Title Research: Art of The Title Website

 


I am looking at the Art of The Title site to learn more about what the title of a film means, and which titles are appropriate as well as how to use them. Some things I saw on this site were the trop rated title sequences were, and why they were rated this way. It shows the actual opening sequence along with the titles used. The website shows many different movie title sequences that go along with the title and genre. As I have observed, the title sequence should go along with what the movie is about, along with the genre of the movie. For example, with a horror movie, you would choose a dark title sequence with a creepy font. As the title sequence goes on, the background keeps moving, so the title has to compliment the background with everything else. Usually in a film, they take snapshots or beginning scenes to put titles ahead, to give a sneak peak of what the movie is.

Title Research: Watch the Titles Website

  This website shows only a movie's title sequence where you can watch and study. This website has different categories to choose from, featuring popular films people usually watch. Throughout looking through this website, I learned how important a title sequence is towards a movie. The title sequence sets the mood for what's about to happen, and make the audience interested. With a uninformative, boring title sequence, the audience can being to lose interest in the movie. What I also learned is that the titles need to flow smoothly with the transitions. Every title sequence I watched shows the titles moving throughout the different scenes, which gets the moving going. For example, if the title does not flow throughout the opening sequence, and just disappear and come back, it looks unprofessional and not smooth. This would also make it harder to further the scene.

Editing and Taking Breaks

Image
                        I have almost come to the end of the final task. So far, I have shot all of the scenes needed, and started editing some of the clips together. While reviewing the scenes, I noticed that the lighting was off in some parts. I had to have someone in my family help me record these scenes again. For example, The beginning scene was too dark because of how early it was, so we had to pretend it was early in the morning for the scene. I have a light dimmer, so I adjusted the lighting to create a brighter look. I also had to re-shoot the kitchen scenes because there was too much background noise that could not be canceled out. After re-shooting these, I imported them into my editing software. The first thing I did for editing is putting all of the videos in order. Then, I cut some of the video out of each one to create a smooth transition. Some of the editing was turned int...

Finished

         I managed to get the feedback from my other peers and received mostly good news. Everyone said that the film was well edited and was really nice. This was a long process, but I am glad that it is over with. All I have to do now is touch up some errors and turn it in. Throughout this long process I learned how to make a 2 minute opening sequence, embed music, edit and place titles. There were a lot of setbacks that came from making this film, but I managed to get through it. Some of the characters had to be changed because they did not come through in the process, as well as some scenes the characters were in. I was still flexible enough to keep the show going on, and finish the final product. It was hard to get some of the camera angles because of where the scenes took place. For example, the scenes where I was in the mirror took more skill since the camera man cannot be seen in the video. Another scene that was hard to do was the bathroom scene because...
