 A key component of the final project has been the title sequence for our film's introduction. We have considered many different fonts and found one that gave off a mysterious and professional vibe. All of the titles will blend in and out of the sequence and be typed into the screen. Each one will be placed differently in the sequence depending on each shot.  The titles will last 3 to 4 seconds depending on the shot. Depending on each shot, the color of the title may differ. For some, they will be red and others will be black. The title of our film is likely to be "I'm Sorry" where the "Sorry" is a reddish maroon color and the "I'm" is black. The "Sorry" will be subjectively bigger than the "I'm". This is a common convention we saw in many mystery movie title sequences.  The rest of the titles will be black.   The font we chose to use for each title is "Modern No. 20". This font has a very professional look to...

For the next title research blog, we watched the opening sequence to the movie "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". There was a total of 30 titles shown in the two minutes and thirty five seconds of the opening scene. Each title had the same silver font and moved slightly, swiftly horizontally before disappearing. The first title is the film production industries, which is Columbia Pictures and Metro Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures. Then, a "Scott Rudin and Yellow Bird Production". Then it moves on to the director, "A David Fincher Film". Afterwards, names of the main actors that are featured in the film are listed. The titles then move on to other production related features, like who the music is by, costume designer, sound designer, editors, etc. Finally, the sequence ends with, "Directed by: David Fincher". I did find it strange that the director was featured twice, once in the beginning and the end.  Some of the sequences follow a linear development th...

    For the next title research blog, we researched the opening sequence of the movie "Get Out". In this movie, the first scene is a guy getting into a car and driving away. Then there's a clip of a bunch of trees going by like someone is in a car and driving on a long straight road with a bunch of trees next to it. The next clips are old random pictures that are black and white. The black and white shows that the pictures are old. The sequence moves on to a clip of a guy in an apartment drying himself off which shows he just got out of the shower. Then the clip jumpcuts to a girl at a bakery looking at a bunch of treats. It jumpcuts between the guy and the girl and then the girl ends up at his apartment. The guy is looking at pictures on his camera which infers he took the pictures we saw earlier in the sequence. There is a total of 35 titles shown in the 3-minute opening sequence. Each title was in a green-blue font and in the middle of the screen. Each scene shown make...

 In the opening sequence of "Gone Girl," there is a quick dialogue of a man talking about what he thinks about his wife. Then shortly after that, there is a bunch of clips of different scenery that last about 2 seconds each. In each of those small clips, the titles are displayed. They pop in fast and fade out. Including the enterprises, there are 25 titles displayed in all. The last title displayed is the date and text saying "the morning of". The images displayed give off a very somber and melancholy vibe. It makes me feel like the scene is right before sunrise and it's a quiet morning wherever the setting is. The images also give off an abandoned vibe. The music behind the clips is sort of creepy but calm. It gives the clips a more mysterious vibe. The genre is reinforced well through the music because it adds a more creepy effect to the clips.  It makes the audience curious about why it is so quiet. The lighting is a big convention of the opening sequence. Th...

 The viewer was given a time indication in the initial title opening scene with the text "day 1". The name of the movie "A Quiet Place" is displayed in big, bold red letters against a dark background in the second title. The first image informs the viewer of the time, and the second title introduces a title in large, bold red letters, creating a frightening atmosphere. As the story develops, this establishes the scary theme. Because of the dramatic lighting and scenario, you can identify what genre the movie is. They were also pursued by a bus that was moving backwards. This intensified the tension in the movie's first few opening moments. The opening sequences of A Quiet Place 2 attempted to elicit a sense of anticipation and tension. They employed a bus pursuit scene as the victim's car reversed. This encourages viewers to stay for more of the show. A dramatic scenario in the introduction will keep the viewer interested.
