 There are two sites that I will use to research title design. The first website I will be using is www.artofthetitle.com. When you first open the website it brings you to the homepage. The homepage has a search bar and some search filters in the top right. This helps you search through the thousands of pieces of content on their website. It also has a few interesting links with images that you can click on. These links then bring you to a separate page with information. You can find title sequences very easily on this website. The title sequences are easy to digest and all the information is given to you neatly. I like this website overall. The second website I will be reviewing is www.watchthetitles.com. When you first open the page it brings you to a home page with many features like the other website. There is a drop down bar you can click with many search features. There is a search bar as long as multiple links you can click that will bring you to another page with informati...

 Passenger Common CAMS in the movie: Passenger includes lots of two-shots as well as over the head shot. These shots help the movie by moving it along as well as showing their surroundings. Even though at some points the image is focused on the actors, a clear glimpse of the background shows how futuristic it is. This helps appeal to the audience and create a liking for Sci-fi fans. Common CLAMPS in the movie: Uniforms in the movie stay consistent. They are long sleeved and long pants that are light grey. Grey and white 100% have future feels and help the movie add to the Sci-fi part. If a small detail like the costumes being a distinct color, I think that would not help the movie, but hinder it. Common Sound in the movie: Robot wheels are commonly heard in this film. As well as sounds you could imagine flying through space.

The beeping for example is used when the Men in Black use special devices to erase the memory of people, which gives the futuristic fee...

 After completing research for 3 different genres, we had all the information we needed to decide which one we would be using. This decision was not a simple one since this would be a very crucial choice for the entirety of the film. Therefore, we decided on making a film on Sci-fi. Sci-fi not only is enjoyable to watch, but also has endless outcomes. For other genres such as horror, there is a very well-known plot that every movie covers. The main character gets chased by the antagonist and eventually survives and kills it. Sci-fi allows us to be unique and creative and truly create an original film. Furthermore, having no boundaries. was extremely important to us. Additionally sci-fi is straight forward to film. The camera angles are generic with occasional overhead shots to show the landscape. In most Sci-fi films they show the setting multiple times as it plays key factors later. We think Sci-fi is going to be the focus of the film but will try and add comedy and jokes. Having ...
