  Scene 1:  Opening shots on technology- computers, scientific equipment, et cetera.  Narration: “I still remember it like it was yesterday.

Our Movie's Title Design

Image
  My group has decided to avoid using any more than two or three fonts. The use of various fonts such as this would become a problem . The relative simplicity of only a few fonts is designed to avoid overloading the viewer’s eyes and the title growing too crowded and active. We also have to be mindful of color contrast, avoiding the titles blending in with the background at the moments they are shown. A bad contrast would look like this , seeing as a viewer can barely see the text against the white background. We must also be mindful of our font color depending on the background at the exact moment- a black color would work well on a white background, but not as well on a darker one. As a working idea, the main font will be reminiscent of a computer’s code text (in a technological sense) and the majority of titles will come off of a computer screen whenever the screen is shown. The main title will be in a markedly larger font than the rest of the titles and will be located at the bo

The                               titles   vary from the person who directed the movie, the companies involved with                                                producing the   movie, the cast, editors, executive producers, and co-executive producers. What connotations do the images carry? The images shown cannot be understood; meaning it is hard to figure out what the images actually are until they are revealed later in the extract. At first the images carry a mysterious connotation because you can’t figure out what they are. How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? The genre sci-fi is usually spurred on by mystery and the unknown. This same sense of mystery is shown through the images used in this outset. What conventions are used to ensure the film ap
