Title Research: Websites

Hi, it's nice to see you again! We had to do some research on websites to figure out what website would give us the most information on title sequences. Most websites didn't have the information that was needed. Within some of the websites the videos were blurry or lagging. The best two websites that we found were artofthetitle.com and watchthetitle.com. Artofthetitle.com has a wide variety of titles. The titles from a wide range of years. Some can even be dated back to the 1940s. There's even categories for the studios and designers. For some of the featured film and tv shows there's articles linked to them. The articles discuss the making of the titles and how're they're chosen. Watchthetitle.com has an explanation for almost all of the titles that are featured within the website. The explanation and articles give a deeper understanding to the titles and the reasons they’re on scene. Even the sequencing of the titles is explained. On watchthetitle.com the categories are even more in depth. There’s interviews on the producers on certain films. The categories are Feature film, Television Show, Student Project, Event Titles and French Fridays. French Fridays is for French cinema between the 1950s and 1980s. It’s a cool category to feature. You can even admit your own titles to this website. There’s also an option to suggest titles that should be featured in the website. It’s a very interactive site, that clearly caters to its audience. Can’t wait to see you again!

Short Film Research: Party to Murder

The mystery short film I watched was Party to Murder by Strobie Studios. The actors gathered together at this old style mansion to play a game of murder mystery while at a masked party. Will they play a harmless game or is the reality of death knocking on their front door? The director included a plot twist which is what ultimately made the short film a good watch. At the beginning of the film the director used upbeat music and close up angles of a couple dressed in fancy attire. The upbeat music explained the mood of the couple, as they were laughing and excited for their upcoming party. However as the car approached the home the music took a turn for the dark. The music began to speed up and the musical notes selection became very ominous. A big tactic used in mysteries especially murder mysteries in plot twists. Plot twists leave the audience highly surprised making it the best way to recapture a viewer's attention. Nobody wants to sit through a movie where every scene is easi...

My Critical Reflection

Critical Reflection Link Critical Reflection A level Media Studies How do your products represent social groups or issues? My short film, Shattered Bonds, represents the major issue of mental health struggles that follow being left out in relationships and friendships, that so many people suffer from in the real world. The film highlights the idea that when you feel a sense of hurt in a relationship/friendship it can cause a mental trigger for coping mechanisms such as violence or self harm. Shattered bonds brings awareness to this through the plot. Throughout the film, there are scenes showing one of the teenage girls being left out of the group and feeling a sense of hurt in the fact that nobody is including her in their conversation or activities. These feelings of hurt then revolve into resentment in the film as they do in the real world. These feelings can lead to violence against others as well as self harm. In the film, the girl being left out resorts to killing the girl t...
