  We will be using the Broadway font in our opening scene as it goes with our  theme of a futuristic sci-fi look. It looks something like this. We will be  using the colors green and black with a sort of glowing effect for our titles  throughout the opening scene depending on whether the background is lighter or  darker at certain parts. This will set the mood of the beginning of the movie giving  off futuristic and mysterious vibes. The size of the font will be big enough to fill  most of the screen but not too big that it will completely cover what is going on  behind. The purpose is to show the audience who were involved in the making of  our film without drawing too much attention away from what is going on behind.  Our working title is Hide and Seek although it may change in the future. The titles  will enter and leave the screen through simple animations that also add to the  strangeness and mystery of the opening scene. Each title will be on screen for  around 3 seconds to give

  How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which   ones?   At the beginning of the opening sequence, it displays the companies that produced  the movie. It shows Warner Bros productions first. Next it displays village road show  pictures. After the production companies are shown, it then displays the name of the  movie and rolls into the film.  What connotations do the images carry? (How do they make you feel)  The images make you feel curious and give off a very futuristic vibe and feeling. They  are dark and have many numbers moving very rapidly as if a computer script is  running giving that futuristic feel.  How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset?  The title sequence uses common connotations associated with sci-fi movies.

1. How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones?   4 Titles are displayed of the movie producers to open up the film and the actual title of the film. These  titles were Columbia Pictures, Sony, and P+M Image Nation. The movie opens by introducing all of the  producing companies that were involved with the creation of this film  2. What connotations do the images carry? (how do you they make you feel)   The images give me a high-tech feel. This is because words are shown flying through space. The font of  the words also gives scientific feel. The music in the background fits well with the feel of the pictures as  well  3. How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you tell  what genre the film is)  I can tell what the genre is the way the movie is opened. It starts out with the camera flying into a galaxy  and shows the words around a ton of meteors surrounding the words. I think this gives you a very good  h

  The movie that I watched was “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” it is in the Sci-fi genre. During the opening scene, all the people who helped with the production of the movie were included. In this is the casting designers, make-up artist, etc. The way these titles were printed on the opening scene was very subtle. This was good because I saw them, but they did not take my attention away from the background. There were a few different images in the opening scene. These images are not still but slightly moving. These photos are of all planets. This entices me to want to watch the whole movie. The images were all in space and had yellow writing in the background explain. This writing showed the past. As if it is setting up the movie by explaining the devastating things that have happened in the past. This is done extremely well as the images flip from one to one. It helps establish a sci-fi feeling by including objects that are not normal to Earth. This includes extra-terrestrials, and other

        There are two sites that I will use to research title design. The first website I will be using is www.artofthetitle.com. When you first open the website it brings you to the homepage. The homepage has a search bar and some search filters in the top right. This helps you search through the thousands of pieces of content on their website. It also has a few interesting links with images that you can click on. These links then bring you to a seperate page with information. You can find title sequences very easily on this website. The title sequences are easy to digest and all the information is given to you neatly. I like this website overall. The second website I will be reviewing is www.watchthetitles.com. When you first open the page it brings you to a home page with many features like the other website. There is a drop down bar you can click with many search features. There is a search bar as long as multiple links you can click that will bring you to another page with informa

  Men in Black Common CAMS: Men in Black includes a lot of establishing shots as well as tracking shots. These shots help progress the movie by showing the surroundings and world that the movie is filmed in showing many futuristic elements.  Common CLAMPS:  In Men in Black, costumes are a big part of the movie. All the good guy's wear suits while all the aliens are generated through animation or makeup is used to make people look like aliens or not from this world. Bright flashing lights are also a quite common theme throughout the movie as it gives the futuristic feel that the movie is aiming for. Common Sounds: Most of the sounds in this movie can be heard through high tech beeping noises as well as random alien noises that are used to show that the aliens being shown are unearthly and from another planet. The beeping for example is used when the Men in Black use special devices to erase the memory of people, which gives the futuristic feel of sci-fi. Common Editing: Editing is a

  Passengers Common CAMS in the movie: Passenger includes lots of two-shots as well as over the head shot. These shots help the movie by moving it along as well as showing their surroundings. Even though at some points the image is focused on the actors, a clear glimpse of the background shows how futuristic it is. This helps appeal to the audience and create a liking for Sci-fi fans. Common CLAMPS in the movie: Uniforms in the movie stay consistent. They are long sleeved and long pants that are light grey. Grey and white 100% have future feels and help the movie add to the Sci-fi part. If a small detail like the costumes being a distinct color, I think that would not help the movie, but hinder it. Common Sound in the movie: Robot wheels are commonly heard in this film. As well as sounds you could imagine flying through space. You can tell that their setting is not a common Earth setting and is imaginary. Common Editing in the Movie The editor for the movie has had previous experience
