AICE Media Studies - Title Research: Art of the Title/Watch the Titles




This website is a great introduction to the art behind titles. My group decided that we would use this website as one of our resources as there were a plethora of options and styles of different title sequence examples. When clicking on this website it was immediately super easy to navigate and convenient to use when looking for specific movies and or genres. With so many different examples, our understanding of how title sequences look was much improved. We learned what a title sequence most commonly includes, and the order in which the information comes out in. This will be valuable information to us as we will use it to properly format our final task. This website had some weaknesses, some of the embeds for the video wouldn't work. However, this may have been an issue with my computer or just a temporary issue on the site. Overall, this website will be super useful for our research on titles and their conventions. It will also contribute to showing us the way that the titles are shown in movies.  




 


 

This was one of the other websites that we found very appealing and will be very useful for our research. I found this website not very easy to navigate to my first viewing, as there are more sections and a different look to this website. I found some more issues with embed errors on this website that didn’t allow me to view title sequences, however, it was a less common issue. The title sequences that we were able to view helped us further understand how a title sequence should appear. I actually really enjoyed viewing this website as there were a lot more sections that separated information. Also, each section was filled with lots of useful information and examples. These sections were abnormal in comparison to what I saw on the other website, yet I feel that it is beneficial to our group as we can further research other categories. I am looking forward to going deeper into what this website can enlighten me about.  Overall, this website will be another very useful source. I can’t wait to get into using these conventions/codes to make an amazing opening sequence for my video/movie.

Creative Critical Reflection

  The commercial for my product, Gatorade, uses convention in terms of the style of commercials filmed. In most if not all Gatorade commercials, it contains someone doing something athletic or sports related such as playing a sport or working out at the gym. This is what we used to base our commercial off of. These commercials are also normally highly energetic which we used to help pick a style of music to play in the background. This commercial also highlights athletic social groups and some of the things associated with them. It shows that Gatorade helps to decrease dehydration in these athletic groups while participating in tiring activities, such as working out.  The commercial engages audiences by not only encouraging them to buy the product, but also to participate in athletic activities, which is good for you. The commercial shows that Gatorade helps stop dehydration which could encourage more people to buy the product to drink while working out or playing a sport. The commerci

Finally Filming

  Today Zane and I finally filmed the commercial and finished it. After all the hurricane delays plus another unexpected incident, he and I finally found time to film. The gym was a bit full for a little while so it wasn't as quick as expected. There were a couple people that gave recommendations but we stuck to our storyboard. I was the actor in the commercial and Zane was the director. He took 7-21 second videos of many different workouts and picked the best few to include. A few videos were excluded because of the people in the background that did not want to be filmed. Zane filmed using his iPhone instead of a professional camera. It was easier for both of us to use his phone instead of taking the time to find a real camera. He took shots from high and low angles to capture the best views. In total, it took around 30 minutes to film all that we needed. Zane looked over the videos to see what he could use for editing. He did not edit it on that same day because there was not e

Editing !!

Image
 Today Zane started the editing process. After a long wait, filming is finally complete and editing can begin. He will use Adobe Editing Software for most of the editing and maybe iMovie for the rest. The editing is really easy for him and he enjoys it so I don’t have to do much editing. I’ve tried and asked but he refuses to let me touch editing because he enjoys it. He edited the last video so it was easier for him to just do this one too. When he is done, I will get opinions from other people on what to do better next time. There were new angles in this video that I would like outside opinions on. I will ask a bunch of different people to hopefully get honest opinions. Once reviewing the finally opinions, I can finalize the video for submission. Most of the editing will be done separately because it is easier that way. I cant really help a lot either way so it’s not like Zane will need me for anything. He said he hopes to finish early so he has time to review. I will also review it
