Title Research: Art of the Title Website

 Hey guys so for this blog I'll be telling you about, Art of the Title, a website that focuses on showing opening title sequences for shows and movies. The website introduced me to a lot of movies I didn't know were out there, a lot of them were documentaries. While reading on them and watching their opening sequence I realized that a lot of them represented the theme of the documentary in one way or the other. Some documentaries did not, but instead tried to use the opening sequence as a way to guide the audience and set the tone for what they might see throughout the documentary.

Choosing action could only benefit us since Anya has experience in it and could really act as a back-up. It works well with our pitch because the idea of struggling and drama can show high paced physical scenes where a character ...

Genre Research: Action & Horror

Hey guys so for this blog I'll be telling you about the genres action and horror.        Action films focus on showing destructive scenes and many high paced shots. This goes towards the fighting in many action movies along with explosions. To create this directors often rely on many high angled shots, close-ups, aerial shots, and medium shots. These angles usually show the most action and is where a fight may take place or where something may blow up. Although action movies are high paced they use lowkey lighting and motivated lights. The lowkey lighting can be used to highlight certain aspects of a scene along with a close-up and motivated lighting works with medium shots to display everything happening in a scene. Action movies like many other movies rely on the sound. Ambient sound is very common in action movies and lets the audience connect themselves with the movie. Make up and props, usually match the scene and adds to the realism found in action movies....
