  Below are the details of our location, participants, health and schedule in regards to filming. Location:  The first location we will be filming in is someone's house. Since we need somewhere to park the car we will be using later, we will film this bit at Alexandra's house. We decided on this location by first discussing the distances all of our group members live from the school. Three out of four of us live far from the school but all in opposite directions. Alexandra, who lives closest to the school, had the primary location for filming. After checking that she would be able to film at her house and is comfortable with this, we decided on this location.  The next location we will be filming at is a gas station near Alexandra's house. Since we will be in areas she is familiar with, she will show us the nearest gas station to her house.  The final location we will need to film in is a park. To give the film an adventurous road trip feeling, we need nature to surr...

  Font/ Color- Bubbly girly, vintage vibe with a dark color and a shadow Our reasoning for this unique choice is that we want the audience to come along with us. They should truly believe that the premise of the movie is a friend group going on a fun trip. Yet to still match the fact that it is a thriller movie, we want subtle clues that hint at an ominous tone.  Size-We will have the main title take up the most space, roles be medium sized, and names/ others be small. We want the size of our title to represent its importance. If all the titles are the same, nothing will have emphasis. The main title of our movie will obviously be the largest because it is the most important. The rest of the credits will be divided into medium sized with small under it. For example, our role will be medium and our name under it will be smaller.  Working title- The Bucket List Transition- In order to continue the trend of adding subtle onimosity, we want the title to slowly fade in and out...

  After the holidays I am ready to begin researching for our final task again. This time around we needed to identify websites to research titles on. A quick look on google provided an overwhelming amount of links for all sorts of websites. Some websites were good, some websites were bad. Art of The Titles was the first website I came across that looked promising. Instead of just another article or film discussion forum rambling on and on about how much they liked the titles, this website lets you watch the clip of movies with the titles in them. Since this website is dedicated to the title design alone, it houses examples that have artistic and well thought out title placements.  The next website I came across on my search to find one more so we can have all the title research we could possibly need, I found Watch The Titles. After Art of The Titles, I knew we wanted a more interactive website so that we can actually see examples of well done title art and not just hear about...

  As we are in the early stages of the final task, I decided to research opening sequences of three movies of our chosen genre. Having a better idea of the thriller genre by observing some will definitely enhance the final task. The opening sequence was from the movie Gone Girl. What titles and images are displayed/prioritized during the opening sequences? At the beginning of "Gone Girl," the credits appear to be part of a scene, showing the back of  Nick Dunne's (Ben Afleck) head while he caresses his wife Amy's (Rosamund Pike) hair. The camera specifically focuses on this private moment and guides the screen's presentation of the credits. This “nice moment” paints an idyllic picture of a happily married couple who live seemingly perfect lives. This facade of a normal superman maragive and life sets the rest of the movie for a thriller direction. After showing Amy and Ben’s relationship, their tranquil neighborhood is shown. How does the film establish a feeling ...
