HELLO, WHAT’S UPPPP!!!! Today we will be sketching some title designs for our opening sequence. Since our movie is in the horror genre, I wanted to stay true to the conventions of giving it an authentic feel. Based on our pitch, we decided that our title is going to be called “Murder Mystery”. With our main title (working title) , I want the majority of the fonts seen to be red. I also want to add a drippy effect to the letters, resembling blood in a way for that scary aspect.   MURDER MYSTERY! For the color, as I said I want the font to be about dark reddish color for our main title. For certain credits, like the directed by, etc. the color will be dark and bold for example   AGM PRODUCTIONS.  I also wanted to be creative and make some of the titles different sizes within one word, such as  HoRrOR or hOrRoR.  It all depends on the color of our background.  The size of the font is important so that the audience is able to read the credits clearly. Through our opening scene we want to b

Welcome back to my blog!  Today I'm going to go even further into the planning of how my group's opening scene came to be. Although planning this was so fun, there was also a lot of layers to it. I'll start by talking about our location. When first discussing about our location, we knew that it would have to be somewhere of a location region as well as a mall where people visit frequently. After conversing about it  we decided on Sawgrass Mall. We were satisfied with that at first the realized that we had an issue.  What we wanted to do would require us to be in a smaller and more confined room. After realizing that, we decided to back on the scratch board and make some compromises. With only a few minutes of deliberating, we decided to use a groupmates' house. With our location confirmed everything seems set.  So far we have all of our scenes set, assigned roles, and our location. Some of the things we're still looking into are the props we will need. With this bei

HEYYYY IM BACKKKK!!!!!  When picking the genre, it was a must to do horror. After talking with the group horror would be the best bec ause it can go in so many directions. When you watch movies, some horror movies can have a touch of romance or comedy, so it just doesn't limit you to the scary aspect. When brainstorming it was between friends killing another or a random murder and honestly script wise would be better for the friend killing another. So essentially what the script is that friends are hanging out when suddenly it goes crazy. Then suddenly on e of the friends ended up d e ad wit h a group of friends pointing fingers at who could have done it. Now these won't just be causal friends but extremely close friends which makes the murder even more shocking and with all the tension it makes it harder to find the murderer.   Killer: Giovannia   Friend 1- Maria   Friend 2: Adriana   Person who dies- Abimbo l a  

 Welcome backkkkkk!!!!! Today we are researching opening sequences to movies. As you know our genre is horror….so let’s get into it!!! The movie I’ll be looking at is “Terrified”. A film made in 1963 by Paul Julian, it is known as one of the most ambiguous and haunting title sequences of his time. By being apart of the golden age of American film productions. Let’s dig deeper into its conventions. 1. What titles are displayed during the opening sequence? During the opening sequence, the names of the actors were displayed as well as the different characters and directors/ producers were recognized. After the moments of terror, it framed the main title card and subsequent credits. The way the letters were added to the genre. It looked kind of broken like similar to structure of bones.  2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?  In the opening sequence, there were a lot of spooky things. We see a man drowning in an open grave. They displayed pictures of tombstones and a mask

 Welcomeeee back!!!! -- What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?  The titles are the title of the movie and production and then it gives the name of all the actors. While it shows the cutouts of the actors it gives their names. The font is a roman, to give a old fashion vibe. Old west type of setting showing few shades of color. Also states anyone who contributed to the film.  -- What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?  The first important image in the corpse on the floor with knives stabbed in their back. Then it shows throughout the opening sequence the reaction of all the actors (cutouts). This is showing that the main lead or mystery is the death of the corpse which was murder. But by who? Some seem shocked and others seem calm.  -- How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from outside?  By the reactions of the actors, it gives a scary/spooky mystery feeling. Who killed the person? Why did they kill them? Am I next? These are questions asked in

Hey guys, welcome back because its been a few weeks since the last blog. The film that I chose to analyze is Dead Silence because it is a great representation of how a horror film should be.  The website I used wa s  https://www.artofthetitle.com What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? The titles that are displayed first is the title of the film. It is in red and has a spooky looking font to add to the way that the movie is horror. The next titles are from who made the film and a brief description of what to expect. Then it goes into naming everyone who helped contribute to making the film happen like the actors and what not.   What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? The images that are prioritized look like scenes from out the movie. They are images that give a feel f or what will happen in the movie without fully telling what exactly is going on. The movie is on a marrionette that is very haunting and the image of him in the opening sequence

Welcome back to my blog!!!  It's been some time. Today I want to gush to you all about this new website I found. As I was conducting research for my short film, I stumbled upon Art of the Title. When I first clicked on the website, I am met with a colorful graphic of a woman's face. This is the graphic introducing the director and screenwriter Chloe Okuno's favorite title sequences.  As I scroll through the website it features several opening titles and articles. I chose this website because it is easy to navigate. On the right hand side of the site, it offers options to look through several opening sequences. For an even wider selection, it allows you to look through an endless amount of your favorite designers and studios. If you still can not find your selection you are welcomed to search for it in the search box of the website.  The videos on the website are of high quality and offer captions to better enjoy the clip. The website also goes into further detail of the mov
