Planning for Final Task: Title Planning

 Titles

The opening credits of my film will appear in an "Oswald"-esque font. They will conform to match the action within a scene. For example, their transitions will be quicker and sharper during the basketball playing scenes, but will become slower and simpler during the dialogue. Most, if not all, of the titles will be on the bottom left corner of the viewer's screen. 

Working Title: The title of this film is likely to be "Overtime". 

It will be Bold Face Oswald Font and in all Caps: SOMETHING ALONG THIS STYLE.

The titles' transitions will vary. In slower scenes, such as ones which contain dialogue, they will most likely just fade in. However, in faster scenes, such as the one where Carl is practicing for his private workout, they my slide or bounce onto the screen quickly. 

Titles will disappear after 2 or 3 seconds.

The size of the fonts will be uniform, and the colors will simply be white. There may be a drop shadow on the text to create a more pleasing visual effect, however. 

Tracking will be adjusted when possible, in order to make words easier to read. Leading should not have to be adjusted, as I do not plan to have multiple lines of text on the screen at the same time. 

The size of the name being displayed will be slightly larger than the credit itself, I feel that the name of the person should be emphasized slightly more than the explanation of their role in the film.

Example: Produced By: Carl Backer

Short Film: The Terrible Old Man Analysis

Image
I was excited to review this short film as it is based on an H.P Lovecraft story. Lovecraft is one of my favorite authors, and I was excited to see his writing on the screen. I have never heard of this short story before, however, I was excited to see how it would be. This one was pretty long, but I still liked it overall. Common Sounds- Lots of wind, sounds for background like chimes to set the mood. There is dialogue also between the robbers and the old man, however, it isn't as important. Common Mis-en-scene- This includes the scenes with the house decoration, the really good costumes to make it as Lovecraftian as possible, and the props used by the old man and the robbers. Common Editing- Many backs and forth close shots and dolly shots in this film. Too many zooms, to be honest, it was kind of making me sick. What did I like about the genre- How well the mystery was paced in this short film was amazing. I was mostly worried about the time when making mine and this helped to se

Planning For My Music Video

  Planning For My Music Video Song Title:  The title of the song I intend to use is Brenda's Got a Baby. It was made by Tupac Shakur in 1991. The song, which features R&B singer Dave Hollister singing background vocals with Roniece Levias, is about a 12-year-old girl named Brenda who lives in a ghetto and has a baby she can't support. Props: I do not intend to use any props within my music video. The music video will only involve actors and a particular setting.  Costumes: I intend to dress in a style that is reminiscent of 90s rap attire. I will be wearing some form of baggy pants as well as a baggy shirt. I will either be wearing a pair of Nike Airforce 1s or a pair of Timberland Boots, which were common choices for footwear in the 90s. I plan having another person within the video as an actor and he will be wearing similar attire.  Location: The location of the video will an empty street. I will be walking down a street within my video so any empty street in a residentia

Final Task Filming/Editing: Adjusting to Schedules and Identifying Music

Image
 Adjusting to Schedules and Identifying Music      Filming did not go as I'd previously scheduled. 11th graders at our school had to take the SAT on March 3rd, 2021. I had planned for filming to begin on March 3rd  and continue into March 4th, however my other participants did not feel that they could come out to film after taking the test. This is understandable, and I respect the fact that they may need some down time after being tested for 5 hours. In the meantime, I began research on possible music choices that I could use in my film. I'm going to need three different types of background music in my film: upbeat hip hop music, casual hip-hop music, and dramatic music. For the hip-hop instrumentals, I looked into Homage Beats, who is a beat producer who makes a wide variety of hip hop beats. I am familiar with Homage's work because I have used some of it in past videos (personal). I have identified 6 different beats which I think fit my film very well, and I have contact
