Title Research: Watch the Titles Website

     Similar to my experience on Art of the Titles, my experience with Watch the Titles was a fun one. When opening the website my first instinct was to compare it to the website I had viewed five minutes prior. Because of that I instantly noticed a sleeker interface, which showed less information but in a cleaner way. The last website deemed cluttered compared to this one and I was very appreciative of it because it opened my eyes to a common title mistake, clutteredness. From this, I understand that when creating my titles, it is imperative that I give them the proper amount of spacing from each other and also my background. It should be a clean-cut contrast between the titles and my background. The titles should no feel like their overshadowing the background. It should feel like the titles are sharing and complementing the background. If possible move with it in the sense that they should flow at the same speed. Meaning that the pacing of my scene should either be proportional(1:1) or inversely proportional(1:-1) with the titles.

Title research: The First Purge

Image
- 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...
