 Hello and welcome to or welcome back to my blog!!  In todays blog I will be telling you about the website that I used to research title designs for my final task. My group and I decided to research the Art of the Title website because titles are a big part of opening sequences. The website has so many different options to choose from. There's multiple genres and examples that date all the way back to 1920. Another thing I love about the website is the movies that are used as examples. I have seem many of them but this is an easy way to go back and just pay attention to the titles that are used. With this website I am able to see the tile card, the beginning title sequence, the end card, and the end credits. It is also easy to use and find different genres. I think Art of the Title will help my group and I find inspiration for our opening sequence. Especially with the combination of genres and multiple different options to choose from. 

 Hello and welcome to or welcome back to my blog! In todays blog I will be telling you about my research from the movie: I See You. A convention in the beginning of the movie I would include in my final task would be a zoon shot which transitioned to a pan. Another convention I would use is a long shot. Around the first ten minutes of the movie it was a low angle. That is something I would think about adding. A convention I enjoyed watching was a close up shot on a bike tire. Following this was an establishing/aerial shot showing a card parking at a house. In the scene where the father is trapped in the closet the dialogue was very suspenseful. I don't like the excessive use of medium close ups. I didn't really enjoy watching the extreme close ups. In the two shot I didn't like the way they were dressed.

 Hello and welcome to or welcome back to my blog! In todays blog I am going to be telling you what I learned from researching the movie: Murder Mystery. What conventions of the genre that you choose to base your final task on does this movie have? This movie uses conventions like creating a tense environment before someone gets killed. It also leaves a bunch of clues for the main character to follow before finally solving the murder. Camera angles, movements and shots that I'm noticing are tracking shots, closeups, two shots, and over the shoulder shots. There is a lot of dialogue and diegetic sound. I also see a use of darker lighting. The reveal of the murder weapon was shocking and surprising as well.  What conventions of the genre did the movie have that you liked? I liked the tracking shots and close-ups. I also liked the use of dark lighting because it helps make things suspenseful. I like the diegetic sound because it can be so many things like screams or sirens or bang...
