Planning for the Final Task: Title Design


 Hey guys, for this blog I'll be showing you my title design for my opening sequence. My genre for this opening sequence is thriller, and for that reason I want to give the titles a color that draws attention and brings suspense. In order to do that I believed that the best font would be Franklin Gothic Heavy. It looks like THIS. The reason behind choosing this font although it is pretty similar to many is because it offers a strong look. I plan on using white colored font and presenting the titles in a dark lower third of the screen. I plan on using a fade in effect to show the title and a fade out effect to make it disappear. The titles will all be in capital letters as well as the name. I don't plan on changing the font size of the titles or names, but they may look bigger on screen than they do here. To clarify, I  don't want the black box behind the actual words and it's only there to represent the white. I want my title to represent my opening sequence. By using something basic, but strong enough to catch the audiences attention is my main goal with the titles. When deciding this font I took into consideration that my opening sequence may not have all the perfect spots for my titles and that I would need to change the font color to black. If that is the case I decided to change my font as well to match the color. The second font is Verdana Pro Black and looks kind of like THIS. There is a proper picture to both of these fonts down below. Depending on the scenes and whether or not the words blend in I might change the spacing of the letters. It may look more like T H I S and T H I S.I plan on showing the titles for 3 seconds and for the fade in/out effect to last less than a second. I believe that these will best represent my opening sequence and work to attract the audiences eyes. The following are pictures of what the titles will look like on screen.

The In Between

 Hey guys, so for this blog I'll be talking about the week before our second day of filming on the 23rd. After filming on the first day we filled in Anya on everything that happened the first day and decided that we would film again on the 23rd. Leading up to that date Daniellla had helped me get access to Adobe Premeire Pro so I can begin editing. She also uploaded all the videos we filmed on to google drive so we can have easy access to it. We took some videos and photos on Ben's phone and had those sent so we can get the different angles and bloopers. We decided the next steps were to figure out our location and plan for the second day of filming. Originally we thought it would be best to film the first two minutes of the film and get those out of the way. We also wanted to make sure that Anya was well enough to help us film so she we can get her scenes done. We weren't able to use Anya's house to film so we agreed on Danni's house. We were to film at the same ti...

Short Film Research: Tangles and Knots

  A sticky, intimate bond between mother and daughter becomes threatened when the mother helps her teenage daughter throw a party to impress new, popular friends. Sound: In the dialogue, there is no difference in how the mother and daughter speak to each other, speaking more like friends than mother and daughter. However, when the party starts, the mom begins interjecting herself into the daughter's conversations, teaching her how to take a jello shot and encouraging her to come into the pool. The added sound contributes to the setting, with dance music that helps bring the idea of it being a party altogether. This is made apparent when there is no dialogue and the daughter is just dancing, where all that can be heard is the music she's dancing to. There is no dialogue that needs to be understood or listened to, more so the viewer can focus on the daughter's awkward movements and how she feels in that moment. Mis-en-scene: The opening scenes work as a good introduction to ...

Planning for the next shoot

 Hey guys, so not much has changed since the last blog. My friend still has COVID and I don't see a time that we'll be able to film the final scenes yet. Fortunately he has gotten better but as far as safety is concerned I don't see a possibility for filming. My new plan for now is to begin editing. Since I filmed the scenes in chronological order I can begin preparing the first cut of the film. This will allow me to see if there are any scenes which may need to be reshot or if I'm missing any scenes that need to be filmed. At first my editing plan was to use Adobe Premiere Pro as I have for my previous projects, but the computer I was using can't handle the program and started malfunctioning. Right now the deadline is nearing and I've been stopped in my tracks due to my friend getting infected. I plan on doing one of two things in order to go around these problems of mine. First plan is to get through filming even with my actor being infected. To do that I will...
