Title Research: Back to the Future

 The first movie opening sequence we watched was Back to the Future. We watched this tittle on Art of the Title. The opening sequence had 16 different titles.  There is some action with the character turning on machines. The audience is a little confused since they don't know exactly is going on. We see a lot of clocks and machinery. There was also lady on the news talking about stolen plutonium. Later we see the plutonium under neath the counter. The clocks add a sense of mystery and go along with the title "Back to the Future."The emphasis on the clocks can tell us that time plays an important role in the part in the movie. The machines and the clocks add to the action of the movie. How the camera focuses on the clocks makes the watcher interested. Also the stolen plutonium the audience has to infer what that is going to be used for and what the purpose is. The mystery aspect of the opening keeps watchers interested. The technology was used effectively was used in he editing and the filming. There were a few close ups, the entire opening was one long pan shot. There was a jup cut between the rooms with the clocks.

Watch the Tittles

This is another title website called Watch the Titles. This is very similar to the Art of the Title. Both of these websites work in the same way. They are a platform to view movie tittles to gain ideas for our own titles in the future. From these websites I am able to learn and gain knowledge about the art of titling. These websites are very important and helpful because many of the students have not ever worked with movie titles. I have been able to learn about a lot about creating a title and the background on them. This picture is the home page for when you log onto Watch the Title.

Art of the Tittle

We are researching tittles because in order to film and produce our movie to the highest quality. The tittles in a movie in chance the movie. A bad tittle can lead to a bad movie. The tittle sets the scene and creates the mood for the entire movie. A title is defined as written material to be read by viewers that is included in a film or television show, typically presenting credits, narration, and or dialogue. A tittle is related to the context of the movie.. There are multiple different jobs in Hollywood that are just for the sole purpose of creating movie tittles. Each tittle is unique which make the entire movie unique. Art of the tittle is a website that allows us to watch a bunch of different movie tittles from popular films. This allows us to gain ideas for our own production.

Genre Research : Ride Along 2

      The last movie I researched was Ride Along 2. This is also a comedy.  The conventions are very similar to the other three movies I discussed. Some of the things that are different include the editing techniques. Some of the camera angles and shots are also different. This movie has a lot of dialogue as well.

      There were a lot of camera movements ,angles, and shots. Some of this include high angle, low angle, gods eye view,  and over the shoulder shots, wide shot, action matches, slow motion and a few eye line matches.   Pan and tracking shots again were very popular and frequently used throughout the entire movie. Mid shots and long shots were used quite frequently as well. 

       There was a lo of digetic sound and non- digetic sound. Ambient sound was also used. Ambient sound was not used in the other three films so in that sense this movie is a little different. Jump cuts and zoom were also popular. There were also establishing shots. Ride Along 2 takes place in both Miami and Atlanta.

Genre Research : Isn't it Romantic

            The third movie I researched was Isn't it Romantic. Like the other two films I researched this is also a comedy. Once again I have to go over the conventions in this movie. All of the conventions are very similar since they are all comedy ,but there are a few differences for each specific movie. The editing techniques are all very similar. The camera angles are also very similar. Some of the camera movements are similar but there are a few differences.

             Like Long Shot this movie had a lot of dialogue similar to the other two movies.  The main character is always in the most dialogue. There was a lot of natural lighting as  well as artificial lighting. The lighting was mostly soft. Again the camera shots were very similar to the other films. There were establishing shots which was mostly in the beginning of the film.
           There were a ton of different angles. There were high angles, eye-level angles and low angles. There was also many different shots such as mid shot, long shot, shot reverse shot, over the shoulder shot, and wide shot. There were a few jump cuts. Similar to the other two movies pan and tracking shots were extremely popular.

Genre Research : Long shot

             The second movie I researched was Long Shot. Like Secret Life of Pets 2 this was also a comedy. The conventions in this movie is similar to the other film since they both fall into the comedy genre. Some of the camera shots and angles are the same as well as some of the editing and sound in the movie. The first 30 minutes of the movie was very good. It set the scene for the rest of the movie very well.  Similar to the last movie Long Shot also had a good amount of conventions. There is a lot of dialogue in this film. The movie is driven by dialogue.
             Since the movie is very driven by the dialogue there are very little scenes with no dialogue. There were a couple of voice overs in the film.  There was also a lot of diegetic sound but not as much non- diegetic sound. This movie had jump cuts and shot reverse shots. There was also tracking and pan shots. Like the first movie these two shots were the popular and were used the most in the movie. There were just a few overheard shots as well as some eye level shots. Low shots were also used and were also used frequently.   There was one flashback in the film. During the flashback scene there was a fade in.

Genre Research : Secret Life of Pets 2

         The first movie I researched in the comedy genre was Secret Life of Pets. Since our final genre is comedy I watched movies in the comedy genre. I will go over the conventions of the movies. This involves editing techniques. I would also like to include things you would normally find in a comedy, which is the conventions. This movie had a bunch of dialogue, but the dialogue was more between the animals of the movie then the humans. The humans play a very small role in the movie as all of the main characters are pets.
           In this movie there were many jump cuts as well as few eye line matches.  There was also some pan and some tracking shots. In the movie these two shots were probably used most frequently. Both pan and tracking were used throughout the entire movie they were seen the most in the beginning of the film. There was also a few cutaways.
           Throughout the movie there were a few voice overs. These voice overs mostly came fro the main character, Snowball. There was a lot of  non - dietetic sound throughout the film. There was not much dietetic sound though. Along the movie there was a lot of background music. This helped the movie flow better. There were many different camera shots as well. This includes low angles, high angles and a few establishing shots.
