Title Research: Art of the Title Website


 We have come up with the
premise for our movie opening and our movie's pitch. One of the next necessary steps is to think of a title for the movie. The title is a very important and crucial part of any movie. Titles are more than just what the movie is called. All aspects of the title screen are important. The font, font size, background, and more can be manipulated to convey a movie's theme and nature. Since the title is so crucial, research of titles is necessary. One of the websites I used to research titles was called Art of the Title. I found the website because of a recommendation from my teacher.

The website is great for learning about movie titles because it included analysis of title sequences and cards from many successful movies. This gave our research variety and expert inquiry. The websites includes many different articles and lists that cater to anyone. Some of their webpages are lists about the best movie titles and some are descriptions of titles of big movie series. All of the content is easy to understand and very helpful. The most useful part of the website for our research was the descriptions of the best movie titles. They were the most helpful because they not only showed us examples, but they explained why the creators made them the way they did. The website helped us learn that the title should have the same mood as the movie's opening. For example, if the movie is about something grim, the titles should be dark and spooky. Or, if the movie is about something lighthearted like a comedy, the title should be quirky and bright. this is because the title is the first thing that the audience sees and it sets their mood before the movie even begins

How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? This commercial is targeted towards anyone with underlying medical conditions that could lead to constant uncontrollable headaches, specifically those who seek a solution to this condition. The commercial primarily advertises a product that is meant to fix these issues. The main goal of the commercial is to get the targeted audience to buy the product advertised by making a convincing plea that the product is worth buying. Migraines are an issue in many people's lives and this advertisement is an attempt at reaching this audience, and their wallets. It challenges the convention of the common issue of migranes by offering a solution. How does your product engage with audiences and how would it be distributed as a real media text? Audiences should be engaged through the relatability of the situation the characters in the commercial are in. The main character begins by having a headac...

Filming: Rehearsal Pt.1

Image
The date of filming is soon approaching. In preparation for the day we are going to film, our group of actors and filmers all got in a call and went over the scenes. In this call we discussed each scene and how it will be carried out when we go to film. We explained to our actors what they had to do during their screentime. SCENE 1- Picking up the phone and the phone call We will have the camera start facing down on the table, and it will stay there a little after for the title card to show in post. Then there will be a cut to the split screen phone call. The audio will be recorded externally while the two parts will be filmed with vertical-facing cell phones. This will allow for both shots to be put together for the split screen and audio doesn't have to be recorded on the phones while they are recording. These will be the only shots, as when the phones hang up it will transition to a new location. SCENE 2- Exiting the car and walking to the camp There will most likely just be a s...

Filming: Extra Preparation

Image
  One of the biggest dilemmas we have faced in this project has been finding a suitable location. I already explained how the search was too hard, so we had to change the setting of the movie. By far, getting over the hurdle of finding a location has been the hardest part. It has also taken up the most of our time. Comparatively, writing the script and drawing the storyboard were much easier. We will probably be making more changes to our script as we go on. Whether the changes are in response to a part of the setting we did not account for or something else, it is likely the script will be changed. Likewise, we may have to alter the story from the storyboard to adapt to changes in the original plan. Other than that, we are ready to move on from finding the location and making the script and storyboard. The next logical step for us would be to prepare every resource we need for filming. One thing EVERY film producer needs is a camera. Because of COVID-19 precautions, we ca...
