Title Research: Watch the Titles Website




Well to start off the website was very easy to use. As I skimmed through it, I found the site very inviting, well organized and overall appealing to the eye, with no bright colors or flashing screens. I clicked on the first movie that I saw, which was about the movie The Silence of the Lambs. I was immediately shown the video of the entire beginning sequence, saving me time from having to search it. After watching the video, I scrolled down to find images from the video with a couple paragraphs, explaining them in depth. The images had a nice description of what the audience saw but also how they felt, or what message the director was passing. The Website itself is very useful, showing quick facts and information in neatly organized boxes, making searching for common things (such as who directed the movie, for example) easy to find. This site is perfect for our research on introductions in movies. This site has all genres, including mystery. Thanks to this site, we can now analyze some common trends/styles at the beginning of mystery movies.

Genre Research: Lost Girls

Image
  In order to learn more about our genre, our group watched Lost Girls, a murder mystery movie released in 2020. This movie is a nice classic murder mystery, similar to the likes of Clue and Murder on the Orient Express. This movie is what initially drew our interest when researching mystery movies, so we are happy to see it. As we watch this movie, we hope to find elements on the genre, as well as learn a few tricks to make a good mystery. What element of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have. I n the film Lost Girls a daughter goes missing and was last seen near Oak island beach. The one element that is in this movie is not knowing who did it. We are planning on using the element of not knowing who did it in our film. Which is why we watched this film. We also plan on using the element of suspense. Which is seen multiple times in the film Lost Girls. What elements of the genre did the movie have that you like. Well for one thing we liked the fa...

Production Blog

 So today we have finishers with the editing of our video. This was a good thing for us because we are able to see our final product. Once we finished editing we looked over our video. We were looking them to see if anything was bad. We looked it over and everything seemed fine. We then were talking about what to do next. This is where we had some discussion. We had to talk about what we wanted to do next. One person wanted to relax and do nothing. One other person wanted to finish up the rest of the blogs. And I had no clue what to do. We then had an argument on what we should do it went nowhere. Then once we stopped arguing we then had to leave Marius place cause it got late. After we got home we texted each other. This text consists of us talking about what’s the next plan. We couldn’t come up with anything so we just decided to rest. This was what we all thought would be best. We would just relax. Then we would remind each other when we have blogs due. Once we would do that we ...

Title Research: 2001: A Space Odyssey

Image
  What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? - During the Opening sequence, there is, at first, nothing. Then, about 45 seconds in, we get to see the first name. That name is Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, the company who made this movie. The next name, which appears soon after, is that of Stanley Kubrick, the producer of the movie. Finally, we see the title screen. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? -In the opening sequence, the first image is an all black screen. Eventually, we see a big white circle begin to appear, and we realize that it is actually a planet. We slowly move up from the original black screen (which is actually a planet), and more unto the white circle with some light behind it. What connotations do these images carry? - These images carry an interesting connotation, as they are beautiful and gives us an image to look at, leaving the audience in awe at the images and the music especially. However, there is also the fact that these imag...
