Title Research: Art of the Title Website


 Today we start working on what kind of designs and techniques we would like to use to insert our title sequences into our film opening. Once we decided to do a drama film understanding the art of title sequences was the next important area of focus. This lead us to an agreement that we should know which ones would be best suitable for a drama film before it even comes close to the time to edit. So this began our search for the perfect title sequence styles. Seeing as it would be weird and unaesthetically pleasing to use horror themed art titles in a drama film; we are just researching what would be the best way to style and organize our opening titles. We decided to use a website called "Art of the Title'. This website, while browsing through it I managed to find some really pretty theme styles for drama films. This website provided many examples that would be appropriate. It showed us the different fonts and ways to input them into our film creatively and selectively. When I first began searching through this sight I saw the first title sequences to a film opening sequence called "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?". I am not sure what that is about but I do know that was the first thing to show up on the site. A little confused as to why that was first to pop up I simply disregarded it and continued to the search bar to type in Drama films. This search lead to the billions of sequence title styles that people could use such as my team and I specifically for drama films. I saw a few that caught my attention that I feel would best suit the pitch of our film. Now when I first saw the styles I thought that the names that showed the different font styles in the titles were the font type names however, these were the names of different kind of drama films that the site had to offer. When you clicked on one it showed you how the directors' choose to organize and style the titles in the movies. The style I could relate to the most for our film was from a film called "Herbst" the reason this one caught my attention was because the aesthetics were relatable. I could imagine scenes in our film being created while the titles ran through the scenes in a nice and elegant pastel pink coloring font style. I imagined a scene where two character could be running through a grassy field with the titles going across the grass behind them in a soft complementary color as it slowly drifts away. This website brought such a vivid imagery and visual to what our titles could truly become with the right tools and guidelines. These styles gave so much sensory detail with just the setup of the title sequences. You could tell anyone around you about how the scene could smell or how the air could feel to the tender touch of the two characters holding hands. The website showed such sensitized and beautifully detailed title sequences. No matter what film it was applied to seeing as they all are specialized films of drama. This website is perfect for brainstorming and getting some inspirational ideas on how to move forward for our title sequences.

Short Film Research: ( Migrants/ Drama)

       This short film was 8 minutes long and the plot was pretty easy to figure out basically there were polar bears being pushed out of their home lands due to global warming and exiled from brown bear territory being left to fend for themselves on the ocean. In the beginning of the short there was a climax point where the baby polar bear fell of the ice and into the water from the ice breaking and the mother jumps after the baby. This was a great way to start the film it immediately introduce the drama factor that a film should have lots of heart racing and anticipating moments. There was a conflict with the polar bears and the brown bears over food and the was another great way to help deliver a message. Although it is animated the film didn't use and real dialogue just animal noises such as grunts and snorts and well as instrumental music in the background.     It reminds me of how lonely many of us are. It can be interpreted as a political manifesto, ...
