  This film is from the art of the title website. Titles that are displayed in the opening sequence are the title of the film, characters that are listed in the film and the warner bros company. Including the voice actors that are voicing over the characters. Images that are prioritized in the opening sequence are many different coloring that show 2 figures in each one. Connotations that these images carry are that these 2 figures could be traveling great distances all over the world. The film establishes the feeling of the genre as the opening sequence plays on you can hear action like music in the background. Strategies that were used to appeal to the audience were the editing skills that made the colors pop out as the opening sequence played on. Technology was used pretty efficiently as the opening sequence displays the many different transition skills used to make the opening sequence appeal to the audience.

Titles Research: Watch the titles Website

I am looking at this site in order to learn more about the title art. Including the different processes that are taken in order to achieve the perfect art for the title. I have seen many different movie intros and the different kinds of arts that are involved to make this happen. I've learned that it takes more than just imagination to find the perfect art theme for the movie. As each creator of the themes discussed in their interviews that they were given. The many different aspects of art and the different ways they each look at it is all totally different from each other. I also learned it takes a different aspect to create titles for many different things. Such as video games, tv shows, and even student projects. 

Title Research: Art of the Title Website

Image
  I am looking at this site to see the different types of art titles that are out there in the world. This shows me that every title of a movie is not the same. Also showing it takes a lot of time to be put in in order to find the proper art needed for the title of the movie. I've seen over 25+ different movie titles and they are all from different decades and time periods. I've learned that every art of the title has its own meaning and therefore stands for the movie. That it will be labeled upon and how each artist of the title it takes them a while to come up with these ideas. Also allowing them to discuss how they created these titles.

Genre Research: Avengers End Game

Image
 This movie consisted of all the elements that I have chosen to base my final task on it. In Avengers End Game they were on full display from the beginning of the movie to the very ending. Since this movie is about cars it already has one of the elements that I will be using. That element is chase, it used throughout the entire movie. For example, at the beginning of the movie, it shows Thanos being chased throughout the time continuum so iron man and the rest of the Avengers can defeat him. As this element is being displayed another element that I will be using is shown. Explosions are that element, as Thanos is in control of the entire universe it shows explosions of many planets once he snaps his fingers with the infinite gauntlet. Fighting is another element that is also incorporated into this movie as it goes on. An example would be when all of the Avengers are gathered to take down the Thanos army. They all begin to charge at each other giving great fight scenes as everyone i...

Genre Research: Spiderman 2

Image
 The movie spiderman 2 displays all of my elements that are to be used in the final task that I have chosen to base it off of. During spiderman 2 all aspects of an action film are displayed to the best you might ever see. The element fight is produced in a great portion of the movie. An example of this would be when spiderman is seen to be fighting sandman when he is trying to rob a money truck. Spiderman then swings in and pulls the door off the money truck where sandman has taken over. They then fight in the truck and the sandman is defeated where spider-man then saves the day and is put on the news. Another element that is used would be chases. As sandman is the scene inside of a train track spider then chases after him in his new suit. Called venom this suit grants him even stronger strength as he chases and takes down sandman into the sewer area where he then gets super soaked and is unable to continue fighting.

Genre Research: Tranformers

Image
 In Transformers, it has all the elements that I have chosen to base my final task on. In transformers the movie produces are aspects of an action film that would think of. The element fight is a major aspect used in this movie. There are many fight scenes that are used in this movie. For example when bumblebee was fighting off everyone that came and opposed his friends. Another element that was used during the making of this transformers movie was explosions. During the fight, scenes explosions were incorporated as each transformer would clash. You will notice the explosions that appear t happen when one of them is defeated. Another would be when they are clashing with one another with each hit of their first or their swords there will be sparks and explosions. I liked every single aspect of this movie and its elements. Each showed the true meaning of what an action film should consist of. Leaving me no reason to dislike any of the elements that were displayed during this film. Ea...

Genre Decision Blog

 My opening sequence will consist of the action genre. I've concluded to have the action genre because it is better suited to how I would like to have my opening sequence set up. For example, the element in action would be a fight scene. This is more preferable to me and I believe this is a way to grab the viewer's attention and make them want me to see more and more. This also allows for me to be more organized due to the fact that I have seen many movies and films of the action film genre. I have a better understanding of what is needed to be in my opening sequence. Since I will be using the action film genre in it. I will also be able to incorporate many other elements and key factors from the action film. Such as chasing into my opening scene. Since my main character will have a scene where he is being chased by the stalker to grab hold of him and his money.

There are 4 major elements involved fights, exp...

My Pitch

Image
 During this process of making a pitch for my opening sequence, I have come up with two pitches I believe would be a great fit. Pitch #1 A boy has constantly been watched for a long period of time due to all the money and wealth he has and the stalker has finally shown himself and is trying to kidnap and put the boy in the car. I'm interested in making this film because it gives off a sense of stalker that could lead to action if called for. So I went for the objective to give for a male main character because it would make sense for someone that is being stalked to be easily pursued by someone in the shadows. The amount of wealth the pursuer has seen that the boy has, has led the stalker of the boy to try and get hold of all of his wealth by kidnapping him. For the opening sequence, I would put the main character the boy in a very open location where it looks very easy to kidnap him. Id then shows the main character walking flashing money around drawing a lot of attention to himse...
