Final Task: Title Design


 For the opening of our film, planning the title sequence has been an essential part of our work. 

My team and I are planning for some of the opening credits of our film to have a normal contemporary font. 

We envision most of the titles to be placed on different parts of the screen (not the center).

We wanted the titles to give the audience a feeling of unpredictability, as the titles could appear anywhere on the screen. 

The fonts will be in the color white and black depending on the background.

The space between the lines will also have some place in between if necessary, so the words will be easy to see.

For example, if there are two lines, the title could look like this:

D i r e c t e d  b y  

H a n n a h  E z a m m u d e e n

We plan on making the letters of the names of the people a bit larger than their occupation.

We plan to put spaces in between each letter of the words that show up on the screen if necessary

However, when the movie title appears on the screen, it will have a more dramatic font and scary tone to it. 

By doing this, we wanted to let the audience know that, under the guise of a normal family/friendship, lies something extremely sinister. 

Most of the title sequences will be faded in and out. 

However, our team can try to embed a title into the movie setting. 

For example, with a close up of leaves on the ground that get blown away in the wind, there will be an uncovered title on the ground.

We planned for each title to be on the screen for 3-5 seconds. 

We wanted the viewers to want to expect and wait for each title, rather than them being quickly bombarded with the information as if it were the opening for a fast-paced action movie.

 The title of this film is likely to be Mother. 

Our group was also planning on naming the movie Accomplice

The title of the film will be in a much bigger and eye-capturing font.

To illustrate, the title of the film will look like this:

M O T H E R

The fonts will all be the same, except for the title.

As we edit on our software, the exact fonts will probably change, but the plan and tone will likely stay the same.

Resuming the editing process

Image
Continuing with our film, my group and I have have started editing each of our scenes. There are a total of 60 scenes. Each one of us has at least 12 scenes to edit. Even though there are a few scenes yet to be shot, we have begun to edit the scenes that are completed since there are quite a few. As for me, I have 12 scenes to edit. Beginning with the sharpening knives scene and ending with the mother making tea from the kettle. The first scene that I edited was the knives scene. This scene consisted of a close up shot of the knives indicating that the evil mother is prepping to get on with her sinister plan. Therefore, this scene has a great amount of tensión and suspense as the audience is viewing the dangerous weapon the mom is using for her plan. Which is why I made the lighting of this scene be low key lighting to créate the suspense within the scene. I also made the scene a bit in slow motion to emphasize the mother sharpening the knvies. As for sound, I inserted an eerie creepy ...

Editing process

Image
As the filming journey continues, my group and I have still not finished filming. We have about 3 scenes to film to be able to complete the movie. The scene where Emily and her friend go into the house, the scene where the mom makes Emily fall asleep with the tea, and the ending scene. As I begin my editing process, I am currently still looking over the scenes that I have to edit. I am not able to edit at this moment due to the fact that I am in a different country because of an emergency last minute trip. As I am looking over the scenes, I am writing down ideas to make the film more creative. Also, I am writing down what needs to be edited, for example, what needs to be cut out from the scene. One of my scenes is where the mom is sharpening the knvies. In my opinion, that scene needs to have a bit of low key lighting added along with creepy eerie music since those are dangerous weapons and it leaves the audience at the edge of their set. The next scene is the scene where Emily and Jan...

Filming Review

Image
 My group and I have taken a pause from filming. The last day we filmed was Tuesday, March 23. The next day we film will be the last since we have completed most of the film. To better prepare for our next filming session, I am currently reviewing my role and lines. This way, it will be easier not only for me but for my group. This will help us to not have to reshoot the scene multiple times and take more time than needed. In the scenes that are yet to be filmed, my character has many lines and the acting has to be adeuqate. The scene where Emily drinks the tea, she has to faint and act weak. Practice makes perfect so the more I practice my lines and character, the more unchallenging things will go. Also, I have been looking into the story board my group and I completed. I have crossed out or set aside the scenes we have already completed in the storyboard. I have marked the ones we haven't. Thing I noticed while at our filming sessions was that we tended to look back at the storyb...
