Title Design Research: The Invisible Man

 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, makeup and hair design. The final title in which was displayed was the different people who were part of the casting for the film. Much like how the studios and movie title were presented the titles were presented for a few seconds before they faded away. These images make me feel as if I venturing into the unknown from a place in which is known by me. 

As stated earlier the first thing seen on screen by the audience was the open ocean with waves crashing into rocks revealing words. Then shortly after the words would slowly become translucent before fully disappearing. This is symbolic towards the name of the film since the invisible isn't visible to the naked eye unless revealed by a substance. Which creates that sense of mystery leaving the audience wondering what is to come from the film. Which is most commonly associated with the goal of a horror film, to keep the audience on their toes about what's to come.

The conventions that are used to convey the genre to the audience is the soundtrack that accompanies the opening sequence. The soundtrack creates a sense of eerie while also making it feel as if the unknown is coming to the light. In my opinion doing a great job of making the audience uneasy right from the start of the film.

Genre Research: Horror

  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.

THE FINAL TASK

 This final is something that I have spent a lot of time making sure that it was perfect. I spent almost five days filming the scenes for the final task, because I wanted every scene to be done with maximum effort. The editing process also took a long time to get done consuming at least 4 to 5 hours out of two days. While editing this final task I got stressed out but I kept going because I knew it would be worth all of the hard work. Sometime even requiring me to take a step back to avoid overworking myself and becoming too stressed. I had to improvise at one point and start to adjust the order in which the clips were placed so they matched up with the music. That was probably the only bad experience that I had but once I finished that up and was able to reflect on everything I was able to accomplish  I  and enjoyed myself. I've improved my editing and filming skills over the course of this project which shows in the final product. I even had a little fun with it and too...
