Title Website Research

 


www.artofthetitle.com :


Before any planning can be initiated, my group and I are in need of more information regarding opening sequences. Through further discussion, we were able to come across two useful websites. Art of the Title is one of the main ones that we explored and were able to spend some time getting used to the new site. When scrolling on the homepage of the site, we can see several different options all ranging from title designs, movie reports, title sequences, etc. With a closer look, we noticed how they were lined up left to right by date, latest to oldest released. Then, we left the homepage by clicking on the link to title sequences, which then led us to a display of a collage of different movie title covers. On the left, there is a sidebar labeled Feature, which includes details such as the style and date. Scrolling further, we saw a list of the top ten title sequences of 2020 listed in ascending order. All of the listed sequences were a video clip that would range from thirty seconds to nine minutes, the average being a minute long. Each title sequence was followed by a paragraph or two providing us with a thorough description on information such as inspirations behind the works, studios that were involved, etc.

The second website we researched was a website called watchthetitles. We stumbled upon this website, when we were looking for other opening sequences, and this popped up. On the website, there are different open sequences with different genres. When you start to scroll on the homepage of the website you see colorful pictures and different tabs you can click on from big movie projects to student made films, television shows. They even featured the designers of the opening sequences and interviewed them that were available to watch. When you click on the designer tab on the top of the page, you realize that they categorize the designer in alphabetical order and listed the opening sequences that they have designed.They italicized the name of the show, we think is so it draws attention to the reader, and the designer can get more recognition for their work. When you scroll to the bottom there is a category called French Fridays, they recognize and appreciate cinema works of French which is a different region, so that was interesting. They had a whole range of Interviews from different designers, that was often followed by an article about them. We think that both of these sites will be useful to us, because the first website gave information about the opening sequences as well as showed them to us. The second website provided us with information about the designers and other projects they have worked on, so that will be beneficial to our project.

Title Design Research: Crazy Rich Asians

 1.  How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? There are four titles. The titles are the movie name, and the companies that co-produced the movie. 2.What connotations do the images carry? (How do you they make you feel?)  The images are very colorful and change with each new title that is presented on the screen. This makes me feel happy and excited to see the rest of the movie/film. 3. How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you tell what genre the film is?) Although it is a little hard to see what the genre is, the movie still uses some symbolic codes that correspond with the genre. Such as, using bright colors and upbeat music. As this is a romantic comedy and is supposed to be more on the cheerful/hopeful side as well as giving comedic relief. 4. What conventions are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience? In order to do this the film uses visual effects and music ...

Genre Research: Cinderella The Amazon Original

Image
   Hello, today My group and I are researching Fantasy Movies so we have a better idea of what our opening sequence will look like. The first movie we are researching is Cinderella, made by Amazon.  The common sounds that I found in cinderella, was dialogue, and diegetic sound, along with singing. I did notice that in most fantasy moves it opens with some kind of narration, like a storybook. In this movie it did it as well, it also broke into sound and dance within the first 15 to 25 seconds in.  One of the common camera angles was a bird's eye view, so the audience could see the different movements the actors were doing as they danced. Another common camera angle was the medium shot, this was often used if the character was sitting, or if the character was eating, basically something that didn't require that much movement. The last common camera angle is Wide shot when a character was walking or opening a door, or talking to another character.  In this movie, t...

  Props:     My group will be using a backpack, piece of paper and our product (Paper Mate pens). We will also be using a different type of pen (not the one we are advertising) to contrast to the Paper Mate pen.  Since we will be making our commercial about a brand of pen we will not need to have a lot of props.  Costumes:  My groupmates and I will all be in the commercial (be actors). Since this commercial is about pens (usually people are wearing normal clothes) we will just be wearing regular/normal/street clothes. If our filming takes place between multiple days we will make sure to be wearing the same things- so not to have a confused audience/have it make sense.  Schedule:   On 9/23/21: Our group will research any essential things for this project/commercial. The planning for things such as a backup plan, set/location, costumes, scheduling and the props needed will also be finished.  By 9/29/21: We will make sure the storyboar...
