Title Research: Little Women


                                                                        Art of the Title

 1. What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?

    The production company titles are shown. Such as Columbia pictures and Di Novi pictures. Next, the creator Gilliam Armstrong. After that they present the lead actress: Winona Ryder. The main tittle “ Little Women” is shown. Directly after the rest of the actors and actress are presented based on importance. The casting team is presented and then music by. Costume designs, co producer, director  of photography, novel author, and screenplay. Lastly, produced by and directed by.

2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?

Images such as trees and snow are prioritized in the opening sequence. A blue aesthetic is used for each slide.

3.What connotations do these images carry?

These images carry a sense of peace. It makes you think the beginning of the film takes place in a small calm town.

4. How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?

Almost classical type music is used which sets a nice mood. The strumming of the instruments do seems to pick up towards the middle which an be a seen as a parent to a drama film. Being that there is a beginning, ridding action, climax, and a falling action. Just like the sound.

5. What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?

Strategies such as simplicity and theme is used to appeal. They make sure to keep each shot simple and according to the theme. Such as blue and black. The font is not too fancy but is big enough to be seen. 

6. How has technology been used effectively? You want to consider camera angles, transitions, and editing techniques 

With each tittles a fade in/fade out transition is used. Keeping each picture the same but switching out the tittle.  The editing in simplistic using only a hand full of  background pictures and transitions. The fade outs happen gradually allowing enough time for people to see them.

Production Blog- Second day of fliming

Image
     My group and I began day two of filming today. We had intended on filming the vehicle and car crash scenes. We knew we had to film them strategically to ensure the safety of ourselves and our surroundings. Due to our scenes repeating, recording each part various times was crucial. We started by recording each part separately then compared them afterward. This made the process smoother since the entire scene was already set. This included the clothing, sets, and proper lighting. Much like the first day, we started to run into some problems. For the majority of our time, everything was running smoothly. However, the weather began to work against us. In some parts, the wind was too active which messed with the audio. Most of the dialogue was washed out so we couldn't really hear. Just before we thought it couldn't get worse... it got worse. Clouds started to form and sooner than later we were forced indoors. Due to this, we were unable to film the car crash. Yet, we used this

Production Blog- Post Card

Image
Due to my absence from school, my group stepped in to complete the postcard. A postcard is a physical or digital small form of advertisement. There is usually a front and back. The theme of the postcard usually matches the genre of the media. In our case: Mystery. The title of our short film is "Wednesday Drive." To get that point across to our viewers, we need to include a car of some sort onto the postcard. After a few website searches for the car in motion, we finally found the right one. The picture we used portrays a car driving fast. Due to the focus of the photo, you can sense the speed is above the speed limit. This plant's images in your mind of what is to come next. Will the driver into a car accident, will they get pulled over. Thus, leaving you wanting more. On the front of our postcard, we also include the showtimes, address, a QR code to the website, and our social media. Every important piece of information the audience may need is right on the card.

A Level: Group Blog

Hi! Dru here. As you know, last year for my final task I chose to work alone. Due to covid and time conflicts. However, for my  A level final task I will be grouping up with 2 other people: S and Vanessa G. I am excited to be able to group up rather than work alone. This will help make the process a little easier. We all have different experiences and thoughts so the final product will be a reflection of that.  We plan on brainstorming first. Then, planning the rest of our events. Such as who is filming, acting, and editing. When we choose to meet and themes. I chose to work with these people because we already are comfortable with each other and are hard workers. We are all really passionate in making this the best.  We knew we were going to group up from the start. So I am really glad it all worked out. This will be not only be great quality, but we will also have fun doing it. Having fun is a big part of group projects. If none of you are having fun then it will reflect on your prod
