Blog Post #46 Titling Sequence in Film

 Today I will be talking about the titling sequence in film and in my film.



The Titling sequence in film can help convey the tone and mood of the upcoming film. This is because of the background of the title, the color of the title, and the font of the title. So the background of the title can help set the tone of the film through a solid color like the animated show, "Invincible"'s title card or set the scene of the first shot. These are both effective with the scenery background helping forward the plot to the next sequence and the main color helping to build the mood and tone of the film. Another aspect of the titling sequence is the coloring of the title, this is mainly used to evoke emotion in the audience and give a clue as to what the main tone is going to be in the film. Finally the last main aspect is the font that is used for the title and this can help set the overall pace of the scene with it being more common with crazier fonts having faster paced films and more bold and aesthetic fonts having steadier films.



For example the titling sequence in the film "Whiplash" uses a dark background that is mainly meant to focus the reader on the big red color on the main title. This implies that the film will be violent and have a lot of aggression in it, this turns out to be true in this film. But the film is also indicated to be a slow paced film because of its bold and straight font conveying that this film will not be that crazy and fast paced. This also turns out to be true with it being a slow paced film that makes it a key to focus on each individual plot point to strengthen the films ideas. 


So, In my film I will be using my titling sequence to establish the setting of the opening two minute sequence and my title is using a background of the daylight sky and bold white text to convey a neutral and plot driven film.

  Today I will be talking about social media and its affects on our perspectives. So, everyone that we know and mostly everyone in our world uses social media for everything from sports to politics. This use of social media can help us in many ways such as staying up to date on the current fashion trends, helping us stay entertained with fun videos, and even helping us with day-to-day situations through tutorials. That being said social media can also cause many people to unfortunately suffer at the end of social media. This includes spreading mis-information, cyber bullying, and even identity theft. So with that being said let's look at some ways that social media can hurt or help athletes across the globe. An example of social media helping athletes is Ja Morant, where his highlight plays throughout college helped him develop a name for himself as a highlight reel machine and this helped attract the attention of NBA scouts. He wasn't in a flashy college like Duke or Kan...

Blog Post #6 Sports in Film

Today I will be analyzing The Longest Yard, which is a Sports Films and how it is good at helping convey the other genres in that film through its different micro elements, specifically Mise-en-Scene. The Longest Yard The Longest Yard is a football movie that is centered around a star quarterback who got into trouble with the law, this getting him arrested. Then this brings up the location which is centered in a prison with the quarterback ("Paul Crewe", The main character) having to put together a football team to compete with the guards of that prison. This is because the prison wants to humiliate the prisoners and make it seem as though they are nothing compared to the guards of the prison, it will also re-assure the public about their prison security and their overall security system. But that doesn't go as planned because the "Coms" win and prove everyone wrong, becoming the crowd favorite and partially restoring their public image in the process. This conn...
