Title Research: Midsommar

Image
Midsommar (2019) from www.artofthetitle.com It is traditional that our fair queen shall choose… —STEV What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? During the cut segment of this opening sequence of “Midsommar” the title is actually never shown. Director Ari Aster is known for subverting genre conventions, matter of fact, film conventions in general. Knowing this, the title was likely revealed at the end of the film, wrapping up the contents of the film.  What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? In this opening sequence, only the names and credits are prioritized. No other images are shown, as just contributors to the film, that being actors, crew, and companies/institutions involved, names are displayed. This is over a plain black screen and instrumental music, maintaining focus on them with little going on outside of those words.  What connotations do these images carry? The cursive font and flower images shown carry a calming peaceful mood. This, ...

Back to CapCut!

With my last few blogs, I had the task of reshooting all my unusable footage. This proved frustrating as I had already fully edited my short sequence. So, having to go back and reshoot, then take apart my project, THEN insert those clips back in, was difficult.  As I watched the horror short sequence that I had made for my class project, I realized that it needed a lot of work. The pacing was off, and the scares weren't as effective as I had hoped. I knew that I would have to re-edit the entire sequence if I wanted to improve it. It was frustrating to have to start over, but I was determined to make it better.  I began by rearranging the order of the shots to create a more cohesive story. Next, I focused on the sound design, adding in more atmospheric sound effects to heighten the tension. I also experimented with different music tracks to find the perfect score for the sequence.

Planning Blog: Title Design

Image
After completing my main planning for the opening sequence, the plan for my filming is entirely done. Settings, props, makeup, and schedule has been figured out, which just leaves editing! In the last two previous projects that had been the most difficult aspect of production. So looking forward to this project, there are improvements that need to be made. I have learned things since then that I can apply to this project, so I’m looking forward to working on! One aspect of editing that I will focus towards in this blog is the title design. The first font I will need to find is for the actors names, casting by, music by, visual effects, costume designer, editor, production designer, director of photography, producer, executive producer, story writer, and director. While these titles come on screen, the tone of the sequence will still be light and neutral. The setting is shot during the morning hours with the sun pouring in, creating a positive seeming film. To match, the font will be li...
