Title Research: Code 8 (2019)

Image
  How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? There are a total of 29 titles displayed during the opening sequences of Code 8, including individual acting credits and individual personal titles. The first title displayed is the name of the studio, followed by associated studios, the production company’s credit, various acting credits, the credits of the casting directors, and the visual effects supervisor. After this comes the credit for the creator of the music, the costume designer, the editor, the production designer, the director of photography, the co-producer and associate producers, various executive producers, the lead producer, the creators of the story and screenplay, the director, and finally, the movie title. What connotations do the images carry? The images shown are meant to show the descent from hopefulness regarding the future to a militaristic dystopia as a result of the earlier hope. The early images are filled with idealist...

Genre Decision Blog

  My group has decided to go with a Sci-Fi blog to be our final project. This is because we ruled out a Thriller and a War movie as reasonable possibilities. Thrillers rely completely on well-constructed props, sets, atmospheres, and costumes. Accomplishing this would be very difficult for our group and very limited budget. Particularly in the case of a monster, executing this idea would be very difficult. We would need a well-designed costume to be shown only briefly throughout the entire project, which seems to be a waste of effort. Lighting presents its own problems as well. Conventionally, thrillers are dark, obscuring views to add anticipation. Our group believes this would be hard to accomplish as well, because we have very little experience filming in dark environments. The final product could come out too dark to be seen. War movies require large sets of battlefields and many more actors than are in our group of 4. Even if we could get more actors, scheduling would be a nig...

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 th...
