Title credits-Klaudia


Our title credits will be in a medium, vintage and handwritten font. This font will suit our discrete title sequence very well. The shots will integrate very well with the title credits as the shots will have a vintage filter/ effect as well so, it all will go very well together. I will also experiment with a black & white effect and style of film shots. There will be a different title credit per shot. The titles will be on the moving images and the transitions will be quick ,however, our film title "Adeline" will appear in the same font but, bold and will stay on the shot for longer than the other title credits.


ADELINE....


TIK PRODUCTIONS...


My favourite font for the title "Adeline" is the last one as it has a horror effect and it will integrate very well with our title sequence. For the remaining of the title credits we will either use 5th one or the last one. We will experiment further with these fonts and our shots and see how they compose together.

Sound Design- Tina


 For diegetic sound we will intend to have sounds such as: crunching of leaves, footsteps, breathing, gate screeching as it opens and closes, wind, trees being blown, maybe birds and vehicles from the surroundings. We may have these as our diegetic sound choice because these are the types of sounds you are likely to hear in a horror film. These sounds will give out clues to the audience of the genre of the film.

For non diegetic sound we will have a deep drone sound to give the horror atmosphere and build tension. We are going to make some sound tracks of sound effects that will build up the tension. Such as ghost whispers. Here is an example of a soundtrack with sound effects and melodies that I have experimented with...



I've been influenced by a couple of title sequences, they are  "Scream" ,



In scream, i really like the way the sound changes with the different image we see. for example when the doll is shown we are hearing a drone that is deep and suddenly we see a crazy woman on the floor being possessed and we get a scream sound effect to match with it. it really makes us jump and it builds the tension and atmosphere. We are looking to re create something like scream, but very different as well

Final idea brainstorm- Ilona


"Collateral" film remake evaluation

"Collateral" film remake evaluation

As group 24, we choose the scene from "Collateral" to remake. We focused a lot on the camera angles as they play an important part in the scene and also to make the remake very similar to the film. We mainly used the over the shoulder, two shot, long shot, close up, medium close up. In the film the lighting is quite bright so we tried to impressionate that with using natural lighting as the room we filmed in had many windows and also we switched on all the lights in the room.  The props we used were sunglasses and a suitcases. The suitcases play an important part in the "Collateral" film scene so we made sure we had them in our remake. As for the sunglasses, one of the characters wears them. For mise en scene we used a room with a large space to impressionate the train station in the film. The only thing that we were missing was a crowd. When we edited we referred a lot to the film scene because we wanted to get similar cuts in our remake.

BFI Statistical Yearbook

The importance of sound in film

            Sound is used in film to establish tone , atmosphere and to help give the audience clues about the plot , characters or to identify the genre of the film. It is also used to help suspend disbelief to create realism for the viewers and heighten their experience of the film .

George Lukas  , director of the Star Wars franchise , argues that sound is 50%. In other words without sound you would only get half the good experience of the film , which I agree with because from my analysis I have concluded that sound creates atmosphere and sets the tone but also gives clues. With sound the movie seems much more realistic.

Key words

  • sound - a sound or noise which is produced by continuous and regular vibrations. 
  • soundscape - a piece of music which is made up of many aspects of sound 
  • sound design - it is the process of specifying , manipulating or generating audio elements.

Diegetic and Non Diegetic sound and what difference it makes .

HEAD ON INDIVIDUAL WORK

Blogging health check-1

  

This is the feedback I have received from my teacher Mary. It provides me with targets to improve and work on in order to improve my grade. I will take these improvement targets and work on them.

Improvements:
- Catching up on work.
- Developing my posts.
- Make my titles more clear.
- Use a greater range of ICT.
- Aim to post 3/4 times weekly.
- Be more detailed.

This will benefit me and increase my grade as then none of my blogs are missing so, everything is in in order and easy to follow. My blogs will then be detailed and have sufficient amounts of information. If I use a wider range of ICT, it will make my blog posts more interesting as I'm using different forms of presenting them. If I set the goal of posting 3/4 times weekly, I will stay on track and not be behind on blogs as I wont't be leaving all of them till last minute and rushing them resulting in them not being detailed. By improving my titles, it will be clear about what my blog is, making my bogs easier to navigate and understand.

Analysis of sound and sound layering in title sequences


Sound keywords


Why is sound so important in a film?

Sound gives a film tone, atmosphere and gives the audience ideas about the plot, characters or the type of genre the film is. Sound is the 50% in a film. Contemporary sound director's in films make sound 3 dimensional to give the audience a visceral experience.

Sound: A sound/noise which is produced by continuous and regular vibrations.
Soundscape: A piece of music considered in terms of its component sounds.
Sound design: The process of specifying, acquiring, manipulating or generating audio elements.
'Suspending disbelief': Moving the audience from the real world into the world of the film.

The importance of sound:

  • Helps more to understands of what is going on.
  • Helps to make the usual image more engaging.
  • Helps suspend disbelief.
  • Helps to establish tone + atmosphere.
  • Helps to indicate the genre of the film.
