AICE Media Studies intro blog

 When filming begun, I was already pressed for time. We had to improvise a lot from the original plan because we had less time now. I realized I made this really good and detailed plan that was going to be hard to film in so little time, so I had to adjust a few things from the original plan. First of all, my final pitch is not anything remotely close to what it was originally, because I realized doing my original plan would have been good, yet very time consuming. I explained this in previous blogs but obviously, it affects my filming as well. This impacted our time management and caused many positive benefits creativity wise. I had to think about what would be realistic to film and at the same time what would show our best effort. I like a challenge, so I did not want it to be easy, because that is boring. I also am into music, outfits, and just like having a theme and matching aesthetics. I like when there is a theme to things, it is satisfying. So after all the planning, we fin...

  While planning everything, I realized that my original idea was not realistic. I did not time everything correctly so now I was pressed for time. The original idea of having an action movie did not really appeal to me anymore because of the circumstances. Even though it sounded really fun, it would have taken a lot more work, time, and planning. This meant a new genre, luckily we researched many genres and I had a cool idea. I knew I wanted to have a theme like a decade theme, I just did not know how to make it a story. Sometimes I will have a creative block where I sit there unable to think of anything. When it finally opens up, a ton of ideas run through my head and my mind goes racing a million miles an hour. I thought maybe I could do action still, but just with three characters. Primarily, I wanted it to be a really cool action opening if I were to do one, I did not want to have it to haphazard. I kept thinking and thinking about oh how could I make it have a cool theme wher...

 When doing the titles for this project, I will make them all blend together nicely and not use too many titles. I will spread the titles out evenly depending on what is happening in each scene. When a certain character is introduced, I will put their real life name on the screen. I will put the producer and main title at the beginning, in order to mock what happens in a real movie. the music artists, and other titles. I wanted to spread the character titles out mimicking a real opening sequence.  Timing makes a huge difference. Incorrect timing could cause the consumer to be confused and distract their mind from what they are watching. As far as font goes, certain titles look tacky. When I watch movies, one of my pet peeves is a tacky font. Fonts like this look unprofessional. I want to get a cool font that looks nice and matches with the theme. Contrast is also a big thing when it comes to wording. You want your titles to pop, so it is often suggested to contrast dark, bold ...

The next opening scene I chose was "Star Wars," which is in the drama genre but it is also Sci-fi. All of the people who helped with the film's production were included in the opening scene. This includes the casting designers, make-up artists, and so on. The titles were printed in a very subtle manner on the opening scene. This was advantageous because I noticed them, but they did not divert my attention away from the background. The opening scene featured a variety of images. These images are not static, but rather move slightly. These images depict all of the planets. This makes me want to watch the entire film. The images were all in space, with yellow writing explaining them in the background. This piece of writing depicted the past. It's almost as if it's setting up the film by explaining the heinous events of the past. As the images flip from one to one, this is done extremely well. It contributes to the sci-fi atmosphere by including objects that are not c...

  During the opening scene of Rango titles displayed include, written by, directed by, produced by, produces, designers, ect. . Different animals that will play characters later in the drama are prioritized in the images. This opening sequence is one of a kind. It features minimalistic imagery and pictures. The work has rich colors and contrasts, and it appears to have been painted or sketched. Music and western vibes are two themes that appear in the video. It's almost as if we're in the 19th and 20th centuries. There is a darkness and eariness that is revealed underneath some titles, creating feelings of drama. "Amazingly, Rango's end credit sequence and opening titles were completed in just a few weeks," according to the website, "yet the project allowed for a lot of unique and innovative concepts." This opening sequence has benefited greatly from technological advancements. This is due to the fact that everything was done digitally. Fade in and...
