Final Task (Production)

  For the final task we were asked to create the first two minutes to a movie. For the genre, I chose horror. I chose horror because I have researched it all year long. So I figured it would be the easiest choice. I thought this because I have learned so much about it. I also really enjoy horror movies. The name of my movie is "The Kidnapped." It is about a girl who get kidnapped by two men. Covid-19 has made it somewhat hard to film. The pandemic has also limited places we can go to film. It also has affected the safety factors that go into recording. It hasn't only made it harder to film however. It has also taken a toll on all of our mental health. A lot of us have become unmotivated. We all are ready for a break from reality. A lot of us have also been online for school this year. This has taken a toll on us because it has limited our social interaction. Covid cases are lightening. However, some parents still dont want to risk their kids catching the virus. Therefore, they make them stay home.

Since I was recording the commercial, I had my friend act as the "model" for the clothing. Since he would be wearing the clothes and shoes, he brought these items. The first scene started with my friend on a skateboard showing the back of the shoe. This was about a 3 second clip. The next scene was also a skateboard scene. However, this one showed the side of the shoe. This is also about a 3 second clip. These 2 scenes show off a specialty type of VANS shoe which has a plastic cover over the top of it acting almost as a raincoat. This scene was about 3 seconds. The next clip is my friend walking onto the curb. In this scene he is wearing all white VANS. These are some of the most popular shoes VANS sells. This scene is also about 3 seconds. The following scene is showing my friends legs hangin...

 From Watch the Titles What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? What connotations do these images carry? How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset? What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience? How has technology been used effectively? You want to consider camera angles, transitions and editing techniques. The first thing we see is the title of the movie. This is accompanied by some eerie background music. We then see the director credits. These are followed by the cast. Then the music composers. The images shown are pretty scary. You can tell that they are truly trying to frighten you.

They show a sense of scariness which adds to the genre of horror. Great introduction showing the terrifying nature of the film. Technology was ...

In this blog I had to research  https://www.artofthetitle.com/ . The website was very intriguing. You first see a title that they recommend. This could draw the viewer into wanting to browse the website. This site is very easy to navigate through. This is due to the pull down tabs at the top of the page. When a title is selected, it also shows the credits. As well as the networks you can view it with. This is a very helpful and handy website. I will definitely use this in the future.
