Production Blog ~the importance of scenery

 

In the process of my final task, props and settings will be very important. Many of my titles will fall onto props that I use. By this, I mean from the transitions of the different names. This will be done during my editing process. For example, when the camera cuts to a box, the titles may appear inside the box as the actor opens it. This creates fun transitions that use elements of the plot. During filming, I'll take multiple clips with different items. This allows me to have options for the backgrounds. The titles I include may also match the color of the prop. During certain scenes the setting may be the sky, so an example of matching titles is a dark blue or even white font color to represent clouds. Additionally, because the sequence is 2 minutes, the dialogue can't be very long. The dialogue will contribute to the setting and tone of the film. Creating a clear dialogue is the main objective. Moreover, the settings what the audience first sees. Because of this, I don't want to incorporate too many close-up shots. This will limit the surroundings during the filming process. However, if the shots are too wide, then the titles may disappear in this "loud" setting. To deal with both of these, having a mixture will balance it. This can also be in one clip as the camera pans across the scene. It may also zoom in and out revealing more scenery as time goes on.
