 This is our groups information on the specifics on our title sequences through our film: Font: We will use a solid, blocky style large bold font, that gives an intimidating feel and captures the goal of our overall thriller genre, and suspenseful tone throughout. Colors: For the most part, darker, more bold colors will be used in our title sequence, we want the focus to be on the film itself and bright colors risk the audiences attention from being taken away from that. Size: We are going to use a smaller font size in our title sequence, nevertheless we are sure to make the font plenty big for our audience to be able to recognize who took part in this film. But, again we want most of the attention to be drawn towards the film we are working so hard to create! Working title: Our working title will contain all of our actors, as well as behind the scenes participants, who edited. Who worked on sound choice, costumes, and overall all of our conventions that we learned. We also will en...

 Me and my group are starting to prepare for the film and what is involved in filming it. Over the last couple weeks, we have figured out the location, participants, health, schedule, and backup plan.  Location: The locations will be frost park and a car. At frost park there will be an actor on his daily walk and there will a different actor spying on him. So we will have two actors at the park and on person filming us. Frost is a great location because our genre is thriller, and many things that are thrilling can occur at the park so me and my group feel it is a great location. The second will be a car. In the film, one of the actors gets kidnapped, and the other actor puts him in the car. Then, they start driving with the other actor mobilized.  Participants: There will be three participants in the film. There will be two main actors, and we will have a group member to film. However, we might incorporate the group that films into the film. Schedule:  On February 2n...

 For our title blog we chose "Splice." A title sequence from a movie in the thriller genre. Here is some information we pulled for the title sequence. 1. How many titles, are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? Throughout the 3 minute and 30 second video, the video showed 32 title scenes. This opening was more like an end credit, it included the producer companies, actors, producers, directors, etc. At the end of the title scene it showed "Splice" with the letters enlarged and held for a few seconds. The camera looked like it was going through the body of something and along the way titles would transition in and slowly fade and a new title was coming in. 2. What connotations do the images carry? (How do they make you feel) The title sequences first contains images of many different x-rays with titles in every other picture. After, it is like a camera quickly moving through the body of what seems like a snake, vert closely and quickly. Yo...

 For this title design, we choose "outbreak". A title sequence from a movie in the thriller genre. Here is some information, that our group did as we researched this title sequence. 1. How many titles are displayed during the opening sequence to the film? Which ones? Throughout the title sequence there were 28 different titles displayed through the scenes. As the film began, the lead actors, or main characters of the film's names were presented in blue bold letters, later, after about four of these titles the name of the movie came up in larger text, "outbreak." After this a new scene transitioned that displayed a "present day" text, and shortly after the setting was displayed as another title. Then, smaller, less important actor titles were displayed to the audience. Although, often the opening sequence transitioned to naming the ones involved, to showing the settings of the different labs in the building. After some time, the back round people's ...

 Me and my group were researching title designs and opening sequences and we came across two really cool websites! First, we found a website called Artofthetitle.com. This website will substantially help our group in the production process. Why did we research opening sequences? Well, we wanted to get an idea of what a sample film or something similar should look like. By doing this, it helps our group come up with a better product in the end. Furthermore, by researching sample opening sequences it helps give our group inspiration, or other ideas to include in ours. By finding this website, our group can now refer to them when confused or come across a problem. We are excited to soon being filming, after further diving into these websites and looking at some example of opening sequences. We are happy that we found this website! The second website that me and my group found is called WatchtheTitles.com. This website is really useful for actually viewing pieces of film. To be able to...
