   PROPS The props that I will be using for the final task are cell phones. In which actors will be using to hold a phone call and text. COSTUMES There will be a variety of costumes used for different scenes of the music video. The first couple of scenes and the last scene will introduce a casual outfit to go with the setting. Then getting into the later scenes the actors will be in pajamas as the second scene will take place in a more secluded space.

The film I will be analyzing today is Halloween released in 2018 Throughout the opening sequence there were a total of 17 titles put onto to display. The first of those titles were who directed the film and those who worked on the screenplay and screen story for the film. Followed by who helped to executively produce and produce the film for the audience. Then who produced the photography, film design, editing, costumes and music. Next up was the line producer, visual effects supervisor, makeup and hair design The images used in the title sequence evoked different feelings. Depending on what you focus your attention on you may see the growing pumpkin on the side. You could see this as something that would put you on edge or instill a sense of fear in you. However, in the title designs each one would start out as a bold orange color and flash a blood red before changing over quickly to the next sequenced title. The colors complemented one another well. You could tell by the designs used

 The film that I will talking about next is a film named Underwater released in 2020. The opening sequence start with all the studios that worked on the film before revealing the title of the film. The studios and film title were presented in a descending matter. As one group of text was displayed the next group of text would display under that first. As if to create a sense of descending deeper into the abyss which would be suiting towards the title of the film. Throughout the opening sequence there were a total of 17 titles displayed on screen. In which I will list based upon when the order they appear on screen after the studios. The first group of titles included all the actors that stared in the film, who oversaw casting for the film and who the music in the film was by. The next group of titles that were displayed were the visual effects supervisor, editors, and production design. Followed by the executive producer, producers, creator of the story for the film, screenplay, and di

 The next film in which I will be analyzing to how they display their film titles is Antebellum. Like any other film the first thing that was displayed in the opening sequence was the studio in which helped to produce the film. Followed by 11 other titles of everyone in which helped bring the film to the audience. The first of those titles was who the film was by, who was in charge of music supervision, casting and who the music was by. The next few titles were the costume designer, film editor, production designer, and photography producer. The final titles were the executive producers, producers, who wrote and directed the film. Before the the titles are displayed on the screen a quote is shown that states  "The past is never dead. It's not even past." When this  quote  was displayed  I  was left wondering how that will tie into the film and what is meant. The titles for the film are displayed are the displayed as a camera pans across a home and a slave plantation displ

 The films title design in which I will be analyzing is The Invisible Man a film released in 2020. To start off the studios who worked on the film alongside the title of the film were presented. The way in which the names of the studio were filmed fit into what the movie was about. The studio names would only appear once water came rushing towards a group of rocks washing over them revealing the studio. Once the water had a washed away from the rocks the title would disappear shortly after revealing another title when another group of waves crashed against the rocks. Throughout the opening sequence there were a total of 14 titles put onto to display. The first of those titles were who directed the film and those who worked on the screenplay and screen story for the film. Followed by who helped to executively produce and produce the film for the audience. Then who produced the photography, film design, editing, costumes and music. Next up was the line producer, visual effects supervisor

  The first site in which I analyzed to see what a traditional title design looks like was www.artofthetitle.com. I wanted to find a site that would provide me with a bunch of options on title designs in my chosen genre and for ones that were outside of my genre. While I was on this site I wanted to just browse and see what title designs it had to offer. Upon first glance the site seemed to lack much diversity to me. As I continued to browse the site though I found a lot of opening sequences from older films. While also finding opening sequences for the modern films that have updated technology and really make the title design pop. To see what the title design of other films in my genre looked liked and how they would portray the background of the film. In order to get a grasp of what my opening sequence should look like when prepping to film. I even took the time out to stop and look at a few of the opening sequences from horror films across time. Taking away some potential inspiratio

 The three key components in which make a horror film one of the best in the industry is the element of surprise, an ambient soundtrack that strikes fear into the audience and a frightening menace. This movie exhibited all three of these elements in the most perfect way possible. The storyline and plot were simple and to the point. While this is still true the sound used added thrill and exhilaration you would want in a powerful horror film. That leaves the audience craving more screenplay towards the end of the film. It already has their attention as it continues to draw the audience in deeper into the perspective of the main character.    Hereditary played the use of camera angles to perfection at all times of the film. The first being high angles in which made the entity in which the audience could not see seem as almighty compared to those of the main characters in the film. Later, in the film an extreme close-up shot is used to capture the horror that is left on the characters fac

  This time around I wanted to analyze a film that was more unique and incorporated something that was never done before in a horror film. Using barely any character dialogue  thought the course of the film which made the film just that much scarier. With no sound too dictate when something will pop out at you the film is made 3 times scarier than the traditional horror film. Creating a monster that can hear even the smallest if sounds reacting in mere minutes and wipe out anyone. Which I will be looking deeper into as I analyze the quiet place and the revolutionary change it made in the horror genre To start of the first thing that I will be analyzing in the quiet place is the most used camera angles. The camera angle that I saw the most in the Quiet Place was the close up shot. This shot was used every time the monsters would come around to capture the fear on the characters faces as they struggle to stay silent.The next most used camera angle was low angle shots when the otherworldl

 Most people love to watch shows that tell them a story across multiple seasons keeping them engaged. While others like to watch movies that compress the story into an hour or two with continuous screenplay. In the horror genre though most of the audience prefers a movie providing the origin of a character and carrying out through several movies. Sometimes presenting an image that a viewer can’t get out of their head for a few days because it haunts them in their sleep.  So, I thought to myself why not analyze a horror film and see how the different components that are incorporated into the film to make it really pop out and terrify the audience.    A film that I decided to analyze the different components individually of was Insidious: The Last Key. A movie that is set in 1953 and depicts a paranormal entity that was set free in prior years has returned to haunt the main character. In the opening scene of the movie the director uses an establishing shot to inform viewers that the hous

    While I have been analyzing the components of many different genres in the filming industry I have came to a decision for the genre I will use for my opening sequence.  The genre in which I will be doing for my opening sequence is the horror genre. I choose this genre  because it provides me with a lot of creative opportunity in every component in the filming industry. I came to this decision after watching horror films and analyzing the different aspects that are contributed into the storytelling of a horror film. Horror films also allow me to focus on the components of filming that I've been improving upon all year. The special effects that you can add into a horror film to create that eerie and ominous filming that leaves the audience on the edge of their seat just peaks my interest.  While the action genre also sparked my interest because of the different camera angles like that are used to tell a story. The camera angles that are commonly used in action films are those tha

  The romance is a more vibrant genre with many components that display happiness. Romance films will often have a twist but at the end the main point in the film is about the pursuit of love between two characters. Romance is not only its own genre, but it can be branched off into many separate genres like thriller, Comedy, Drama, and sometimes even horror films. Common lighting usually seen in romance includes high key lighting in which makes the seen more cheerful. This effect is created with vibrant colors that make the audience feel welcome and calmed.   One of the most common camera angles in the romance world are close shots. Which allows the audience to examine the characters face to see their feelings and emotions which a key component of the romance is seeing as romance is strong emotions between two people. Another common camera angle seen in romance films are over the shoulder shots. It captures the face expressions and body language of the person in which an actor is talki

  Horror films are designed to scare the audience and inflict certain emotions into them. The different aspects when it comes filming and editing horror has been investigated. To see what really goes into making a horror film pop out at an audience. For starters, the common lighting used in horror films is low lighting. It creates a mysterious mood that builds tension, stress, and fear. So that the audience will stay on their toes never knowing when something will pop out to scare them. Frequently used camera shots includes close-up shots, over-the-shoulder shots, low angle shots, high angle shots, and canted angle shots. These draw the audience's attention and contributes to their thoughts on the context of the storyline. Mostly used in scenes where the entity in which is portrayed as horrifying is on screen causing havoc.    There are many different editing and sound elements that contribute to a horror film. Some include special effects in which leaves the audience scared of wha

  Action movies are undoubtedly the most detailed genre in the filming industry. In which they're often a distinct hero and a villain displayed in that will serve as the main characters if the film. To grab the attention of the audience a battle amongst the two characters is displayed until one has ultimately been defeated. The hero characters in action films often wear mask to accompany the rest of their costume in order to keep their identity sealed from the public. There is also often times within an action film where the screenplay will be in favor of the villain of the film. Which is done to show that the hero character of a film might not always have what it takes to defeat a villain the first time around. Now into the most commonly used camera angles used in an action film in order to build a sense of tension between the two characters. Analyzing why they are a key part of the film and how they display the conflict between characters. The most commonly used camera angles in

 1st Pitch- A female teens worst nightmare comes to fruition as she is pursued around town by a masked entity. Consuming the lives of those in which she holds dearest while seemingly looming over her shoulder. 2nd Pitch- A man who is serves as an office worker is called to duty by his country leaders. As the war progresses defeat seems imminent until he takes action into his own hands and becomes a national hero. 1st pitch analysis- I believe that this pitch would be interesting to carry about because it provides an interesting story in just a few short lines. I believe if this idea were to be pitched to a big time director they would be enticed by the detailed description of the films plot. The pitch also leaves space for a lot of creative input so that I can really take control of the film. Also I believe something like this would allow me to input all of the different camera movements and edits I've learned this year.   For example the scenes where the actor is traveling around
