Styling our title and credits

The title of the film, as well as the names of the co-directors, are displayed at the end of our intro
 
    Sometimes, the styling of a title of a film is so well known it can continue to act as a symbol for years afterwards (for example the Harry Potter series or the Godfather). As for our title, though, we decided to keep it simple. The font we used is Eras Bold ITC, and we colored it in yellow (with a brown outline) in order to make it stand out from the surroundings. We displayed it in the sky at the very end as well in order for the viewer to fully understand what our film is about. We also named ourselves co-directors, all having a pretty equal role in the creation of the idea and project, and all having added in our visions for what our final film would look like.

    Our credits to our five starring actors (Aldana, Bloomfield, Guerrero, Jimenez, and Montserrate) followed the same pattern, while being noticeable, not distracting to the events being shown on screen. We used the font Verdana in bold, in white text with black outlines, in order to keep it simple yet effective. The names of each character flash on the screen for a few seconds as they all enter the car.

    You can see what it turned out to look like below:

Videos

A few days back, we were made to create five different shots for our class with a partner, each using a different camera angle. Here is my work:      Video #1 - Introductory Scene - This shot shows the campus before stopping and zooming in on a tree, which the audience will ideally view as being the most integral part of the story. It's introductory because it shows the setting of the rest of the movie and introduces key items. This shot was created by simply rotating the camera and then using the zoom function on it, zoning in on the tree. Our goal of making an introductory scene was probably achieved.      Video #2 - High Shot - This shot displays Arturo (my partner) from a high vantage point below the viewer. In the video, he picks up a stick and slowly points it upward, towards the camera. The way this was recorded was by me standing on a bench and rotating the camera angle down at Arturo, then slowly tilting it upward during the course of the filming i...

CCR - Creative Critical Reflection

This is my Creative Critical Reflection (Length 11:44): NOTE: THERE IS AN ERROR AT 2:03 - I say "DIEGETIC SOUND" when I mean to say "NON-DIEGETIC SOUND". Summary: Overall, it was a great experience working on this project. The film overall is a horror / adventure film about someone who "loses" some of his friends while driving without any explanation or reason. This causes him to have a mental breakdown, serving as the intro to our movie "Search", which will presumably be about the driver searching for his friends. Analyzation: 1st scene: Color is utilized to symbolize future and foreshadowing; Non-diegetic Sound is not used to keep tone neutral 2nd scene: Could potentially be improved; we did not give anyone dialogue to use Transition from 2nd to 3rd scene: Could potentially be improved; There is a problem in that some viewers may think a significant amount of time is passing between the two scenes. 3rd scene: Moment of shock for driver; area in...
