  My group members and I decided to do the horror genre for our opening sequence. Not only because it would be easier to film but because its very interesting. I feel like we would enjoy making the film if it was horror. We also filmed a music video together and that music video has similar camera angles and movements like the horror genre. We came to this conclusion as a group. We didn't have any disagreements because most of us like horror films. We also wanted to film something that has suspense. We want to keep the audience on their toes. And we feel like the horror genre is the best genre for that. Horror is also the most popular genre. This is because this genre impacts the audience the most. It also has the most interaction with the audience. The horror genre is also the most talked about genre. Many people debate on horror films and it becomes a world wide topic. We want our film to be like that. We want the audience to be surprised and scared. We want to make our film very...

  Drama is another genre me and my group are interested in. The drama genre keeps us entertained. The drama keeps the characters in the dark. But keeps the viewers in the light and brings us, the audience, a world of insight and assurance. Even if we watch a disaster, we believe like we live more deeply through a character's heightened interactions, because not only is time compressed, but action and sense happen concurrently. The common lighting in this genre is low key lighting. The angles in the drama genre consist of wide angle, long shot, close up, extreme close up, two-shot, and over the shoulder. Also seen in this video is the common camera movements. The most common  mis-en-scenes are décor, lighting, costumes and makeup. Overall, we like how the drama genre is more enhanced. The last genre is thriller. Thriller is very well liked because of the suspense and mystery. Thrillers are dark and engrossing plot driven stories. They can also include comedic elements. The genr...

  In this beginning of the school year we did a media project on genres. We had to pick a certain genre and talk about it. We had to discuss all the elements that commonly occurred in the genre. This included things like characters, situations, settings, props, themes, and events. We had to find the common angles, movements, and sounds in our genre. I chose the horror genre. I chose this because it was the easiest genre to research. I also love watching horror films. The common lighting in this genre is up lighting. The common angles in the horror genre is birds eye/ high angle. As well as close up and tracking. I believe that these angles help make the film more suspenseful. I said that the common movements in this genre were zoom, panning shot, jump cut, handheld camera shot, and tracking shot. I also stated in the power point the elements I liked and disliked. I like the horror genre because its very suspenseful and have you surprised. It makes the film more interesting to watch...

 This website was very intriguing since all the options you could look into had their own title designs. This site had a lot of different films, TV shows, and video game title designs you could look at and read about. There was quite a few that were extremely good and you could tell how much work was put into them. Reading about the backgrounds of the designs was more interesting than I thought and I feel really prepared my group for the making of our own. There was a whole section of interview's from the popular and award winning title's/ designers. There is also a section called the Student Projects. You can send in your own work and title designs into the student projects section. You can also look into submissions from other students world-wide. The student designs looked legit and just shows you anyone can do it with the time and dedication. I feel like the student section is a really good example for our class to look into since we will be making title designs of our own....

This website showed a huge variety of different title sequences and the details behind them. You could view the title features about many films from familiar films and non-familiar films. As I researched I realized a lot goes into the making the title panel's. These title's and title designs are the key factor to grabbing the viewers attention. The time and effort put into the title's and designs is worth it and can really make or break the success of what you are portraying to the people. There are whole teams needed to complete these, a few of them are: a creative director and co- founder, graphic designer, motion graphic designer and writer, and design director. The titles aren't just for movies, they are in video games, web series, television, and events and conferences. I feel like researching this site helped a lot since I didn't have much knowledge about this topic. This information is going to help my group while we are creating our title and title designs. ...

 I'm Eva Carbonara, a sophomore at Fort Lauderdale Highschool. I am 16 years old. I am working in a group with Ella J, Daniel S, and Paige M. I chose to work with these people because they are hardworking and trust worthy. I won't have to worry about anyone slacking off. We are also quite creative when we brainstorm ideas. Paige, Ella, Daniel, and I are friends outside of school so it is easy to get along. We are all also in the same quarantine group so we won't have to worry about seeing each other. We all know when to be serious and when to have a good time so I feel this project will run smoothly. I'm excited to see what we come up with in the end for our final pitches. I think we will face challenges along the way but over come them easily and together. We all worked together for past projects in the class and it went well. We surprisingly didn't have too many disagreements, and worked well together. I'm happy with my group and can't wait to see how ever...
