Title research: Parasite

What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? A title arrangement (likewise called an initial grouping or introduction) is the strategy by which movies or TV programs present their title and key creation and cast individuals, using calculated visuals and sound. It regularly incorporates (or starts) the content of the initial credits, and sets up the setting and tone of the program. It might comprise of surprisingly realistic, liveliness, music, actual pictures, and additionally illustrations. In certain movies, the title arrangement is gone before a cold open. In this opening title scene, we get the title of the movie and the name of the directors and or editors that worked on this film. The main image we see in this opening scene is socks being dried after a wash with windows in the back that have the name of the movie on one of them. We can also see people walking and the street with many cars and bikes going around. What connotations do these images carry? You can't re...

Genre research: (Dunkirk)

Image
   Some elements of the drama genre that we used that relate to this movie are first how the movie keeps a quiet but very good acting job. This movie was very quiet and more watch the movie and see what happens. There was very little talking throughout the movie. That is what made the movie interesting although. Keeping that quiet basis made the climax of the movie very suspenseful. Let me tell you it did have me on my toes the whole time. I really like how they performed the not very much talking throughout the entire film. Although it was very sad to watch the movie had its moments of suspense. The film overall had great lighting and looks like it could've been shot in 1-2 days. If so that would be a very well-done filming process. It would be very hard for me to decide what was done wrong in this movie. This movie was a great movie and the art of it was perfect to me. But if I had to decide on one element I didn't agree with it would be how sad the movie was. I know they we...

Genre research: (Joker)

Image
  Some elements of the drama genre that we used that relate to this movie are how the movie keeps a sad but realistic vibe. Throughout the movie, it is shown how the joker lives. Let's just say he is not in the best situation. So, because they show how is situation is it causes the show to be somewhat depressing. I don't want the depressing vibe to take a toll on our film but I do want somewhat of a sad vibe. I like how they show why and how he went crazy. They did an excellent job of showing his at-home life. The filming process was great and it looked like it definitely took some time to film. I also really like how they get you to really feel bad for the villain. In every other movie like Batman, everyone hated joker and really despised him. But all of a sudden you feel horrible for him. They did a great job making people feel like that. All they had to do was show why he does the things he does. I mean it makes sense if you were in his situation it would be hard to cope wit...

Title Research: Watch the Titles Website

Image
  This website also shows how titles are important. More specifically this website talks about the sequence. The sequence is when the sequence of names pop up with the title. This is normally at the beginning of the movie but sometimes it is at the end. Normally if it is at the end of the movie it will just be the names of actors and filmers while the title is at the beginning. They always put these sequences with edits of the movie. They always have little snippets of the movie. It is a fun touch to add. This is something to consider while I'm working on my project. I will try and implement this.                               https://www.watchthetitles. com/titlesequence/the-final- destination/

Title Research: Art of the Title Website

Image
   Titles are a big factor in the film you are presenting. If you don't have a unique title why would someone want to watch the movie? It is the first thing someone sees so it is a smart idea to make a good title. That is what I learned from this website. It gave me some interesting facts about how titles impact the film in many ways. The first way is it can change someone's perspective on the movie. And also, if it is not interesting it can cause someone to walk away from the movie that you put out. Overall this website helped a lot in the realization of how important titles are now. Now I know to have a good title for my film. It will be an interesting one too. https://www.artofthetitle.com/ feature/final-destination-the- title-sequences/

Genre research Home alone

Image
 I chose home alone because it was a movie I had but was never able to finish. It wasn't for any reason I just never got to the end because of other reasons. But I knew it was a great movie so I decided to research it. It was a good movie and it was very funny and interesting in my opinion. There is a lot I like about it. This movie is similar to ours in some ways. It is very well made and I know if I was involved in movie making then I would not settle for anything less than great. It started off very well as well. Our movie is like that too. It also has a sudden change and a lot of worries. This is how our movie goes as well. I liked that it was unexpected. Obviously anyone that has watched or herd of home alone knows what happens and how it works. But as someone who hasn't seem the end it defiantly has some parts that catch the viewers off guard. I liked that all the actors were good and there was humor. It isn't easy to incorporate humor into a movie about a kid who tri...

Genre decision blog

 We have to come to a conclusion about what the films genre will be. We wanted to see what genres were out there and what they were. We had no idea about any of the other genres. We only knew about two because of our previous projects. So we had to do some research on the genres. We looked up a list of the genres but there wasn't too much there. So we had to do a little more and we found some stuff on Wikipedia. These descriptions we found were very helpful. There were so many genres so we took a long time to try and figure out which one was ours. We had a few in mind while we were searching for them. So we thought we knew what our genre was but we were incorrect. Our genre is drama or dramatic. We talked about why we thought this was our genre and agreed. Our film is very dramatic it is a sharp turn in circumstances. There is a lot to say on how our film is dramatic. It goes from being peaceful to very scary and dark in some instances. So there was a lot that went into deciding th...

Genre research action and adventure

 There are so many genres in the industry. Action and adventure are some of the biggest ones. Action is one of the most popular genres ever. So many movies have been filmed on the genre. So many superhero movies are action films and they bring in bank. Everyone loves action and it is a great genre. The filming parts must be so fun. There are so many special effects. I wonder what it must be like when you are filming a movie and you see the end product. It must feel so good because you worked so hard and you get a great movie. The action movies I watch are always so good and put together. They look so real and it amazes me every time. The adventure films are amazing as well. There is a great combination of action and adventure. This makes these films so good. Every time I see these films I wonder how they are done and I am always amazed by the work put in to them. Its great how the movies keep coming out. There seems like every idea has already came out but that's not true. They kee...

Genre research horror

 This is my genre PowerPoint. This was about horror films. There are a lot of amazing parts of horror films and I like them. Horror films have a lot of views and they get a lot of attention. They have many different camera angles and commonly used music. This is such an interesting thing in my opinion. I find it amazing how different but similar movies can be. Movies can be so similar when the genres are the same. Music is the same and a lot more things like storylines. Even though horror is not the genre that we are going to be using it is still very interesting. As you can see there is so much more to learn about the filming proses. I think it is great that we get to learn it and see it. This was a fun project. I learned a lot from it and it helped me understand movies more. At the end of the day everyone wants to learn. And there is so much to learn about. That's why I liked this project I didn't know much about media. After this project I know so much more about media and d...

pitch blog

Image
 There are so many things we thought of when coming up with ideas for a snippet. We had to think of good plots and ideas for a movie. We thought of two good movie pitches. The first one is a more of a dramatic movie. Star Highschool athlete who has a great life and promising future gets hurt and sees his athletic future go away. This is a dramatic film that can have a lot of parts to it and there is a lot to work with. This can be about an athlete who realizes all he has. This movie can show people how much they take for granted. This can have many curveballs and many different emotions. It sows that you cant rely on sports you have to have a backup plan. We thought of another pitch as well. A kid who is living a great life has been targeted for a kidnapping and no one had a clue. This can be a very suspenseful and un expected movie. There can be a lot of ups and downs to it and it will be out of the blue. The idea is to have the kid un expected and not have any idea about the whol...

Starting Final Task

Image
 Hello there is a new project and it is about a movie clip. There are so many things that we could do for this clip. So I decided it would be better to do this with some partners. There were many people that I could work with but I decided to work with Max S and Jacob B. I worked on a project previously with them and I liked the outcome. The previous project came out very well made and creative. They are both good guys and they know how to work hard. Jacob is a great editor and can help a lot on the tech side. Max is a great actor and can definitely be in a movie scene. There are so many possibilities with this project and I am happy to see what happens. WE know we have to think of some good ideas and some good movie plans. We have been thinking about it for a while now and we are trying to decide what we want to do with this project. This part is really showing how difficult it is to make a good successful movie. so we need to make sure there is no problems and it needs to be good...
