Title Design Research Websites: Setting Things Up!

WATCH THE TITLE:

  When researching on Google for title designs, I found this website that provides me with a multitude of options. Launched in 2006, Watch the Title offers a straightforward, uncomplicated way to find the titles you seek. They provide categories separated into, Feature Films, TV Shows, Event Titles, Student Projects, Video Games, and French Fridays, which make this easy to navigate. They hold over 200 title sequences and behind-the-scenes content, providing many options. I am researching ways to make our title sequence, as I don't have a clear image of what I want to do. By using this website, I will be able to see a variety of different styles from both films and tv shows to see what fits my idea for the movie. What I love about this website is the fact it has a list of designers who made the title sequences. This gives credit to those who put in the work to design it, and if I enjoy their style I can view their other works. Furthermore, they do something similar when searching for specific title sequences, it shows both the designer and the studio which produced it which, again, allows me to view their other works. Overall, this website is structured so it's easy for anyone to use and will aid us well in the research of these titles.



ART OF THE TITLE:

         When looking for more title sequences, I stumbled upon Art of the Title. Art of the Title also provides a simple way to view these titles. As I stated earlier, am researching the best way to set up my title sequence. One thing I think Art of the Title does better than Watch the Title is that it provides an extensive list of designers. There is an entire page dedicated to each designer, with an easy-to-navigate list of the designers featuring pictures of them. When you click on these pictures, you will find a brief description of the designer themselves and their work. This provides me with a detailed list of who did what, so if I like a designer's style, I can easily view their other works to gain more inspiration.  The one thing Art of the Title doesn't do which Watch the Title does is provide a filter for films, shows, etc. However, I don't think this will set me back much as a simple Google Search will solve this issue. Overall, Art of the Title will be a valuable source to view and gain inspiration from their wide variety of title sequences.

Group Introduction: My Group Mates

Image
 Hello there again! I am in a group with three others, Kaylie E, Sarah R, and Sara S. I am very excited about this group. Usually, I am more reserved when it comes to group projects and prefer to work by myself, but I decided to take a chance on this.       Sarah R is someone I know to be especially dependable and hard-working. She is very good about not letting others do her work for her. However, media is not her strongest point, so I am not sure what her role will be once we start. Most likely she will take on a leadership role because of the group, she is the best at staying on task and keeping up with deadlines. Additionally, she watches a lot of TV which in its own way is an introduction to media. I have many classes with her and we have common interests which will make her enjoyable to work with during the project.       Kaylie E will definitely be an asset. Her knowledge of media is already vast, and she is very artistic. She already ...

 By Emma T, Kaylie E, Sara S, and Sara R Howdy! I hope you're doing well today! Scene 1: The first scene is a medium close-up at eye level and will begin against a white wall. The actor will wear a white shirt and jeans without any obvious make-up. We chose to use neutral lighting to convey the blandness of the shot. They will use body language to convey boredom using a yawn, a sigh, etc whichever is the most convincing acting.  This scene does not include our pro duct because the introduction of the product builds excitement later.  Scene 2: This is where the product will be introduced. The setting, costumes, and actor remain the same in this scene. We will introduce our prop, a box of Dunkin’ Donuts with a focus of brighter light on the doughnuts, but the lighting still remains relatively neutral. This pans to follow the actor’s arm as they grab a doughnut. The entire section is a close-up at a high angle to show the most appealing view of the doughnuts. This serv...

Production: If You Like Piña Coladas...

Image
  Hi! I’m Back Again! I was not directly involved in the editing process. As I had played a major part in planning the commercial and filming it, we agreed that another member (Sara) would edit. She also had the most experience, making her the most qualified. However, I did indirectly help with choices playing into our rough draft.  On the day of filming, Sara and I discussed music choices, and we agreed to the Piña Colada Song by Rupert Holmes. We chose this because it has a tropical and fun vibe that we thought really fit the commercial. For the classical music, we had agreed to use it, but the exact song chosen by Sara was Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 15. We chose classical music because it is generally considered “boring” to younger generations which is often Dunkin’s target group. This was about all the input I had before seeing the rough draft of our commercial.  One of the greatest things Sara changed while editing was the lighting. She made the later scenes wi...
