 Scene 1 Backyard Jack opened the door to his backyard and walked outside to inspect a noise he heard earlier with his flashlight Jack:I wonder where that noise came from  Then, he started look for the origin of the noise, starting scanning at the section of his backyard that contained mainly trees and his mom's greenhouse containing her orchids from in front of the backyard door.  After that he looked up in the mango tree in his yard to see if the sound originated from there but spotted nothing. Jack: I guess I'll start taking a closer look in the greenhouse, then under the trees He quickly went to go and check the greenhouse but found nothing out of the ordinary He also found nothing under or behind the trees either. Jack: I guess it was the wind He saw that nothing was out of the ordinary in his backyard, so he turned around to see a hooded figure wielding a shovel right in front of the backyard door.

 The opening credits of my film will appear in a thin font that fades into the center the screen. Some credits, though few, will be moved toward the bottom of the screen. And other credits will be moved to the side of the screen. ● Working Title: The title of this film is likely to be “Digging shadows”  ● It will be Sora Bold Font and in proper uppercase lowercase style: Something Along This Style.  ● Titles will all fade onto the screen. They will appear with a fade and disappear with a fade.  ● Titles will disappear after 1 or 2 seconds.  ● Depending on the color of the scene I will be using White Font or black font. It will look something like this: Directed By: Brandt Forgue  ● The first name of the person who hold the job will be 1-2 size larger than the rest of the words. It would look like this but a bit bigger: Directed By: Brandt Forgue

Title research: Crash

Image
 -What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? The names for all the people who worked on the movie were illuminated by a white light on a blue background  - What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?  There aren't any images but a blue background - How does the film establish a feeling of the genre ? The music for the opening sequence creates an uneasy and mysterious feeling. Also, the names being illuminated then fading to black also creates suspense. I researched this from watchthetitles.com

Title Research: Watch the Titles Website

 I am researching this website because it has many different choices for opening sequences to research for good titles. This website is also good to research video games and tv shows. This website also shows different creators of films on the website. It has a tab for studios that create these films as well that lists them from A-z in alphabetical order. There is also a search tab on the top of the website to help users find what they're searching for.  This website also shows student projects, for example the dark knight rises, Sirens of titan and Motherless Brooklyn. This website also shows feature film titles like Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. some exaples of video games on this website include:Gods of war and killzone. Overall this website has a lot of options for me to go through when looking for title examples. There should be plenty of examples to choose from for this title research and base my opening sequence off of.
