Art of the title - #36

   To give a film opening its "Cherry on Top", there must be a phenomenal title sequence. In cinema, fans than just introducing the title. There is also the build-up, which showcases a background, along with opening credits.

  For my film, I chose to include the title in the end, as it will allow the audience to see who the characters will be and the story that is created before the main part of the film. I also added this in with music so that it wouldn't seem boring. The music I chose was the theme of the film, 'The Loser Wins'.


   Another thing that was fun about this was adding the font. Although the font wasn't super special or complex, it was a small element that added detail to the film. One thing I also included with the font was a text shadow. 

  Lastly, after the title sequence was the transition. This was when I let the music play out after the water bottle was caught. At the very end, the frame where Tim caught the water bottle had a comic filter on which I really liked, and thought that it could lead to a nice transition into the rest of the film.

Settings to Consider - #4

   When creating a film, it is always important to identify the setting, or multiple settings. This is because it will help to match the event to when and where it is taking place.

The location should also be clean and organized as well.     It should also include an exterior setting, which may showcase how the characters interact with each other more openly, and at certain times of the day. A great exterior setting to use would be around the neighborhood, because it is an easy place to go out and film at and there is a lot of space for different types of camera shots. There may be some parts of the film that need to be filmed at night, or during the day, and this can be greatly demonstrated using the natural lighting of the sun.   The location of the final battle should be noted as it may be included in the opening. This is because I believe that tying

Genre History - #2

 Since my project will be a sports drama, I needed to do some research on the genre's history to gain more info. To start off, the Sports genre began with Charlie Chaplin's 'The Champion' (1915), which is a boxing silent film. The drama genre has more confusing beginnings however, since it was said to have originated in Greece as an evolution of religious ritual. Around the same time however, the Sanskrit Indian Prakarana arose, which is a play that consisted of five acts. This may have been regarded to spreading the genre of drama in the east, the same way Greece did in the west.  As I've said before, 'The Champion' was the very first sports film. However, this was only a silent film which came around during the silent film era. Meaning that there was no real dialogue or important sounds which could influence the meaning of the film. A much more popular sports film that came later was Rocky (1976) starring Sylvester Stallone. Rocky has also remained a cultu
