Production Log 4

I have learnt that titles play a small but important role in the opening sequence, they need to be seen and stay on screen long enough for the audience to be able to read, they need to be discrete enough so that the audience's attention is not drawn away from what is happening on screen and should also reflect on the film. For example when I did the Incredible Hulk title analysis I noticed that the typography didn't interfere with any action on screen and was green to correspond with green look of the incredible hulk himself.

This will impact my work as it has shown me what to include when organising the title sequence and how to illustrate it to the audience so that the opening can flow freely without interruption, also knowing the order of which the credits should come up will help as well.

I would use a very basic typography which isn't super-imposed because it takes away from any action on screen, making sure that audience can read it but also be able to keep up with anything on the screen.

The typography on the left is what is more suitable for a BSR film seeing as it is low budget and a simple way to get across to the audience while not distracting them from the action on screen, if i were to use the type of superimposed typography on the right it would take away from the effect that i am looking to try get which is quite simple.

I found that the sound analysis was the trickiest of the three tasks I did over the last week because I found that the film i looked at (Adulthood) looks at sound in very different ways, it even uses silence to create atmosphere.
Also I found that the fish tank case study was quite challenging because of the limited use of each convention, being a BSR film, fish tank has to use repeated techniques as it is on a low budget, talking about various techniques they used was hard but i also found that the way they illustrated these techniques were very interesting and creative.
I decided that the things i saw in each task, i would find some way to apply it to my production as they all could make it more successful if incorporated properly. Though I found one task quite useful which was the opening credits to a film. I did the Incredible Hulk, i found that the way the typography was used was very simple but matched the film itself for example the typography was green which goes with the green colour of the hulk.

(eg. of the typography from the incredible hulk, it shows how simple the opening credits are yet incorporating the colour scheme for the hulk)
