Title Design

Image
 Hey everyone we hope you all are having a great day and welcome back to our blog! In today's blog we will be disclosing our title design for the opening sequence.  Font:  The opening credits of my film will appear in   a copperplate font. A copperplate font is very bold, simple, yet in your face all at the same time. This will perfectly fit the movies story as it is a boxing movie which has a lot of in your face action. An example of this font can be shown below. Contrast: The text will appear in a grey font to accommodate for the multiple backgrounds. We want the contrast to match so using grey will work for when we are in the darker setting. For example the text will appear on a punching bag which is black but grey will still be visible. When we are outside the grey font will still be able to contrast the brighter colors. If grey doesn't work we will move to a white color, the main difficulty is the fact that we are outside and inside for scenes, some darker areas and some l

 Hey everyone we hope you all are having a great day and welcome back to our blog! In todays blog we are developing are plans for our finals task, or our opening sequence you could say. These are our future plans that we have set but anything could change  Props : There are a lot of props that we will be using for our final task. We are using a picture of a couple that will be in the film, to introduce the conflict. We are also using a punching bag for the training scene, additionally we will be using some atheletic tape as well. A squat rack, bench, and other weights will be displayed in the background to further establish a tone.

Cut to: Scene 2: Hunter is wrapping his hands with tape, the camera zooms in on his hands when it then transitions to him on the floor doing pushups in his garage. He continues his workout by moving to the punching bag. The bag has loud signs and heavy grunts are heard echoing in the garage. While he's punching the bag the garage opens and the light brightens. Standing on the other side is his trainer, Zane.  ZANE Let's get to work, you know what you gotta do HUNTER  Yeah I know, I'm going to fight for what I want, what I deserve Cut to: Scene 3  THE DAYLIGHT HAS ARRIVED.

Hunter keeps messing up because he is in his head about the girl that he has losses to the man known as CAYDEN.  Hunter grunts here

Title Design:Websites

Hey guys it's us again and welcome back to another blog. In today's blog we are now looking into title designs and we need to research how they are made. When looking around the internet we found these two great websites and we'll be explaining what we noticed.    https://www.artofthetitle.com/   When looking into the art of the titles website for title designs we noticed a few things. At first glance,  the website offers a background about a visual editor which isn't of importance. We saw that this website offers a list of title sequences which is beneficial for us because we are looking in to how to make these title designs and bring them to life. What we like about this website is that they break down the title sequences by year; this allows us to see how titles are evolving or how they are remaining the same throughout the years. We observed that the later the year the title designs are made, the more visually appealing they are to the naked eye. This website seems

Movie Convention Research 'Spider-man: No Way Home'

Image
 Hey everyone we hope you all are having a great day and welcome back to another blog. In today's blog we will be diving into the elements and conventions used in "Spider-man: No Way Home ." Spider-Man: No Way Home is a movie about a superhero named Spider-Man. Like many superhero movies, the movie has a hero who fights evil and saves the day. One of the unique things about the movie is that it features multiple versions of Spider-Man from different universes. The villain in the movie is Doctor Octopus, a classic enemy of Spider-Man. The movie includes a lot of action scenes where Spider-Man swings from building to building and fights bad guys. There are also some funny moments in the movie to lighten the mood. The movie uses special effects to make the villains look realistic. There are also emotional moments in the movie, like when a character dies. The movie explores the theme of responsibility and doing what is right. The music in the movie is really good and adds to

Movie Convention Research 'Avengers End Game'

Image
 Hey everyone! We all hope you are having a great day and welcome back to another blog! In today's blog we will be diving in and looking at the movie elements of one of the most grossed movies in the recent years 'Avengers End Game.'  This movie uses a lot of conventions and I will be explaining just what they use. This movie uses the convention of a good guy fighting a bad guy. In the movie you have a group of heroes known as The Avengers who fight to stop the villain known as Thanos. This movie tells their story through action and has the typical idea of a villain trying to take over the world, in this case, a villain trying to takeover the universe. This movie also uses a lot of stereotypical superhero costumes as well. Some heroes wear capes like Doctor Strange and others are in a suit with weapons like Ironman for example. The height of action is through the roof with this film. In almost every science there is some type of fight going on which is typical of an action

Movie Convention Research 'The Batman'

Image
 Hey everyone we hope you are all having a great day and welcome to our blog! 'The Batman' is an action movie that has swept the stage upon its release. In today's blog we will be diving into what elements the directors use to create such a beautiful action film. In a typical action movie, it starts out with a lot of action. In 'The Batman' instead of a high-action scene to set up the movie they take a different approach. They do start out with a sudden death as most action movies do; however no action actually took place.  This movie is also set at night which makes it a noir movie. They go against conventions of a movie typically being filmed during the day, especially an action movie. This movie is able to film at night and still get some high quality action shots even in the dark due to the technology that we have today. For example, in Batman's face off with the penguin, he seemingly defeats the penguin and walks off with the car exploding. This has a great

The Decision

Image
 Hey guys welcome back to our blog, for today's blog we will be making our decision for which genre we will be using for our opening sequence. Genre(Thriller)- After researching the thriller genre, we can say that this is a great genre for our opening sequence. We can take the suspenseful, scary route for our pitch but there are a few problems with this. The first issue is that it would be hard conducting such a film with our pitch. Our pitch deals with the empty hole in a characters heart and his will to fight to fill that void, literally. It would be difficult to make a thriller film with this pitch. Although this could very well be done, it would seem odd and unfit.  Genre(Comedy)- Comedy, this is such a magnificent genre as it brings happiness and laughter to the lives of the audience watching it. For our film making a comedy is a great route to take. We can easily make a parody between Hunter and Cayden as they have a silly, impractical conflict over a girl.  The main issue ho

Genre Research Action

 Camera Angles, Movements, Shots Establishing Shot- This shot is used in action films to captivate where the story is taking place so they can get straight to the action. Close up- This shot is used to typically emphasize a quick death in action films. In opening sequences for action films, movies usually start with a lot of action, so close-ups are usually the last shot used to emphasize the action taking place.  Tracking shots- In action films there is always, something significant that happens in the opening sequence to establish the action. Tracking shots are used to capture all of the high speed action taking place.  High angle- This is used to establish the character who is out of power Low angle- Used to show who has the power in the action  Ex: Top Gun Maverick  Mis-En-Scene Props in action movies usually consist of high speed vehicles, guns, weapons, or maybe props to immediately establish what the story is about. These are all used for either fighting, racing or to set up the

Genre Research Comedy

 Camera angles, Shots, and movement      Medium shots, over the shoulder shots, two shots, close ups, and long shots are all common camera angles in comedy. All of these camera angles contribute to the success of comedies. A happy and uplifting music, brighter lighting to represent the comic part of the film (making it happier). Ex:  Mis-En-Scene Clothes in comedy films consisting of brighter colors and vibrancy, and props in comedy films are generally wacky, amusing, or stupid are all common Mise En Scene utilized in comedy films. Props usually include funny gadgets or things to humiliate the characters in a way that it's fun. Actors play a crucial part in comedy films because without them there would be no development and nothing funny. Ex: Editing       In comedy films, editing techniques include having precise scene timing, editing as though the sequence was not filmed on one camera (using separate clips from numerous cameras for the same scene), Cuts, and adding or removing un

Genre Research Thriller

Genre Research: Thriller Close-up- may be used when your attention is intentionally directed to the character's face and at times what is behind them. Extreme close-up- used as a powerful way to convey the emotion that the subject is feeling.
They are used in thrillers to allow the audience to get a clear understanding of the emotions the character is going through. Used mostly to convey fear, pain, and sadness in thrillers. Low angle-to show the power struggles of characters throughout intense scenes. High Angle- to show the power struggles of characters throughout intense scenes. Ex:   Costumes are more often than not very simple and plain. Muted colors are usually used to not take away from what is actually happening in the movie. For example in the Split trilogy, muted colors are used for costumes when we are to focus on the dialogue and action. And bright colors are used when they want us to focus on a character. Lowkey lighting is a high-contrast lighting technique that i
