Title Sequence Clips

         My initial impressions of the impact of the opening sequences of films on how they develop the interest of the audience was I had mixed feelings. Some of the opening scenes music and lettering did not match the theme or plot of the movie. For example, in Dazed and Confused there was softer introduction music and letters for a movie about drugs. I would have thought the music would have been more intense. However, this could be foreshadowing in the sense that it could be a less action packed movie. But some of the opening clips such as the one from Rise of War Dogs had more upbeat, hype and intense music and the viewers could foreshadow this is going to be an action packed, interesting and eventful movie. This is also because in the opening scene there was a group of guys that were clearly friends or knew each other, walking in slow motion with the intense music in the background.

     These opening scenes also help the understanding of the characters and the plot with the lettering and music but also the initial information they give about the character or actions that let the viewers use context clues to gather the information about the characters. A good example is in the opening scene of What About Bob? In the opening scene there was consistent lettering, instrumental music and a softer approach compared to some of the other opening scenes. Within the first few seconds you can tell the man is a little odd and then soon realize that he is a germaphobe. My current position on selecting as my portfolio project based upon class viewings and discussions is, I like studying film and its enjoyable. I never thought of how the lettering and background music has so much to do with the movie and how little details can mean so much. When you pay attention, you realize how much thought the producers and filmmakers have to put into every film to make it good quality and viewers.

Storyboarding

Image
       Creating my storyboard was an interesting experience. There were ups and downs  and  many emotions  during this process of storyboarding. Something that was challenging was trying to think about how we  must  take t he pictures of the athlete's and changing our outline because the idea we had befor e  would not work with  Lanie and I’s  lives and schedule's because we would have to travel and we wanted to make something good that wouldn’t cause us an insane amount if stress.  We were going to do women ’ s  major league sports but once we found out we had to take the pictures and interview the women ourselves we realized th a t was not an optio n  in our position. T h is is because Lanie and I are  both student athletes ourselves, so we are very busy. We decided to do the sports we play at Sarasota because it is interesting and easily accessible but still a good topic. We enjoye d  thinking of the...

Post Production 1- Editing

      T he next step in the production process is editing my InDesign project. There  were  a  few things  I needed to fix , especially with my text  and some other areas that needed to be adjusted  to fit my peers and my feedback . To start, I changed my text to  the  Impact  font  to make it look  sportier  and give the readers that sort of feel as they see my pr oject. Another thing I changed was outlining all my text titles on  all  the pages and the Title page  in black  especially because in my peer review, they said  it was a little hard to see because the text was  white,  and the cover picture was a little bright.  So now the titles are still white but outlined in black.  Going along with the text, I made it  bigger because there was empty space that needed a little more filling.  I kept the red lettering for the subtitles and the title for the ...
