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.

Research: How to Make a Short Film

     This educational video gave me a better understanding of how to make our own movies. While viewing, I discovered that there were some topics I already understood, such as when they were discussing film making. However, the "How to Make a Short Film" video provided me with a wealth of new information that will aid me in the production of our short film. This video includes production and post-production advice from a film specialist. One point that stood out to me was when the expert said not to do it if you can't pull it off. Another suggestion is to play with the audience's emotions and minds. The expert emphasizes that it is either all or nothing, and that nothing should be done halfheartedly. This reminds me of the phrase "Go large or go home," which means "Go big or go home."      The film expert explanation reminded me of this statement because it indicates it's all or nothing. Adding needless elements to a scene because they appear t...

Filming: Actors #1 & 2

 So during the whole filming process after we decided who would be doing what, it was decided that Nishayla  and I would be the main characters to deliver the effects of the message implied I filmed a part of the scenes which is when the other two group members Rohanna and Idline played the part of the bully for Nishayla Actor #1. During that scene I wasn’t in the film because I had to film that specific scene while we put to get her the set and scene.  My job was to make sure that Nishayla was set in place while Idline and Rohanna waiting for my call to start the scene. I gave ideas on how to show that bullying was taking place and it ended with the idea that the bag was to be gone through as as an invasion of privacy and tossed everywhere were the contents in the bag while leaving actor #1 to pick up her belongings or what remains of them on her own while she sits there sad and lonely. This gives off her signs of having depression and suicidal thoughts. The camera used ...
