Title Research: Thriller

We chose the film Panic Room.  It was released March 29,2002 and directed by David Fincher. I chose the movie from (artofthetitle.com).

1.      What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?

Titles displayed throughout the opening sequence is the name of the actors themselves. It also shows the name of the studio and production company. It gives us the name of the producers, directors, writers, designers, etc.

2.      What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?

Images prioritized throughout the opening sequence are buildings from the outside in New York City. It shows from the side of buildings and houses. It also shows the city with cars from high buildings.

3.      What connotations do these images carry?

The connotations of these images are very positive. It shows us the beautiful city of that New York has to offer. It shows the tall buildings and the outside of where people hang out during daily life.

4.      How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?

From the beginning it automatically gives us the set background music to go with the genre. The music is very suspenseful and though it only shows us titles the music plays a huge role. Thriller movies give us the suspense to keep us attached to this film from the very beginning.

5.      What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?

The used strategies of having a location known to the audience. They used big words and fonts to appeal and catch the viewers' eyes. They used suspenseful music in order to keep the thriller vibe from the beginning of the film.

6.      How has technology been used effectively?

You want to consider the editing techniques used as there are only titles and not actual scenes. The editors used technology from other things such as drones to capture the different angles and views of the buildings captured. They typed the words and made sure they changed the fonts in order to give the effect wanted.

Filming Blog for Music Video

     My group and I have not decided when to edit our video yet. Looking back on the filming day it was very fun. I am both sad and relieved about the filming. I feel this way because it was really fun to work with my group but I am relieved we got it done. I had a great time filming especially because we are all friends. We were all in contact and started to plan everything immediately. I feel like filming is better than editing for us because we can't meet up this time to edit. It was a little hectic because the storyboard was not really matching up with our scenes. In the end, we found a way to make it work because we were not going to leave until it did. Luckily, in the end, before the sunset we got all our shots done. I am grateful to be able to work with them because they really know how to get work done. We have talked before about working together for the commercial but we had already paired up. This time we actually got to work together and it was very easy to se...

Genre Research: Action & Thriller

The action and thriller genres have many similarities and differences, especially when it relates to CLAMPS. Action Films Action films tend to use different aspects of lighting such as, three-point, low key, natural, and high key lighting. Like thriller films, action movies contain excessive use of make-up and costumes to make the movie seem and realistic as possible. Not to mention, directors use make-up and costumes to separate normal and abnormal characters within the film. In action movies low-key, high-key, natural, and three-point lighting are commonly used during film. During the editing process, editors of action films are more likely to use graphic and action matches, slow motion effects, and plenty visual effects. Especially in movies like Spiderman, Avengers, and Iron Man. As for camera angles action movies are usually seen with using aerial shots, high angles, low angles, and canted (Dutch) angles. Common camera movements would be pan, tilt, dolly, and crane. Moving on,...

Planning Blog: Scripts

  Writing the scripts was easy for our group.  Our group already had ideas in mind for what we wanted in our film and it all came down to write these ideas in a script.  To create the script our group has used PowerPoint.  Using PowerPoint has made our  scripts  easier  to  read for the group and for the actors.  We successfully made t he  shooting script  go hand in hand  with the sound and dialogue script . The scripts are always very descriptive when it comes to sound, lighting, camera shots, and camera movements.  Not to mention, that there is enough dialogue to keep the movie scenes mysterious and  intimidating.  All that’s left is to film and edit using the scripts and storyboard as our guide.   One of the group members  Anayah  oversaw writing the two scripts, however, everyone pitched in to throw in their own ideas. For example,  Kadia came up with the last scene in the opening and...
