Planning : Titles Design

This is our fourth planning blog. In this blog I will be discussing the titles designs and how they enter and where they are shown on screen. Some of the titles designs include the font we choose and the size.  We will be using a font we found online called Lobster . We will be using this font in a size thirty. This is a little bit of a smaller font so the thirty size is a good size.  The next planning blog will be our storyboard. This will be our final planning blog and then next we will begin the filming process. The filming process will take us about a week. After filming we will be able to edit and make these titles prominent.

Planning Blog : Safety , Location, Participates, & Schedule

This is another planning blog for our movie. This presentation includes our health and safety procedures that we will be following. I explained all the steps and precautions we will follow in order to ensure safety. This blog also includes our filming location. The location we are using is my house. I also included a schedule  in this presentation. This allows to have a time frame for our movie. We can track our progress and we make sure we are staying on track with following the given schedule. Lastly in this presentation I disclose the participants in our cast and crew.
 

Planning Blog : Sound and Dialogue Script.

Similar to the shooting script this is also a planning blog. This is our sound and dialogue script. Unlike the shooting script this in this we are including the speech. This script includes not only the dialogue but the sounds as well. This includes music and other sounds like ambient and digetic sounds. This fits the more standard way people think of a script. This presentation is shorter then the other one since we can fit multiple scenes in one slide. Here is our presentation.

Planning Blog : Shooting Script

 After a lot of research we are finally starting to actually being the process of creating the movie. In this blog we are planting our movie. This presentation is our shooting script. The shooting script is the script for our movie but without dialogue. That might seem weird since scripts are usually  dialogue. This is the actions, whats going on in each scene. It is basically the storyboard for our movie but in written form. The actual storyboard blog will be coming soon. There are ten different scenes in our film. There are eight titles as well. Those are mentioned as well in the presentation.

Title Research: Zombieland

The final movie I researched was Zombie Land. Along with the other three movies I researched Zombie Land was also from Art of the Title. There were 15 titles in this opening sequence. They start of the sequence by giving the three most important rules to follow when a zombie apocalypse is coming. There were in very big, bold letters on the screen I did not consider these to be titles since they were not credits. If in fact they are titles there would be 18 titles in that case. Zombies are the main characters in the movie. There were many people getting eaten and chased by the zombies. This adds a sense of not only horror but humor as well. It adds humor because the producers created the scene where people are dying to be comedic. For example, one of the people who got killed was killed by falling through the toilet then getting eaten. This is set out to be comedic. There is also a lot of action in the opening with all the people running everywhere. This also adds some mystery because we are unsure why the zombies have attacked or what has happen  to create the situation the main characters are in now. This questions will be answered later on in the movie. These questions are helping the audience stay engaged and focused on the movie. Technology was used to create the visuals of the zombies. The technology also helped film and edit the entire opening. There were a few slow motions in the opening as well as a few long shots

Title Research : Deadpool

The third movie title I researched was  Deadpool. Like 21 Jump Street and Back to the Future I watched it on Art of the Title.  There were 13 different titles. This titles were not like normal titles. They used comedy in the titling to add along to the comedic affect of the entire movie. For example of one of the titles said ," produced by a*shats," or "directed by jerks." This is a very unique way of doing titles but it catches the audience's attention. This goes along with the theme of the movie. The opening sequence shows a lot of dead people.  We see a man in a red super hero suit ( Deadpool) walking around the area of the accident. We can infer that Deadpool probably killed  them. I was able to infer this because there was a car that was exploding and on fire. Everyone around the car is dead besides Deadpool.  I can tell that this movie is has a lot of action. The dead people add a little mystery just because we don't know exactly why they are dead or how they died. We can just infer based off of the opening sequence. There are many questions that can be asked such as why is the car on fire or who is Deadpool and what is his background. These are the types of questions the audience members ask when they are watching the opening. It makes the audience curious and wanting to watch more. The technology has been used efficiently throughout the opening segments. The technology helped create the comedic and action elements of the opening that make us as the audience interested in the movie. The camera angles and movement  in this opening include a few high angles and a few low angles. There were multiple jump cuts as well as pan and tracking shots. The technology was used to create these effects in the movie. 

Title Research : 21 Jump Street

The second movie I researched was 21 jump street in and we watched this title on Art of the Title. The opening sequence has 21 different titles. I am not sure if this was planned out since the movie is called 21 jump street or it was a plain coincidence. The opening sequence is full of different images. The three main images shown are guns, drugs, and explosions. These images can give us an idea about what the movie is about.  I can tell the movie is very action packed and high energy. The images also have some comedic moments which relates to the the genre of the movie. The opening sequence also adds a little bit of mystery since us as the audience doesn't exactly know what is going on. We can just infer based off the images. As the watcher I am curious about the movie. I am curious to see how they incorporate the beginning images tie along to the entire film.  The action packed title defiantly makes the audience want more. Technology was incorporated into the film in many different ways. The filming and the editing all used technology. This technology is crucial to the movie and is especially important to creating a title sequence. Without the technology the title sequence would seize to exist. The movie title producers spent a long time working on this particular sequence. They did a very good job since the title alone left me wanting more. There were a few camera angles and movements. There were a few high and low angles, as well as mid shots and long shots. The camera was often at eye level to add depth to the images.
