Title Research: Thriller

Hello, today I will be talking about the design and title aspect of the movie: “glass”. I got this information from the website: artofthetitle. 

-How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film: There are 22 titles displayed during the opening sequence to the film including the music director, producer, and editor.

-What images are prioritized in the opening sequence: The images prioritized in the opening sequence showed a scene of 2 teenagers committing wrongful acts against a man until they were caught by an older man. These images set the scene to introduce one of the main characters: the older man, and reveal his role in the film.

-What connotations do the images carry: The images connotate shock, anger, fear, and suspense. Once the teenagers are caught by older they run and don’t expect to be found, yet the audience knows that the older man has some sort of power. This makes the audience want to continue the movie in order to learn more. 

-How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset: As noted in my genre research, thrillers frequently use tracking/dolly shots to exaggerate and create suspense throughout films. Genre is reinforced through the frequent tracking shots in the opening scene. It is used to follow the characters and lead the audience to whatever  occurs next.  

-How does the film establish an enigma from the outset: The film establishes an enigma through the anticipating music and jump cuts within the opening sequence. 

-What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience: I believe that pathos is used again to appeal to the audience of young adults. Seeing peers around their age throwing around ill-treatment and getting punished for it persuaded them to learn more about the punisher or savior.

Hello, today I will be talking about the design and title aspect of the movie, The conjuring. I got this title from the website artofthetitle. - How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? There are 10 titles displayed including the director,producer, editor,and costume designer. - What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? I think images that were more mysterious, suspenseful and gave a little background about the film was prioritized because the designer might have wanted to convey a certain feeling to the audience. This could have encouraged them to keep watching.(ex. audience shiver and wants to see more). - What connotations do the images carry? The images connotate how popular and controversial this supernatural force is. (ex.the newspaper highlighting spirits tormenting homes and ghost hunters) - How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? The thriller genre revolves around creating/building anticipation throughout the film. The purpose is to keep the audience on high alert and create a sense of uncertainty to put the audiences on the edge of their seats. The genre is reinforced in the opening sequence by including different spooky newspapers about families who had these supernatural forces in their house. They also followed conventions by including abandoned buildings and scary dolls in the outset. - How does the film establish an enigma from the outset? The film establishes an egima through the use of anticipating music. - What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience? I think the different newspaper headlines really did the trick. The realness of the movie deters parents from letting their kids watch. This is more likely to appeal to its intended audience, young adults. - How has technology been used effective? You want to consider camera angles, transitioning, and editing techniques. To get a true analog approach, directer Aaron Becker, bought an old picture projector.  To make the title feel a little bit more older he used a Canon 3D to shoot and experiment with footage.

Title Research: Watch the Titles Website

 Welcome back to my AICE Media Studies Blog. One of the two websites that I looked at was watchthetitles.com. I was looking at this site to gain more knowledge about titles and explore the differences between them. During this time, I saw different movie genres and how they affected their opening titles. These titles ranged from cartoon looking to being spooky and scary. It matched the genre of the movie. The theme of this website was black. It also had a variety of title options to watch. Some examples of the movies are "Are We There Yet", and "Silent Hill". They also acclaimed and interviewed different important people in the film making industry. Additionally, I read some of the articles below the video. These were discussing how the titles were thought of and created. I researched different opening titles to films and the role they played in grabbing the audience's attention and making the movie great. I learned the different aspects there is to making these titles. For instance, the disputes that go into who is being given the credit. When watching a movie, you never think that something that looks so easy and simple would require that much work and thought, Did you? 

 

Title Research: Art of the Title Website

Hi, welcome back to my blog. Today I'm visiting different websites for my title research blogs. There are many different aspects that go into creating titles for opening scenes. You have to think about what will grab and keep the audience's attention. Creativity also plays an essential role. My teacher asked us to visit two websites in order to learn more about titles, one of these was artofthetitle.com. When I first entered this website, I saw may different movies. I was slightly confused about the purpose and then I realized the different title designs and they're importance in a film. I researched different title sequences and saw how they make the movie entertaining. The way your titles are designed is dependent on the genre of your film. For example, if you were to do a thriller or suspenseful movie, then the title design should be more on the dark side. And vice-versa. If your filming a kid's movie, then the title design and the opening scene would represent happy and giddy things. The website is black and contains different opening film examples. I also learned some of the best title sequences of 2018-2019. These scenes include movies from The Politician, Spider-man: into the spider-verse, and The Darkest Minds.

A change of partner and pitch

     Hi, welcome back to my AICE Media Studies Blog! Today I have decided to work with a partner. This is because, the amount of assignments for this class a week was a little overwhelming, especially since I work everyday after school and have assignments from other classes to complete. Now, my partner and I can share the workload. I found myself staying up late desperate to finish one more blog before the due date. I soon realized that my friend Barbara was going through the same thing. We determined that it would be easier on us if we partnered up for this assignment. So it was time to mash all our work together and plan! It helped that both of our genres were thriller. After much talking and thought, we decided to keep Barbara's pitch about the girl who sufferers a psychological break and kills her family. From now one, we will be splitting the work load to make it convenient for the both of us.
