Planning Blog: Title design in details

 

The opening credits and title sequence of my film will most likely be in a font called “Symbola.” My group decided on this font because we think it fits the mood of the film. Symbola has an eerie feeling to it, and it fits very well compared to other options that we looked at. Some other fonts we looked at were “Akira,” “Bebas,” “TS BOLD,” “Bodoni XT” and “Ghastly Panic.” Akira and TS BOLD were very similar as they were very wide and bold, and we liked them, but unfortunately, they don’t fit the mood of the film. Ghastly Panic was just too much and over the top for us. We would have used that maybe if we were making a horror film but it’s just too obnoxious. We are working on the title still but we have come up with “Lost in the Wind”. That is probably the title we are going to use but we may change it in the future. The film will probably begin by showing the title and then show the names of the people who need to be credited. From there we aren’t really sure where it will go. The title will probably be lowercase with no bold or Italicism. something along this style. All the titles will be directly put onto the screen and not typed. The titles will probably go away after about 2-4 seconds depending on what they are. For example, the film's name will probably be displayed for about 3-4 seconds, longer than the other titles which may be displayed for 1-2 seconds. As most of the shots will probably happen in dark lighting, most of the titles will be white. This may change though as we aren’t completely sure what is happening. We may use black or red also if plans change. When the names of people being credited are displayed, they will all be the same font size except for the name of the film title. We already have multiple ideas for how we want to embed the titles and we are figuring out which ones will and won't work.

My Final Intro Blog

Image
  Welcome back everybody to my last intro blog ever. I am Daniel Brinkworth and I go to Fort Lauderdale High School. I am so excited that I am finally in A level media studies. I can’t wait to start my final task for a level. Last year for my final task we made an opening for a movie. Now that I moved up to A level i am tasked with making a five-minute movie. I have been so excited for this project since I first heard about it in the beginning of the year. My final task in AS level really helped me to understand what I need to do for my blogs, what I need to do for my editing, and what I needed to do when it came filming. The AS level final task gave me a good idea of what was going to be asked of me for my A level final task with some new elements I will need to include. Another thing the AS level final task really helped me do was figure out time management. I know that will be really important when it comes to this final project. Although the AS level final task required just th...

Editing for My Final Task

Image
  Welcome back to my blog! Today, I'm excited to talk about the editing process for my final task. Unlike last year, where I had a lot of help from my group, this year I'm alone. Last year, Rhys from my group took charge of most of the editing, and the video turned out great. However, this time around, I don't have that luxury. So, I had to figure it out on my own and I learned some new skills in the process. First things first, I scouted out different software options for editing. Many required payment or personal information. I then stumbled upon CapCut, which turned out to be a great choice. Once I imported my clips and added them to the software, along with the opening credits I'd already prepared, I was surprised to find that my footage exceeded five minutes. Initially, this seemed overwhelming. It actually forced me to trim down unnecessary shots and focus solely on the story. With all my clips in the software, I began editing my opening scenes, embedding titles, ...

Production Blog: Planning

Image
  Welcome back to my blog. In this blog I will talk about the planning process that took place. My group mates and I worked very hard to plan out our final project. There were many steps that were involved in making our final project. One of the major things that we had to do was our storyboard. The storyboard is a scene-by-scene depiction of what we are going to film. This is very helpful when filming because we have something to go off of rather than just trying to throw it all together last minute. Another thing that was really helpful when planning was our title research because we were able to find similar movies and look at their opening scenes in order to get ideas of what we would like to do. This also helped with the storyboard because we were able to decide where to embed titles. It is very important to consider placement of where these titles should go. As a group we need to discuss and agree where each title should go. We also needed to decide where the titles will come...
