Genre Research: Comedy

 Hey guys! So the second genre that we chose to research was comedy. We felt that this could be a very fun genre to film, and that it would allow us to be really creative with jokes and humor. Below is all of the research we did on the genre.

Planning Blog: Title design

Image
Hey guys! So the next thing that we discussed as a group was the design for our titles. Here's what we decided on.       Four our film, all of the titles will appear on the screen in the same way. They will suddenly just appear on the screen, very fast and unexpected. The titles will leave the screen in the same way, seeming to blink out of existence. This helps to create that sense of anticipation that we want to carry throughout our opening sequence. All of our titles will also be incorporated into aspects of the setting. For example, we will place titles on top of doors, on a road, or on cabinets to make them seem flush with the environment. This makes it seem like the titles are a part of the film, and help with the cohesiveness of the embedding.       For the majority of the titles, we want them to appear on the screen from anywhere between 2-4 seconds. The length of time we allocate for each title will depend on how long the title is and the importance of the title. For examp

Filming in Wilton Manors

     Hey guys, I wanted to write to you all today to explain the filming process for our commercial.   On Monday, October 4, me and my group met together after-school to film our commercial. I had brought the camera that we needed to use as a prop. Originally, Giulia was supposed to bring the camera, but since she forgot, I wen to my Media Studies teacher and was able to borrow one. After school, we walked to our first location to film the last three scenes. I made the decision to film the scenes out of order because the second location, the arch, was closer to us than the first location, Wilton Creamery. To me, it made sense to start with the closer location and then finish at Wilton Creamery, so that we could all get ice cream once we finished.      We first walked to the arch , where I analyzed the storyboard and began to envision where I wanted the actors to stand for the scene. I had filmed all of the scenes that day and worked on positioning the actors in the scenes. For the firs

Title Research: Art of the Title Website

Image
 Hey guys! So now that we've done extensive research on our genre, we have now decided to research how the professionals embedded titles within their opening sequences. We first started with a google search and came across a multitude of different websites. However, the first website that really stood out to us was called "Art of the Title."     When we first went on the site, we immediately noticed that there were so many different opening sequences available to watch. You could choose to research a specific opening sequence, choose one from a specific designer or studio, or you could just scroll  through and watch whatever one peaked your interest. This website was very easy to navigate, which was very helpful. We decided to explore the website further and watched a few different opening sequences for ourselves. We noticed that below and to the side of the video was information about the movie as well as typed out credits. We were so happy that we found this website as
