Title Sequence Clips Review

When it comes to film making there is a huge impact with the opening sequences as well as credits. “Specialist titles are becoming an integral part of every film package (Merril, 2004).” It is all about grabbing the audience attention, this is at the beginning of a movie so if they lost the audiences attention in the beginning they will lose them before the film even starts. It is very important and hard to make these opening sequences eye catching. “These sequences promise excitement that the respective films ultimately deliver on. There are of course instances when the best thing about a film is the title sequence (Merril, 2004).” In the lion king it is a very great film to show how you can make an eye-catching opening; although Disney films spend more time showing that it is made by Disney compared to the title of the film there are still many great examples that the lion king gives. For example, the Lion King films from different camera angles as the animals are all coming together there is loud music playing and credits are showing. With the animals all coming in together the camera angles are amazing… if a bird is coming in it’s like the camera is flying with it, some for when the elephants walk in the camera angle gets low and walks with them. Another great opening would be Scream; the opening sequence and credit are really fun and eye catching. The title is in bright red drippy letters making it pop out at you. The background of the opening sequence is a bunch of screaming and kinda like horror movie like music, it doesn’t allow you to take your attention off the screen because you don’t know what’s go to come next. Without the little details of the music, text color/font, as well as the camera angels of these two films I’m sure my attention would’ve fallen off.  A movie with an opening that was not as eye catching as the others would be Space Odyssey. In the opening of this movie it was just a pitch-black screen with music for 3 minutes; no credits, no title, etc. When you compare this movie to others like the Lion King it makes it seem not as interesting or eye catching.

I’m not sure if i’m leading towards selecting a film project or a magazine project. As of right now I feel like the magazine project would be easier but i’m not sure as we haven’t covered the magazines yet. The film project seems to be a ton of fun but there are so many different ways to film a project and so many options when it comes to the credits that i’m not sure what I would do, as with a magazine I feel like it would be a ton of fun to design a cover page and have my own pages to write my feature article on.

Production 2- Schedule Photo Shoots

        After planning out where I am taking the photos for my magazine cover as well as who I am using for the photos; I have begun to reach out and find a day that allows everyone to be there for the cover photograph. I have picked days that I know other sports are having practices that will allow me to come in and capture pictures to use throughout my feature article. Next week I will be going to baseball workouts, the soccer game, and the basketball game. As this is not every sport; it is just enough to show the effect of the pandemic on these sports and how they participate in the sporting activity while still being cautious of the safety of others. On January 21 st I will be meeting one person from each sport, with their uniforms and mask on as well as the assistant principals at the front of the steps of school to capture my photo for my cover page.

Post Production 1- Content Page

 After comparing Alexia’s magazine to my magazine there were still a few things I had to change to have the same similar features as hers. Our content pages were completely opposite so I decided to change mine and go with her layout. I went out to one of the baseball games to capture a photograph for my content page. I also had to correct my font size and style. I used the editing features in my camera roll on my iPhone to edit the lighting on the photograph.  One thing we both had to correct was adding page numbers to each page of our magazine. After I made these modifications to my magazine; I felt very confident in my final work.

Peer Review

          This week we spent time having everyone present their projects so everyone could give feedback; whether it was something they liked in the project or something that needed to be corrected. After Lexi and I presented our two magazines we began to receive feedback from the class. Everyone really liked how the colors, font, and theme flowed together really well. One said how they liked how we each took a different take on the magazines; different feature articles, different problems in the magazine that still all related to our overall story of sports. There are many things we need to fix in both of our magazines; for example, one made a comment towards my magazine asking if it was a cheer magazine as I didn’t realize how many cheer photos I used when I could replace them with the sports I didn’t get to add in. Ms. Gartland pointed out that we needed to be more consistent; we didn’t know how exact our magazines needed to be; with the font size, font ...
