Short film: Titles and Research


      Titles are a main part of film. We researched the opening title scenes for drama movies. Making sure we knew the way drama films go about this will be beneficial to us. This is very important because the type of font gives off a certain mood to the viewer. We also decided to only use first names for safety purposes. The titles will be “focused” on the screen. The powerpoint also describes the length of time we will be displaying the titles. All titles will be white for a simplistic viewing. The transitions between each title will also be fitting to our story. Within each title, the names will be more prominent than their title/job. This will give the titles a sense of design. This simplistic design will fit the mood of our film and will not take away from what’s actually happening on screen. 

      Researching is very beneficial in many aspects of film. We did research for costumes and lighting and every detail like that. We also researched editing for drama films so our editing would fit that. Titles are just one example of how much thinking goes into making even just a short film. This whole experience has also shown me how collaborating comes into play. My group mates and I have put our brains together throughout the entire making of the film. This made for a really good experience because I had people to work with and bounce ideas off of. This experience has shown how a movie process goes and the things that can affect a film.
