Title research: jig saw

Jigsaw is a horror sequel that's been going on for almost 2 decades. After a series of murders bearing all the markings of the Jigsaw killer, law enforcement officials find themselves chasing the ghost of a man who has been dead for over a decade, and they become embroiled in a new game that's only just begun. There is only a whopping 2 titles  which is really underwhelming.  The only images shown in the title sequence is a trap the police uses to slow down the vehicle. The title sequence gives me an action film vibe because of the high tempo chase music. The movie should be giving off this type of vibe because its supposed to be a horror movie. The title sequence isn't anything special at all. Ot doent give any enigma or give me suspense. The close up shot of the trap wasn't really int

Title research: case 39

Case 39 is a horror movie about a  social worker fights to save a girl from her abusive parents, only to discover that the situation is more dangerous than she ever expected. There's  a total of 19 titles in the opening. The image's the opening show the social worker trying to make it home after a hard day at work. Some angles of angles of nearby buildings can be seen with the titles hidden on them. The opening gives a serious vibe because of all the dull lighting, colors and fonts of the words. With the mixture of the serious song  gives me chills. The opening is very enigmatic because it shows a regular social worker  going home so it left me puzzled because this is supposed to be a horror movie but it felt like a thriller which threw me off. The eye of god angle was put into use in this opening to look at the buildings. I dont know why they did this but it was pretty good scenery. 

Title research: a quiet place

A quiet place is a popular movie about a family that must survive a world where they're being hunted by creatures that hunt by sound. Even a single whisper or footstep can bring death to the family. They try to find a way to fight back. The reason I wanted to make a blog on this movie is because it didnt even have titles. However, they still got the tone through the setting and lack of sound. The images show a post apocalyptic town and a family in a pharmacy. This shows that something must've happened to the town for a family to go through a pharmacy to get medicines. The lack of sound adds a creepy mysterious tone because in an apocalypse, I would really be that quiet unless there is a force forcing to be this quiet. Some angles angles and switches from diegenic and non diegenic sound makes the opening scene better. The low angle of the family walking out of the store and the newspaper flapping in the wind saying to stay inside because of the creatures with sound, gave a good explanation to the movie. Also when the family walked over the bridge and the kid made noise with the plane, you can hear the transition from non diegenic music, silence and the non diegenic plane sound, to the diegenic footsteps. This is a very good opening eventhough there wasn't a title sequence.

Title research: it

 It(2017) is a horror movie remake of the 1990 version that all the old people used to lose their marbles to. The movie is about seven outcasted in dairy, Mainewho face thier worse nightmares that all come from one source: Ann ancient, shape-shifting evil that comes from the sewers every 27 years to prey on the town's children. Banding together because of the nightmares they faced through the summer, they try to face their fears to battle the murderous, killer clown known as Pennywise. There's a total of 16 titles in the intro, which isn't alot but the duration of the titles were extended  so it would take longer. The images shown in the title sequence show bill making the boat he gave to georgy which lead to his fatal demise. The connotation in the movie was done beautifully. The white mixed with the fonts they used in the intro wmgave me a sense of seriousness. Horror is the genre be reinforced through the outset of the title sequence. From the fonts to the creepy piano Bill's mom was playing made the tone and the genre scream at our faces. The title sequence was very enigmatic because it didnt really show anything except bill making George's boat. If I wasn't a fan of the movie it, I wouldn't noticed what movie it was or that the scene was the scene which led to georgy getting killed. On the other hand, the finer knew that this scene would catch a viewer that knows the movie's eye. If you're someone who watched it, you'd catch that seen instantly. They used their modern technology effectively with the camera angles and non diegenic sound and diegenic sound. The angles they used gave that simple title sequence a pop. The dark lighting gives a viewer a creepy vibe when mixed with the non diegenic piano playing in the background. To add on, the switch tondiegenic sound was perfect when georgy went downstairs to where the music was coming from. This is truly a great title sequence. 

Art of the title review

My teachers chose to be major meanies today and assigned us 6 blogs that are due friday. The blogs should be easy because all we have to do is look at intros and intros to movies on the website called art of the title. WWW.artofthetitle.com is a website that shows intros and intros to movies. Our teachers wanted us to study these titles to understand what a intro looks like and what goes in a title. This is a pretty good page because it has new movies you can look at. It also has old movies as well with some block buster movies. They also have tv shows. The intros are not based on categories or genres. They just mix them all together. I saw title sequences that blew my mind. They were so coordinated, calculated, and smooth as could be. I looked at the best titles of 2019 and it was amazing as well.  I learned that movies and TV shows put title sequences to set a major tone. It's like a hook in a book because it meant to attract the watcher. All the titles were tied to the genre or overall theme to the movie or show. It gives a sneak peek into what you're about to watch.
