Well hello there! We are now going to explain the layout and formatting of the title design for our opening sequence. As of right now, all of the design ideas we have outlined below will likely be those that we will be using going forwards; however, there is still the possibility that we may decide to make changes as our production process continues and we reach the editing stage of our project. After scouring the internet, we found and settled on using the "Sometimes" font, being that it was not as gaudy as some of the others that we encountered online and, as such, would not detract attention away from the film itself, but it would still be able to properly credit each participant. Additionally, said font's use of sharp edges allows it to create a tense feeling that feeds into the thriller aspect of our film.      When it comes to ensuring that each of our titles are readable, we will likely not embed all of them into our scenes and run the risk of them blendi...

     Hello, I'm glad to see that you've returned for our official planning blog, regarding the way in which we will keep things running smoothly, no matter what challenges we may face. Below you'll find that I've divided our plan up into five different sections so that everything is easier to understand and visualize.  Participants:     In order to ensure that the participants and each of their roles for this particular project are clear, I've broken down each of their "positions" below: *Actors- Anthony as "Ronnie" Tanya as "Mom" Filming- Jordyn Minnis Nicole Kimmick Julissa Espinal Yaneli Zelaya Editing- Jordyn Minnis Directing- Jordyn Minnis * Regarding our official actors, our finalizations will be made within the coming week; however, we are currently putting in one of our groupmates' friends as he was interested in the role. When it comes to the role of Mom, one of our teammate's parents has also agreed to play that role. ...

Welcome back! In today's blog, we've outlined the script for our film opening below to ensure that we have a clear idea of sound cues, the places where we would like to insert editing, the dialogue, and the shots used within our film so that we are able to film more efficiently and not have to worry about coming up with ideas on the spot. With that being said, I hope that our script gives you a detailed and entertaining insight into our upcoming opening. Enjoy!  Script: 1  EXT. HOUSE - DAY An establishing wide shot is used to show that the RONNIE's house has dead and sickly-looking grass in its yard, and the weather outside seems to be overcast and gloomy. A dissolve is used to cut to the next scene. 2  INT. KITCHEN - DAY A long, full-body shot is used to show as RONNIE walks over to and sits down at the dining table. CANNED FRUITS are scattered about the room. A cut then occurs to a medium close-up shot of the dining table upon which a BOWL OF MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS sits to...

I'll be examining the opening title sequences to further gather research and understanding of the movie opening. What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?     As the movie begins, the title sequence is simple. It starts by introducing the production companies (twentieth-century fox and light storm entertainment) as they are in one font with a black background fading in and out to the next company changing colors until the titles end with the name of the movie "Strange Days." What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?     We first see a date maybe having to do with what's happening in the later scenes involving the burglary. Then we see an eye as someone in the background says "You ready?"  as the person with the eye says "Yeah, boot it" as they are then glitched into the memory of that person emphasized with a point of view shot. Then we see the burglary, as it ends with us (the burglar) dying after being chased by the...

  Good day! Welcome to our third blog on opening sequence analysis where we'll now be looking at the 2019 hit film, "Glass," which we uncovered on the "Art of the Title" website. We will be answering the same questions as before, which I've outlined below: What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?     During the opening sequence, multiple different titles, such as the name of the film studio, its production company, its director, its title, the names of its actors, its music composer and supervisor, its editors, its screenwriters, its photography director, its executive, and non-executive, producers, as well as its costume and production designers, are presented. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?     This film's title sequence begins by featuring the primary subject of the film in a very dark and dingy setting where he taunts his four victims. In the subsequent scene, the audience is placed outside of a laund...
