Title Research: Art of the Title Website

      I consider myself a very creative individual but I understood that when it came down to designing a title for my opening sequence I was going to new help. Therefore, I decided to visit the title examing website, Art of the Title. I knew the website to have all of the major title sequences from major movies, tv shows, and even video games. In addition to this, this website had backgrounds and interviews with the individual designers. From when I opened the website I was in awe at everything it had to offer. There was so much and I didn't know where to begin looking for inspiration. The first thing I was to look around at everything on the opening page as I had figured that the website runners wouldn't put something on the front page of the website if it wasn't popular. I explored serval interviews, opening, and closing title sequences and from there gathered one key piece of information.  Your titles do not have to be on a black screen, so play around with the background, just make sure that your titles are visible. It was a great overall experience and I feel like I am more prepared to start designing my titles.

Title research: The First Purge

- What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? The titles displayed in the opening sequence are the studio title, the production companies, and the movie title. These are Universal, Blumhouse, Platinum Dunes, and The First Purge respectively. Like Ma, these are the only titles displayed in the opening sequence, meaning that the actors, producers, directors, etc aren't shown until the end credits. The font of the title is extremely and colored with the colors of a moving USA flag, red white, and blue.  - What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? The First Purge has a relatively long opening sequence, therefore there are many images prioritized. Going in chronological viewing order, the first image prioritized as the scar of one of the movie's antagonist. The second image is the face of another one of the movie's antagonist. The third image prioritized is unemployment rates on the news. The fourth image is the stock markets going down by large percents. ...

AICE Media Studies Production Blog: Wrapping Up

      Difficult is the word I would to describe filming anything over 10 minutes. Punishing is the word I would use to describe this project. The fact that we are in the middle of a global pandemic and are still held to the same standards as if we were not is truly sickening. This project along with many of my other Cambridge ones have been mentally and physically draining. The amount of energy needed to continuously push through this school year is completely absurd. We are students, more over children. We have lives, many of which have been on hold due to the pandemic. I cannot stress to you how many times I have contemplated the unthinkable this school year. I’ve lost almost everything, from my girlfriend in a tragic accident to my grades; I’ve even lost my hope and trust in people. I started this academic year off believing that everything in my teacher’s, school’s, district’s and even state’s power would go into making sure we received a proper education suitable for...
