What Its Going To Look Like

Image
  We have 3 types of titles for our credits: names (includes the producer companies). the title, and dates. Names- Font:   The font we will be using is "Chiller" we find this font good since it gives the text a sort of creepy vibe which is good to build up suspense  Size and Color:  The size is going to be 55 it will be easy to read but not big enough to block anything. The color most likely will be red since it will look like blood or white so it will be easy to read since most of the scenes will be dark. The name of the companies will be a bigger size of 85 since the names of companies are usually larger. Transitions and Location:  The text transitions we will be using is "Random Bars" this makes the words appear in the scree through well random bars. The titles will be placed in the corners of the screen while the companies names will be placed at the top or middle of the screen. Time:  The titles will appear one at a time and will be shown for 3 to 5 seconds eac

 The task of today was to see what my films title would be know as. Although, I have had a couple of ideas that I liked nothing seemed to really stand out so far, and have that magical feelings alot of movies and shows have. I think the title a movie is very important as that is the first thing the audience will know when someone says, “Hey do you wanna watch ____”. The title should be something that sounds exciting and mysterious, something that lures you in and makes you want to watch it, it should feel enthralling. I didn’t really have an exact idea of where I would start to come up with a name, so I decided maybe I shold research online. I found a couple of websites that would help choose for movies within the same genre as mine. One website was www.watchthetitles.com. This website was given to me by a friend, and gave me a even better idea on things I could do. Another website was www.artofthetitle.com, which I felt was a good one as other people said they also found it and liked

Genre Decision: Thriller

 The genre we chose for our Final Task is the thriller genre. We all came together after school and had a long talk about which genre to chose. Out of the following 3 genres thriller,comedy, and love we chose thriller. One of the reasons we chose to use the thriller genre is because the type of shots are easy to film. One of the most popular shots used in a thriller is a establishing shot which is one of the easiest and most important type of shots. An establishing shot is the first shot in a scene which shows an overview of the setting. We can use a establishing shot to show when the action is happening and where it's happening. An establishing shot used in a thriller is much more important and easier to shoot compared to a comedy or a love story since in a thriller the setting is everything. Another Shot that is extremely useful and easy to shoot in a thriller is a tracking shot. A tracking shot is when the camera physically moves in any direction. Again this an extremely easy sh

  Two-shots are very commonly used shots in romance movies. close-ups are usually used when the couples kiss or to show facial expressions .Over- the shoulder shots are very highly used in romance movies to show the conversation. Long shots are used when the actors are doing things like walking or hugging, or forming a connection, to show body language. Costumes in romance movies usually include formal attire when the couple go to dates with each other. Lighting is very light when the when the mood is happy and when the characters are outside. But is also can be dark to set the "mood" to good on a date. Acting in these movies usually shows very touchy scenes that grow there connection. Women always wear makeup to make themselves look very nice on dates. Some props that could be used are chocolates, flowers, or money. Cross cuts are used often also to show what couples are doing at different times and locations. , for example if one is at the pool while the other is cheating a

Genre Research: Comedy

 There are various camera angles used in comedies, including: eye level and high angle. High angles are used to make someone seem inferior, and this can be used to perhaps make fun of the subject, or whatever is at hand. Eye level camera angles allows viewers to see the reactions of all people in the scenes. Seeing the reactions of all people, to a joke, can make the scene more laughable and thus add to the comedy factor. Camera movements in comedy movies include: tracking shots and intense zoom ins. Intense zoom in are used to create an effect where the physical camera either bumps into the actor and gets sort of a awkward close up of their face. Tracking shots, as the name suggests, used to follow the character, maybe they are escaping, or running to hide. Costumes in comedies vary depending on what the profession of the actor is and what the movie is about. For example a student may wear a uniform, a lawyer may wear a suit, a construction worker a vest, etc. There could also be basi

Our Pitch

Image
 Pitch 1: Man wakes up to the end of the world. This would be a good movie because I have watched The Walking Dead, and our team members have a good idea on what we could make for this short film. I have ideas for places to shoot and what not. Some other things to consider, is whether or not we will have to pay for props. We could just act things out or to entice it, we could pay for some props to make it look better. This should not be a big problem though, its just a matter of conversing with our team members. We think that this is a unique idea, as most people might go with the traditional kidnapping or stalking. Some problems we might have is people in the area, or if there are restrictions to the area. Pitch 2:  Friends laundering money for the cartel. This was our second idea, but the problem with it is we aren't sure how exactly we would go about the way of presenting a cartel and people laundering money. It sounds easy, and the idea was based of the show Ozark, which took a
