Title Research: Terrified

Image
During the opening sequence of this film, you see what almost looks like dark houses. This then leads into a graveyard. Where it looks like someone is in the ground awake. As what seems to be a dark figure walked over him. The man looks like he's tied up in the ground with dirt. As the water begins to fill up he's struggling. The camera then transitions onto a man sitting in a rocking chair outside. Looking at the dark figure hovering over the man in a ski mask. As the man in the ground looks up to the man with a ski mask on and says in fear "Who? Why?.'" The man with the ski mask says nothing besides "you know me, Joey." Assuming that the man getting buried alive name's is Joey. Joey then repeatedly screams out what I believe is the man with the ski mask on "LANCE LANCE." The scene then cuts into a fading picture of Joey's eye. Transitioning into the company that distributed the film "Crown International Pictures." The Crown

Title Research: Watch the Titles Websites

The Watch the Titles Websites is the two out of two websites that I will be using for my title research. The website was launched in 2006. And just like Art of the Titles, their website is dedicated to help and highlight the designs of the title. Which basically breaks down how and why a specific title was created. Their websites hold over 200 title sequences to explore from. They have designers that are dedicated worldwide. Unlike the Art of the Title, this website has a section titles "student projects." Under this title, they showcase some of the work that their students have produced. Almost honoring or showing off on how their website has helped other students. So I believe I may gravitate to this website more.  URL - https://www.watchthetitles.com

Title Decision: Art of the Title Website

The Art of the Title Website is one of the two websites I will be using for my titles research blogs. Ian Albinson is the founder of the website. Which he launched in 2007. Then a year later he was able to get his head writer Alexander Ulloa  The website was created to help and highlight the designs of the title. Which basically breaks down how and why a specific title was created. The website has a search engine where you can type a genre. Then films of that genre titles will pop up. I would the website is very user-friendly. And I can't wait to begin my research there.  URL - https://www.artofthetitle.com

Genre Research: Fantasy Island

Image
I have chosen three movies to begin researching. Each film is under the genre Horror. This is the genre I have decided to do my own film on. To begin with, The film Fantasy Island was published on February 14,2020. Which is consequently Valentine's day. This film was directed by Jeff Wadlow. Jeff Wadlow has directed other horror films such as Truth or Dare and Cry_Wolf. The movie is basically about a game show. Where contestants come into a "reality" where they live life in fantasy. But there is a trick to it. This is all given to them by the host who is played by Michale Pena. Michale Pena is seen in other horror films such as Love Object. There are a few elements that attract me to this move. Such as the jump scare. Through the movie, there is a lot of sudden actions and movements. Another thing I like about this film is the mysteries the contestants have to solve. During the day they get to live their best lives but at night they are given the task to solve the island&

The film is about children particularly seven that were by the clown. Who soon realized that every day on a particular day the clown did this to other kids. I like the fear that this movie hold in it. As there are many jump scares and sudden pop-ups. Something that I do not like about this movie is the way they ended it. The movie has won two Golden awards. The

Genre Decision

TODAY IS THE DAY! After a long consideration, I have chosen to do the genre Horror. I've asked family and friends to help me decide upon a genre. They each asked me to explain all the genres I could choose from. Then they would decide which one I sounded more comfortable explaining. After, I was finished each family and friend said that I sounded like I really knew. Almost, word for word what I was talking about in Horror. Before heading into this assignment I felt that I was going to do Horror anyways. So to hear other people tell me I sound the most comfortable with it. Made it even easier to select Horror as my genre. I'm glad that I've chosen horror as my genre as it's one of my favorite films to watch. As I stated in my PowerPoint. I like suspense that it makes you feel watching in the audience. This suspense goes into another thing I like about Horror films and that is being on the edge of my seat. The suspense makes you wanna know what's gonna happen next. Wh
