 Font(s): Honest Fetching Typer Contrast: The words will be saturated red and and big in size in order to be the most visible Working Title: Me, Myself & I  Best Friends Impulsive Thoughts I'm leaning towards the first option, it feels more theatrical.  What I'm thinking is these words will bleed in and bleed out in no more than than 5 second intervals. Another option  would have the word typed in for every new shot.

 Location: For filming i will be using my house and my back yard. Participants: Actors: Mya Julien Filming: Mya Julien Editing: Mya Julien Directing: Mya Julien Health & Safety: Ensuring my safety, my parents will be supervising my handling of sharp objects. They will be having access to 911 and first aid material.  For the scenes containing any blood will be fake, it would be made out of red dye and corny syrup.   For the scene where there will be injury with knife- it will be done with a fake knife, with parent supervision Backup Plan: If I couldn't make the fake blood I  would just use red dye that ii have available. If I suddenly lose permission to hand a sharp object i would just angle and censor any scene with it.  Schedule: First week of filming.  Main goal is to film shots without blood in them, doing this to preserve props for as long as possible (dye would stain them). Instead, film the first scene, most of the second scene and the parts of the third scene.  Second we

Hands reach out and touch the screen in a monochromatic color pallete. We see a glimpse of a tunnel, a violen being mishandled. X-ray shots, photogrpahs, text and equation that hint at a mystery or give clues to the plot.The camera cuts to a plane with redlights flashing, a clear reference of the title. How does the opening sequence capture the mood of a thriller? Immeditaly, a tense climax is played and is quickly silenced, scaring the viewers, it constantly flunctates this point as the opening sequence continues. The titles, flicker in  and out, not standstill across the screen as the images behind it move and flicker, with the camera. The letters follow suit, some being vasilty disproportio

We are immediatly placed in a crime scene. This is seen through police officers, guns, and dark clothing shown. The sequence utitlizes the building, walls, pipes, and cars (generally small snapshots of LA) to place their titles. How does the opening sequence capture the mood of a thriller? The vibes are set by color tone. The city is black and white, while the sky is red, this contrast gives a unsettling and bloody feeling. For every title, the camera pans slowly, while the police officers/ people remained frozen in time. In the beginning, there is a slow risinng noise of police cars, helicopter wings, and a slow high note that cr

Produced By Written By Directed By What images are prioritized in the opening Sequence? The opening sequence priotizes the over-view of a active city but mostly focusing on buildings with multiple rooms. This may reference that the world goes on, even when soemone is stuck in a one place. How does the film establish the mood of a thriller? The opening sequence goal is to establish the feeling of anxiety. This film was created during the time close after 9/11, a devasting terriost attack, the film show used this timing to help create a tense atmostpohere of home invasion. The titles are realistic to the background, making them feel part of the envirmoent, and when moved as time goes on , the message is that space is fluid and easilyt manipulated, creating sense of anxiety. Of course this is paried w

Watch The Titles is a aesthetically pleasing website that I find easy to navigate. Once you click the site, you can get a insight of  movie creators, book publishers, and other creators feelings of the movie design. Using the interviews can hep  someone capture the feeling of a particular genre and the work that goes into it. Additionally its immensely helpful to see a section dedicated to student projects. Here, you can see student samples of  their own unique title design. This helps creates inspiration for my own title genre. If you clicked one of the designs, there would be a summary explaining the choices, decisions and thought process that went into the title making, immensely helpful for someone like me. In Art of the Titles, provides a generous amount of examples . The first thing I see once I click that option  is a list shows, movies, and cartoon titles. This site is literally its own oasis. If I wanted to find a certain designer's or studio's to get inspiration from
