title design research: thriller

-


We researched the movie The Invisible Man (2020) using the website www.artofthetitle.com 

How Many Titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which Ones?

There are 5 titles displayed in the opening sequence and they were all of the production companies.

What connotations do the images carry?

There are negative and scary connotations in this opening sequence. The first part is in a strangely lit room with a creepy looking girl, and the second part is from the ocean. It is dark and there is water splashing on rocks. This creates the suspenseful feeling.

How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset?

The genre is reinforced through the eerie lighting, spooky character and the lack of sounds, all you can hear is the splashing of the waves. There is also a flickering lightbulb, which is often a symbol in thriller movies.

What conventions are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience 

The lighting captivates the audience because of the spookiness of it, making the audience want to continue to watch it. There is a long shot used to set the scene of the dark water which also creates mystery to the audience.

Critical Reflection

  “Time For Dinner” the short film portrays imagination through a young child's eyes. Toys may just look like plastic things with no life to them to us now, but we did not always think that way. Adults once too would sit for hours at a time playing with those ‘plastic things’. Somehow, our brain was able to create a whole new world with characters we created, and sometimes we would forget the real world for a second. It seems as though no one truly recognizes or appreciates imagination, and that is exactly what I wanted to show with this short film.  My movie represents children's imagination and how things children see in everyday life can affect their mind. Society has become a scary world to live in and sometimes it is hard to shield the young generation from it. A parent could innocently be watching the news and a storyline of a dangerous crime can come on while their child is near. This new concept of crimes like theft, killing, and other things can cause a child to thi...

  CAMS:  There is no music video for our song choice, Are we still friends by Tyler The Creator, so we looked at his othe songs to do our research. We noticed a lot of usage of tracking shots. A character would be seen traveling from place to place. Also, the camera would pan across the landscape to show establishing shots a lot. There are also a lot of close ups and POV shots.  CLAMPS: The costumes are regular attire for the most part, nothing exactly special. Lighting depends on the scene, but a lot of his videos have an outside setting . As far as acting, we can see real emotion in all of the actors' facial expressions. The music is obviously the song in the background. Props used a lot were phones, food, and cars. The setting was generally outside, with a lot of nature, or inside with low depressing lighting because most of his songs are on the sad side.  SOUND: The sound is the song in the background, there are a decent amount of beat drops in Tyler The Creator'...

      For my group project some may say I got lucky. I get to work with my three other friends. This may not seem like the best idea but i know they are smart hardworking individuals. I will start with myself and my task in this project. I said in my intro that I have some talent in the artistry department so that will be my job. For the story board it is important that is is easy to understand with well drawn pictures.      S econd we have Mila, I met mila last year and which is surprising because of everything with COVID. she has a very intelligent mind and a good creative eye. this means she is our editor. When we need something taken out, special effects, sound effects etc we've got our handy dandy mila.                                                                ...
