Titles Analysis

Titles Analysis 

Interestingly the majority of the films I chose to previously analyse did not have opening titles. One of the films that did however was Hanna. From watching the opening to the film I have noticed the following elements. 
Each title fades in and fades out of the shot that it is featured in. The selected font is white which is interesting as the background is of a similar colour. 


The titles are placed in the centre of the screen. Being placed against the barren landscape this also helps them to stand out. The way in which the titles appear in shots with no music also helps them to increase the focus on them.

Stranger Things


In stranger things the credits take a place against a black background. Surrounding it is the edges of the full title "stranger things". Stranger Things creates mystery in the titles in a different way to Hanna. The colour scheme is much darker and sinister looking however the choice of font remains white. 


In se7en the focus on titles is even greater again with regards to how sinister it is. Again we see the use of white font. The handwriting look here creates a sense of mystery and raises questions such as "who does the handwriting belong to?" The use of low key lighting provides a clear background for the titles to be read off.

Origin Music And Sound

Origin Music And Sound We plan on having an original soundtrack due to the need for it to be so specific to the film. The reason we need it to be so specific is that our soundtrack effectively is the replacement for dialogue. The music will be what conveys the atmosphere and emotion however we do not want it to over power the shots either. We have decided that a simple piano melody would be the most fitting for this as it easily conveys emotion however it will not take away from the shots. Tracks To Take inspiration From T ogether we will live forever- Clint Mansell Preludes: La colombe (The Dove)- Oliver Messiaen, Hakin Austbo In the opening shots we plan on having music to create a mysterious tone however as the intensity and drama of the shots increase we will add more dissonance and it will become increasingly atonal. To record the soundtrack we will use garage band. Due to time limitations and possible future complications that could be faced in recording we have de...

Evaluation Question 6

What have you learnt about technologies from the process of contracting this product? Gopro- To film the underwater shots, we used my GoPro Hero 1. I had previously used this for purely recreational purposes however for this project I learnt about how to use it efficiently and get the best possible shots for the film. Due to the camera not having a screen I was concerned that the shots we recorded would not be what we wanted. However I learnt that due to the fish eye lens that the camera has a very wide scope and picked up exactly what we wanted.  Final Cut Pro- Here is a screenshot of the software we used to edit. Here you can see how I positioned different sound effects to create variation in the soundtrack to make sure it the soundtrack felt natural and was not overpowering. During this shot I also learnt about transitions. I experimented with fades to add more suspense and emotion to the scene as the character walks towards it. This was done by splitting the shot in...
