For our project, we have decided to film at Jackon’s house or community. This is because there are a lot of different locations within walking distance for us to film at. Zane, Kyle and Kevin will all come over and then we can begin to film. Another positive aspect of this location is the safety included. All of our parents have agreed to let us film at this location. Jackson’s parents have also agreed to supervise us, that way there is always an adult present should anything go wrong. We will also make sure to stay away from any props that could potentially injure someone, such as a knife or a hammer. If we do use an object that could potentially be dangerous if used improperly, an adult will always be nearby in case of an emergency. Another safety aspect included with the community is that there is 24/7 security, which makes it safer to film after dark if necessary. The community is gated with provides that extra level of safety and comfort. Our group may need a little more time to d

Title Design: JZK SQUARED STUDIOS

In this PowerPoint document, we included all the information about what our titles will be in our opening sequence of our movie. We included each title name and what we will be calling it. We included what font we are going to use, as well as color and size. We also showed the spacing between letters. The working title of each title is also included in the google slide. We said how the titles will transition into the movie, and how long they will each appear on the screen for. The point of this google slides is to inform and plan how we will be creating our titles when we are editing our movie. We wanted the titles to look uniform throughout, so the same size, color, and font will be used for each title. The same goes for transitions in and out, and the duration each title appears on the screen.

I started my research by browsing on artofthetitle.com . I looked at many films that fit our group’s genre of choice, action, and on the website, I came across a variety of movies with amazing title sequences. One that caught my eye was Wonder Woman because it didn’t come out that long ago, so everything is more up to date , It was also very thrilling to look at . It was dark with flashes and sparks of bright colors to catch the eye of its audience and the bold letters made the words pop out as if they were in the 3 rd dimension. It is clear with bright colors to contrast, bold, and eye-catching with assorted designs and activities clothing featured. Beginning before the opening sequence the warner bros and DC logos appear on the screen . it then transitions to a scene of the main character as a child running through tall healthy grass with the main character speaking about her home and where she came from . At this point there is still no sign of the cast or the director

  I first began my discoveries by researching on watchthetitles.com . I looked through many films that fit our group's genre of choice, action, and I came across various numbers of movies with great title sequences. One that caught my eye was Uncharted because it is a 1 -year-old movie, and it has a very action and thrilling look to its entirety . It is clear with bright colors to contrast , bold, and eye-catching with assorted designs and activities clothing featured . Beginning before the opening sequence the Colombia  logo appears on the screen amidst a bright blue sky with clouds scattered and a rainbow ring . It then transitions to a black screen that leads to a statue of a globe being held up for the atlas entertainment logo. In the opening sequence it shows the main actor falling in the sky behind a plane and this a foreshadow which is a common technique used in movies to give a taste of what is to co me. It goes to an action cut scene which goes back to the start
