Planning - Title Design

 Hey blog! Today we are starting the planning process of our Final Task! 

The font we chose to use are Old Typewriter and Cold Night for Alligators from the website Dafont.com. We wanted to go for a creepy vibe so we chose these two fonts because they succumbed our expectations. Old Typewriter had a very eerie look to it which went with the theme we are trying to achieve. We loved the old look to it because modern type writing fonts look too clean so we wanted more of a messy look. Our second font was Cold Night for Alligators, despite the interesting name, it had a perfect look to it. 

The background of  the title design is black and the words are a bright red. We used a font that looks like dripping blood, hence the red color. The font size is 170 and is in all caps so it appeared to be really big on the screen. We wanted to enhance the feeling of horror and let the audience know right away that this is a horror film. 

The title of out film is Wake Up. We have had this name idea for a while because it matches with what our film will be about. I doubt it will be changed but we never know what will happen. Each title will stay on the screen for about 3 seconds, long enough for the audience to read it. They will show up as a fade in and will fade out. This is to give off a suspenseful feeling and to make the titles flow. The main titles like the film title and the name of the director will be at the end of the opening sequence because they are the most important. Both of the main titles will be one the screen at the same time. "WAKE UP" will be above "DIRECTED BY KYLIE KEENAN" in much larger font.

Creative Critical Reflection - Final Task

 1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?  Answer:       This product utilizes conventions in horror and thriller movies. We used camera angles, music, editing, and dialogue that are commonly used in movies like this. For example, this product has scenes that are close-ups which are used in horror films to show fear in characters or to show what may be happening to change the viewer's focus while watching. In this scene right here we used a close-up to show the killer show that the audience can feel how close the killer was to the main character without her knowing. Almost as a dramatic irony. When the characters don't know what may be going on but the audience does. Overall, the product was truly a thriller because of the amount of suspense it had. Each scene kept building up which is usually what horror/thriller films use. But it does challenge conventions because of costumes. In this scene h...

Music: Choosing Audios

 Hey y'all! Last addition to the editing portion of the final task! I was doing research on the music that was going to apply to the Final Task. I used many websites, but deciding to stick with what I knew would be the best, it needed to be found on YouTube. I searched for royalty free music and boy oh boy there were MANY to choose from. However, I was stuck between two sounds. One being a constant beat like a timer and the other having suspense in the sound as time went on. Although it was a tough decision to make between me and my group, my group members and I came agreed to choose the second one. The reasoning behind this choice, was simple. It fit the plot of our film and plot better. The first choice was a little to fast paced, meaning that it wouldn't have fit the video. It was also very loud, so it would be hard to both insert and hear non-diegetic sounds. On the other hand, the second one was quiet, but added that suspenseful aspect that I was looking for in the film. ...
