Title Research: Art of the Title and Watch the Titles Websites

Image
     I started my research with brief and general searches to hopefully lead me down a more informative path, to hopefully "strike gold," as they say. I started by searching how to research title sequences and came across a multitude of websites, though none seemed like they had enough information to support the amount of research needed to be done. This was until I came across two websites called Art of the Title and Watch the Titles. We are researching these websites because they provide easy access to hundreds of title sequences where we can note and research the elements of font, contrast, size, how the words are moved and where they are placed, and the duration for which they are shown. These websites are highly organized, making it extremely easy to navigate to where we need to go for effective research, without any time wasted searching through all the title sequences it has to offer to find one that is our own genre. We are further researching to understand t...

Production Blog: Difficulties With Startup

Image
      It's the start of a brand new project, which means it's the start of brand new challenges. My group and I had finished with our planning for the opening sequence which we felt confident in. We had all contributed to writing the research we needed for our title design, genre research, and scheduling and backups. After we completed the storyboard, we had planned to start filming that following week so as to now waste time. We all learned this less collectively in our music video, so we were eager to get a head start. Despite our ambitions, the universe ultimately had other plans for us.     That week, members of my group were consistently down for the count with illness. I had a feeling this would happen since I noticed starting the week we completed our storyboard that something was going around at school. For me specifically, I had the unfortunate luck of getting sick almost right as another member would get healthy again. What was even worse was that I ha...

Editing Blog: Taunting Titles, Text, Transitions, and Entrancing Effects

Image
Welcome one, welcome all, to the last session of editing! For this session, I worked on the titles, transitions, filters, and other minute details.  To pick up where I left off, I thought about what best place to start other than the beginning. To prepare for my endeavor, I pulled out a sheet of paper and wrote down the order in which the titles appear in the film industry, and next to it who belonged to what title. This way, I could keep track of who goes with what and stay in the correct order.  I began with the “Studios Presents” title, which I wanted to have floating around in the pool as our first title. For this title, we all agreed on the name R.P.M.M. Studios, which were our initials in no specific order, just the way that sounded best. I tried to make the words float around using keyframes, but I was not a fan of how they were moving. It looked too fake and stiff, which is usually the effect of using keyframes to try to stop motion edit something.  I tried ...
