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.

The cursive font and flower images shown carry a calming peaceful mood. This, ...
www.artofthetitle.com Title researching for my final task project has begun! The first website I decided to check out was "Art of the Titles." I first assumed this would be a website of just title scenes, but after a look around saw this website gave the full beginning sequences to hundreds of popular films. Clicking on "title sequences", a scroll through the available titles showed me the differences between different film genres. Even without knowing the plot of these films, you can distinguish genre simply from the look of the title screen. Dramas like "Leopard Skin" and "The White Lotus" had a bold simple titles, with an elegant font. Meanwhile, horror films like "Antebellum" and "Ratched" were written in a cursive font with a black background, creating an ominous overall tone.
