Hey ya'll,
Yes, I'm back again. Don't worry I'll be done soon. This blog I will be answering the same questions about the title sequence of the film, salsa (from art of the title). In this title sequence there were 24 titles shown. The first being the company that produced the film. After there were credits given to actors, choreographers, costume designers, music producers, producers, and directors. In the images shown in this sequence the mainly prioritized theme was workers in a car garage dancing while working. The connotation of this was extremely positive and upbeat, everyone is dancing, laughing and having a good time. The way the genre is reinforced with this is everyone is constantly dancing, in everything they do, there's rhythm. The way there's an enigma is in the end we see all the workers getting yelled at but we don't know what happened, we can only imagine what actually happens. The way the appealed to a targeted audience is by using dance and happiness while working simultaneously. Technology was used well in this film because there were smooth transitions in the beginning, then there are many high and eye level angles. There are a few high angles and many tracking and over the shoulder shots so we could see what's going on.

Title Research: Nappilly Ever After
Hey ya'll,
So the first film I'm going to watch is a drama film called Nappily Ever after (Film from Art of the title). I will be answering questions given to me. In this title sequence there were 24 titles that appeared in the two minute window used. At first they gave that it was a Netflix original then they gave the production companie(s). They further began to give credits to actors, hair stylist, music directors, producers and directors. The images in the sequence are centered around hair care products because that's the theme of the movie, hair care/ styles. The genre of this film is a drama. The connotation is relatively positive, everyone included seems happy and hair is in every which way. The genre is reinforced by showing things that you would actually see in the film, using all the drama caused in the film as well. It establishes an enigma by showing the relaxer going into her hair to showing the scissors and the champagne. To ensure the film would a people to a target audience they used an animated title sequence and colorful titles. Technology was used effectively because the transitions of this were smooth all around. Because this was an animated title sequence there weren't any camera angles or movements.

Title Research: Watch the Titles website
Back again, this time with a different website. This website is watch the titles. On this website, when you open the website you see a series of films. As you go through the website, you see everything that you need to research what a title introduction should look like. You also see a series of interviews in the website. There's everything from Featured films to French Friday films. There's also a section for video games. This website does the same as the other when it comes to helping learn about how a title should be based off the type of genre being used. It shows the first two minutes of the film where all the titles are. This website as well as Art of the Title will help me learn how to create titles based on my genres.
that's all for this blog loves,

Title Research:Art of the Title website
So I'm back with another blog. So we've started our research on titles. This is one of the websites we're using. So on this website there are a number of movies but they only show the first two minutes of the film to show the different types of styles of titles according to what the film is about. There are different sections for certain types of films. There's also a section where some of the top films are, this contains all types of genres. This website also shows movies that range in years. It shows all types of title introductions, from Marvel to animated titles. It shows how all titles are different and helps give an idea of how yours should look. This website is helpful because it'll help give me an idea on how I should title my film.

genre research: let's dance
hey guys!
so this last film I watched was a very new film to me. this film had so many new characteristics that are very strong. Aside from this film being in a different language, the type of dance was slightly different as well. This film combined acrobatic dancing and hip hop and also put ballet into the mix. This really showed the versatility these actors have. In the beginning we are greeted with a voice over of Jospeh talking to his father over the phone explaining that he's leaving to follow his dream. Once he and his friends get to Paris, go to their audition where the leader of the team is very hostile when he realized there were more dancers auditioning than he wanted, so everyone was slightly hostile towards each other until the end of Joseph's audition. There's a lot of non- diegetic sound due to the amount of dancing being done. There was a lot of natural lighting as well as artificial lighting. The clothing was quite simple, causal with the occasional dressing up. The costumes fit those who were dancing in a certain style. While during a competition and an audition both of the main characters had the same flashback of them dancing together and focused on that until the end of their performance and both had gotten standing ovations for it. There was a lot of stage lighting due to mainly performing but, the studio had all natural lighting. There were many three person shots as well as two person shots. The main type of prop was a purse. There were a few high angles and low angles and in the end there was an extreme close up. There were also many establishing shots. What I like about this film is how different it was, how new. It pit me in a whole new place with a whole new perspective on how certain things needed to be filmed. To be completely honest there wasn't much that I disliked in this simply because it intrigues me and it's so new to me.
Now that's really all for tonight I promise, good night everyone.

genre research:Bring it on: worldwide cheer smack
hey guys!
So the next film is Bring it on: Worldwide Cheer Smack. Let me start off with I really love this film with my whole heart. So as the film starts we have non- diegetic sound which is music then comes in with Destiny (the Rebels cheer captain) shouting out to the crowd. During this it's all natural lighting as it's outside. During the cheer the music stops and the rebels get cheer smacked by the truth. During this the rebels are wearing crop tops with spandex shorts and the truth are wearing crop tops with back leggings. During this whole film there are inserts, jump cuts, establishing shots, POV shots, tracking shots, close up shots, two person shots, etc. There were a few high angles, a few low angles and a few eye level angles. There were also a few eye line matches through out the film. A lot of the time they wore casual clothing with minimal make up. There were a few reveals here and there, in the end there was a lot of artificial lighting due to the cheer competition that was going on. Many cheer teams performed from online due to this cheer smack being worldwide. There were no defined judges but the people watching. When it came time to reveal the winner of the competition many teams stayed in their cheer uniforms while the rebels and the truth changed into sweatpants and a jacket while standing on stage awaiting the results of who would win the world wide cheer smack. What I like about this film is how it showed that no one can live just off the same routine and their reputation forever, it shows that every now and then you have to change up somethings that you've always known and that you have to learn new things as life goes on. What I disliked about the film was in the way that Destiny had to realize what she had done and her mistake. I also disliked how long it took her to realize it when everyone she cared about was constantly telling her what she had done wrong. What I honestly liked most was how they included everyone who was watching everything that was going on. They'd jump from place to place to show peoples reactions.
Well that all for today!

Genre research: Step Sisters
Hey ya'll!
So this next film is called step sisters and it's basically about how Jahmila (the main character) teaches girls from the sorority Stigma Beta Beta how to step so that she can get a recommendation to get into Harvard Law. In the beginning we get some music along with Jahmila's original sorority performing a step combo. The shot is eye level and all of the girls are wearing dark red lipstick. They are wearing overalls with their sorority symbols across their chest with a red shirt underneath and black boots on that are made for stepping in itself. They are performing at their school. After stepping Jahmila gets a text and there is an insert so that we can see what is being said. Then there is an establishing shot showing the apartment Jahmila shares with her boyfriend. While eating with Jahmila's parents there's a wide variety of over the shoulder shots and some POV shots as well. The setting then changes to the office at the college and Jahmila's boss is wearing and suit and tie. Other than at the office, clothes are mostly casual unless they're stepping. At SBB's sorority party there are many tight dresses and tight outfits. After everything that happened at the party we see Jahmila stressing out over getting constant messages as she lays in her bed in pajamas. We see a low angle as Jahmila comes down the stairs to SBB's basement to begin practice, it then goes into as high angle so that we can see the members of the sorority already working on their stepping. They are mainly wearing athletic clothes such as sweatpants and tank tops. In the basement the natural lighting is little so it's quite dark even with the help of artificial lighting. When we see students in the court yard it's all natural lighting. Durning one of the step competitions many sororities were wearing skirts and SBB we're wearing an all pink cowgirl like outfit. There are many three person shots, mainly when Jahmila is talking to her parents. In the final competition, Thi Chi Theta, Jahmila's sorority wore coveralls. Each group had their own type of style. What I like about this film is how it teaches others that it doesn't matter who you are or what color you are everyone can share the same love. What I dislike about this film is how it starts off with stereotypes but that also develops the stories plot.
Well this is all for this blog my loves.
