Planning Blog: Title Design

Image
This PowerPoint document contains all the information about what the title should be in the movie's opening sequence. There is a name for each title and what to call it. It shows the fonts, colors and sizes to use. I also indicated the spacing between characters. The tentative titles of each title are also posted on Google Slides. We've already talked about how the title transitions into the movie and how long each one is on screen. is to I used the same size, color, and font for each title to make the titles look consistent. The same applies to fade-ins and fade-outs and the length of time each track is displayed on screen.  This is the link to the PowerPoint that I made for this blog: <iframe src="https://browardcountyschools-my.sharepoint.com/personal/0613070096_my_browardschools_com/_layouts/15/Doc.aspx?sourcedoc={789f40ca-b0ac-4e01-bc70-4970b2476fbb}&amp;action=embedview&amp;wdAr=1.7777777777777777" width="476px" height="288px" fram...

Planning Blog: Location, Participants, Health, Schedule

Image
For our project, we chose to shoot at my home or apartment complex. That's because I do not need a lot of space for filming. Janiaya and Janae are all here and we can start shooting. Another good thing about this place is the security included. All of our parents agreed to let us film at this location. My parents also agreed to have an adult supervise us at all times in case something went wrong. When using something that is dangerous if used incorrectly, an adult will always be there in case of emergency. Another safety aspect of the community is that it has 24/7 security, making it safe to shoot after dark if necessary. The condo is gated for extra safety and comfort. Our group is not involved in any after school activities that would make it hard to schedule a filming time. Once we have a date and time that we know will work 100%, we will let you know on the production blog. We're so excited to make this film that it's a priority in all our schedules. Overall, it's e...

 Jennifer's House We see a young women named Jennifer sitting down on her couch alone. On her couch she is reading out loud about a serial killer on the loose to herself. Jennifer (To herself) Breaking News!  The San Antonio Police Department is dispelling rumors of a serial killer on the loose in the city. “We have found no factual basis on these claims,” SAPD posted on Facebook.  It’s the same social media site where dozens of people have been posting and sharing posts warning others that a serial killer was targeting female victims. The posts have also been seen on Twitter and Reddit claiming that nine women had been murdered so far.  SAPD said they are aware of the posts and wanted to reassure the public to not be alarmed, calling the posts “unsubstantiated.” Jennifer (To her mom) Oh my god mom! Have you heard the latest news? In her own room. Shouting back to her daughter as she makes her way to the couch where her daughter is. Esther (To Jennifer) No what's...

This website offers multiple opening sequences for many movies and shows.

I saw the Final Destination title sequence on the Art of the Title website. The first title featured in the opening sequence was the filmmakers New Line Cinema. The next titles on display were film producers Warren Zide and Craig Perry. After that, the next title was the name of the movie "Final Destination". The sequence listed the names of the main cast members one by one, followed by the names of the main characters who worked behind the scenes. These include casting directors, costume designers, music directors, editorial managers, production designers, camera directors, executive producers, co-producers and script directors. The opening sequence ends with "Directed by James Wong". In the opening sequence, the preferred images are dark images related to the plot of the film. For example, part of the sequence shows passports and textbooks about France. Parts of the film relate to several characters traveling to Paris. There are also background images with spooky ...
