Title Research: The Final Destination

 Hello, it's good to see you again! We viewed the Final Destination (2000) opening sequence. The Final Destination opening sequence prioritized its need for titles. For example, they included the Director, Cast, Actor + actresses, production distributor, Music credits, etc. The way these titles are displayed show the feeling of the opening sequence. By using a more "ghostly" and "scarier" font, it gives audience an idea of the overall feeling. By including these title sequences, it gives credit to those involved and those who were in the making. The images and closeups of the fan give foreshadowing to the viewers. Signifying that it does have a deeper meaning. There is also a book shown in the opening sequence, that seems to appear a lot more. Again, this foreshadowing is used to express to viewers what events might take place. The music that is played in the background, is eerie and on edge. Giving viewers a feeling of "thrill" and "horror." There is several screams that also take place, followed by the music played. These connotations make audience scared and aware. With these feelings of the audience, it adds more thrill into the movie itself. By doing so, the opening sequence gives sound, image, and titles that all affect audience’s emotion. For example, the use of fade in shots give viewers the ability to have eerie sensations. Thank you for reading! Until next time.

Production Blog- Continuation of filming

 Hello and welcome back blog. It was decided that the new filming date would be Saturday March 2nd. I work from 9-5 that day but I will be going after work to film the night scenes. The only thing I am worried about is when the school scenes are going to be filmed. Very soon, editing and putting together the film needs to begin because it does take a lot of time for this to come together and our deadline is March 15 to have the movie as well as website and postcard completely done. Carleigh is still putting together the website and it is taking a bit longer than I would like because I need the link to make the QR code for my postcard. The plan on Saturday is to film more at night around 6 for it to be dark so we will be able to film the night scenes of the grave as well as when the flashbacks in the short film occur in the dark. Carleigh said that she should be getting the website done in a couple days. Jenna is going to have to start editing the film together once we get a bunch m...

Production Blog- Drawbacks

 Hello and welcome back blog! Today was a day of learning and gaining new information on different media studies and theorists. In media today, I learned about media ecology and all the ways it can help us understand filming and how to apply it to our knowledge of media. It was very interesting to learn about and realize how much our society and media has changed over the years and how well communication has transformed things in our modern society. I also discussed with my group that because of my work schedule, it can be difficult to plan what days to film for the final task. I suggested that filming could take place on days that I do not work and everyone is not busy and going to Jenna’s house for filming after school would be a good plan. Weekends are very busy for me and it would be difficult to set an exact day to film for right now. One day next week, the plan would be to film after school but I will let you know for sure what day it is that filming is done. There were a cou...
