Title Research: The Shining

Image
 - What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?  During the opening scene different names roll up through the screen. These names don't have clarification to what they are but the title "The Shining" appears half way. Later, in smaller font, the executive producer, screen play, and directors are shown.   - What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? The prioritized images are a panning shot of mountains, valleys, water and forests.  The camera then pans to a road and follows a mini yellow VW Beetle car.

Title Research: Watch the Titles Website

 The website ' Watch the Titles' shows the importance and hard work put into creating these opening clips. Artist Aaron Becker explains how you don't always have to match the visual effects to the language. By this, he means a title can complement a film without making it feel outcasted and plain. A title can show the abstract parts that the movie will include. This can be from frozen clips and segments displayed. By embracing the art and visualization the audience can see the color and elegance of the production. Many of the titles mimic the characters and storyline included in the film. Different edits and transitions may also be incorporated to bring in other elements.

A lot of them I remember watching but never paid as close attention to the details until now.

I wasn't familiar with transitions, cuts, angles etc.. These new techniques took a while be familiarized. To shoot the commercial I used my Cannon Rebel T6.  I am comfortable using this camera and all of the features.  I noticed that because I like photography I also enjoyed filming. Moreover, I was able to use many techniques I used when doing photography to help with lighting. Looking back something I would change is my timing. Dealing with athletics I had to work on this project more at night. The late hours meant less sunlight so I had to improvise. However, Having a clear idea and strategies did help me though throughout filming. I found that creating a storyboard allowed me to look back at my thoughts. For my commercial I used many at home props. I was able to use objects around my house such as cardstock that...
