Title research: (Taking Chance)



    The film we are talking about today is a 2006 film based on a journalist true story. When viewing the opening of this film  the title sequences that were displayed included the Name of the Studio, Name of the Production Company ,Actor(s) names, Film Title , Casting  ,Music,  Editors ,Production designers ,  Directors of Photography, Producers, Storyline, Written/screenplay , and the Director. In this opening it was more of a journal entry kind of thing. The style and images that were focused on were the style and font type of writing that was used to put emphasis in the background. Michael Riley stated, "The credits are set in a basic sans-serif font which makes nice contrasts to the (post-processed) live action footage of writing. Black ink gets absorbed into the thirsty, white paper-a reference to the diaries kept by the main character".

     This movie is based off of a true story. So the meaning behind the authenticity enthused handwriting was to portray the image that even for basic compositional principles developed in these 2D designs ;they are created from their own individual shots leaving the visual to be astoundingly precise and soft to the touch from the viewers perspective. This film is based on a true journal writing. This film drawls in its audience and using the soft touch of the handwriting to appeal to the targeted audiences emotions. They succeed in trying to projecting them onto the screen to try to convey it as something the average person in life would go through in this situation.

     This film is about "on the personal account of a US Lieutenant who, at his own request, accompanied the remains of a young Marine who got killed in Iraq back home to his family in Wyoming."(watchthetitles). The design of the titles sequence is made to be a delicate writing. That means it is more difficult to understand when analyzing  from a imaginative or sensitive emotional style of writing. Although I only watched the intro understanding that there is a conflict with the main character is key. The main character, I assume was the male actor shown in the opening at the end. 

    The opening ends with a close up shot of him having a concerned and conflicted look on his face that could leave the audience thinking what could be the problem. It lets the audience know that this actor is most likely being presented with a problem. That is more than about logic it involves more emotion and understanding to the situation that should be provided later in the film with better explain actions and connections. It is safe to say that this is one of the best drama films I was able to find on the websites called watchthetitles.com.

Production blog: Multiple Exposure discovery

    So its been a while since the last update and things haven't gotten very far but there are some positives that have happened. We were able to pick a location that satisfied most of our needs with out the hassle of needing permission to film and be on park grounds. We thought to see if we could find more actors but it was harder than expected. Seeing as everyone would have to have their own transportation and our filming would have to fit into someone else schedule. This made it harder on us but we kept searching.       So we had someone but the plans ended up changing when that person was no longer available. We understood that sometimes circumstances change. So, now we are all just planning a day to set up and film. This consist of making sure we have the camera set and all phones charged. Also having battery packs for the camera ready.       We definitely can't forget mask for covid-19 protection. An lastly, its key to having a fir...

Commercial Blog: Nike Vs. Under Amour Grand Finale

 I thought I would be fine using the Nikkon D3200 camera as this laptop has an SD card slot but the problem I had was that my SD card didn't fit in the slot. During my editing is when I realize that I have another clothing brand appearing in the finished ad. So I took the opportunity the next day to tweak the film so that it finally shows the images of both brands in one to let others know that this is a collaborative promotion. The reason is that it allows a certain message to be shown in the ad. So from my imagination I was able to sum up a few last-minute moments and since one of the actors doesn't own anything from the Nike brand I made a little tweak to allow two different brands to co-exist in my ad.       The two brands I choose are Nike and Under Amour. I would leave it alone if I don't see the logo but I can recognize it on one of my actor's shirts while editing. I plan to dub or add music to the ad to make it fun while the ad continues. Each actor put ...

Romance is defined by intimate relationships. In some cases, there may be a twist but at the end the main point in films is about the pursuit of love. Romance is not only its own genre but can also be seen in other genres such as thriller, Comedy, Drama, etc. Common lighting usually seen in romance includes high key lighting in which makes the seen more cheerful due to the brightness and warm colored lighting to create an inviting and mellow mood. A close up shot is an example of camera angles that are seen in films.  It allows the audience to examine the characters face to see their feelings and emotions. Another common camera angle seen in romance films are over the shoulder shots. It captures the face expressions and body language. Common sounds heard in romance movies are usually diegetic and non diegetic. For example, a musical that has romance incorporated into it includes singing and it helps exaggerate the feelings the characters may have.  Sometimes there may be a sou...
