Title Website Research

 

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 inspiration for my own title design that will invoke fear in the audience from the start.

The second website in which I analyzed to see what it had to offer was www.watchthetitles.com. This site was a lot more appealing upon first glance categorizing the different type of title designs it had to offer. It was also pretty easy to navigate and browse through the titles. Even with that being said the catalog of title sequences wasn't as adverse as I would have liked it to be. When searching for films that were within my genre and were more modern I didn't find very much to go off of. The website had barely anything that really stood out to me which was what I was looking for when analyzing.The title sequences that I was able to find within my genre were pretty bare bones and didn't really provide me with a lot of creative direction. In which I would have liked to take away from the website especially since I have a lot of editing softwares at my disposal. That would help me bring in an audience just from the preview of who helped produce the film. While the website lacked opening sequences from more modern it provides a good alternative to the other site in which I analyzed in case I want to incorporate something from an older horror film that would make it feel more eerie and daunting.

  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...
