Title Design Thriller Dark



1) How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones?

In the opening sequence of the Dark on the website Art of the titles there is a total of 18 titles displayed. These titles included the producer, casting crew, makeup crew, and the director of photography. The titles contain the important people working behind the movie and that gets a credit for their hard work. 

 2. What connotations do the images carry? (how do you they make you feel) 

The images in the opening scene of dark are filmed with a mirror effect. This is obvious due to the replicating image of the actor or item on the oppisite side of the screen. However, the degree of mirror is confusing but almost reminds me of a POV shot. The titles on the screen are simple white with yellow undertone that makes them pop from the dark background and every new shot is a new title. Stated on arts of the title," “The brief was to get a feminine font with a hard edge. After The thriller aptly opens with a stunning sequence that takes our world and dismembers it, assembling the pieces into something eerie but beautiful. There’s a discomfort in the imagery, an awkward folding of bodies and forms. Doorways bend into themselves. Eyes blink impossibly inwards. With design by Lutz Lemke and music from Apparat featuring Soap & Skin, the title sequence is a disquieting scrapbook of moments and deeds. The work of title designer Danny Yount immediately comes to mind, particularly the opening to 2001’s Six Feet Under, as well as Yount’s symmetrical titles for Semi-Permanent Portland 2013. "

3. How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you  tell what genre the film is) Yes, I could easily tell that this was in the genre of thriller because of the dark gloomy setting. Another hint was the creators choice of not adding a ton of gore but to make it more about supernatural. For example,"Co-creators Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese present an intricate mystery filled with curious characters, fractured memories, horrifying legacies, and more than a dash of the supernatural."

4. What conventions are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience?

- The mystery aptly opens with a beautiful series that takes our international and dismembers it, assembling the portions into some thing eerie however beautiful. There`s a soreness withinside the imagery, an ungainly folding of our bodies and forms. Doorways bend into themselves. Eyes blink impossibly inwards. With layout with the aid of using Lutz Lemke and song from Apparat providing Soap & Skin, the identify series is a disquieting scrapbook of moments and deeds. Stated in the art of the title,"   present an intricate mystery filled with curious characters, fractured memories, horrifying legacies, and more than a dash of the supernatural."

Change of Plans

As the title states, there has been a change of plans in terms of the product of my final task.  I will have to cut the total amount of script to a minimum.  I have changed my aspect of what I want to create and I am leaning more towards a euphoria aspect. In euphoria contains flashbacks with a monotone voiceover. According to an article written about the producer's opinion of the show, " The look and feel of the show are as superheated as adolescence itself. The colors are bold, the score and needle-drop songs are loud, and the camera rarely sits still when it can glide, swoop whip-pan, or spiral. Every episode starts with a speedy prologue outlining the backstory of a recurring character shot, cut, and scored like a “previously on” recap of someone’s life. (Levinson wrote all eight episodes in the first season and directed five.) The medium-size town in which the tale is set was mainly built from scratch, the better to allow for expressionistic lighting and acrobatic vi...

  1.      How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? Ni- Nine Titles were displayed in the opening sequence of 30 days of Night. Stated in the article on watch the titles," The audience is confronted with a sequence of highly disquieting images that cross-dissolve or fade to black. Details of torn and tainted photographs, northern lights, shadows, a bloody tooth embedded in a thick layer of ice and references to the Alaskan wintercape. Brian Reitzell‘s haunting score greatly enhances the discomforting atmosphere." The titles in this opening sequence are simple in all white, however in all capitial letters to state the importantance. I highly like the simple design of the titles and the design of the 30 Days of Night title.  2.      What connotations do the images carry?  - The images carry t he discomforting atmosphere with  Details of torn and tainted photographs, northern lights, shado...

Commercial Group Blog

                  I have come to the decision to create my commercial alone. On short assignments such as the commercial, I prefer to work alone. I have found when you have a group on individuals on an assignment like this one, there is too many ideas and voices to be represented. Another reason I choose to work alone is so I am accountable for my own work. This eliminates the stress of having to make sure everyone submits and does their part of the assignment. I feel when I work alone, I'm the one to have the control over the assignment and can raise the standards. My exceptions for projects is set really high and working with people that don't match my work ethic and standards adds more work for me then what's needed. My personality matches with working alone. I'm an over-achiever and like to challenge myself to the best work I can turn in. In addition, I'm very creative and do not like to turn in the average projects or assignme...
