connotations did the images carry? (How do they make you feel) The images are glitchy. Personally, I got uneasy. There was a lot going on it was pretty difficult to read. Especially with the music in the back, it was just a lot.  3. How is the genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you tell what genre the film is)  I wasn't able to tell what type of genre this movie was. Initially, I got something with technology because of the glitches, but it looked a lot like a Marvel film due to the music, colors, and speed. The music also builds up a lot of suspension and really keeps the viewer on their toes. The title tells me that it might be Crime related. In actuality, the film is a Horror/ Thriller.  4. What conventions ar

 1. How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which one? - During the title sequence of the film there are about 33 titles displayed within this part of the film. There were the name of the studio, name of production companies, the actors names, the film titles, who the music is by, who the film was edited by, the producer, and who it was directed by. 2. What connotations do the images carry? (How do they make you feel) - The overall vibe of the images gave the audience an eerie feeling. They were full of gore and of strong connection to what the film may be about. 3. How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you tell what genre the film is) - The genre I got from just looking at the title sequence is something crime/ thriller related. After looking at the actual genre, it was a thriller movie. It had a very eerie feel to it throughout the film, but it was not horror with blood and killing, but there were a lot of n
