Title Research: Dead Silence

 


Hey scholars, welcome back. The film that I chose to analyze is Dead Silence because it is a great representation of how a horror film should be. The website I used was Art of the Title

What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? 
The titles that are displayed first is the title of the film. It is in red and has a spooky looking font to add to the way that the movie is horror. The next titles are from who made the film and a brief description of what to expect. Then it goes into naming everyone who helped contribute to makingthe film happen like the actors and what not.  

What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?

The images that are prioritized look like scenes from out the movie. They are images that give a feel for what will happen in the movie without fully telling what exactly is going on. The movie is on a marionette that is very haunting and the image of him in the opening sequence adds fear.  

How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the others? 

We get a feeling of horror by the different pictures being inserted as stated in the previous question. Also, the different way the conventions are thrown in to keep somewhat suspense of what will happen in the movie. There are a lot of quick transitions to keep the suspense. The background noise also adds to the emotion element as it helps intensify what will happen. Everything in the film from the images and music to the description and motive helps us get to the horror level. 


Thank you for reading, until next time scholars!!


Yours Truly, A. LaFrance ;)

Production Blog...a word from our peers

  Welcome back scholars to your favorite blog!!! Last time we began taking in peer reviews to make our final task a full success. Being able to get reviews from our peers really helps us look into any things we may have missed. Some things that needed to be fixed were the transitions. Many of our peers stated, they enjoyed our sequence but the transitions were a bit fast. "I feel like you can make your transitions a bit slower, so the viewers can take in the full screen set" I agreed, making the transitions too fast may cause viewers confusion or not enough time to assess the scene. There were a couple of critiques on our acting skills. I was shocked when a peer stated our acting was "pretty good". In personally thought otherwise, but it felt really good to know. Another critique we received was our opening shot. In the beginning it was at a certain angle, making it hard to see the content. With some help, we were able to fix this. Viewers have a better understandin...

Genre Research: Romance….

 Heyy scholars, welcome back to my blog!! Today we will be conducting research on one of the most watched genres ever….ROMANCE!!   Hey scholars welcome back! Within movies they're certain genres that catch the watchers attention and certain things that keep it. Romance is always a safe option because it will always catch an audience's attention. It can go the sappy cute way or the sad yet still romantic which is why it is such a great genre. The projects I decided to research were Hallmark romance movies.  For romance the part that captures is the way the love story builds up from the bottom up or the history that is behind the relationship. What isn't appealing is the cliche aspect. Giving the audience a taste of something that isn't real and having them believe in a delusional state of reality. This is a non appealing aspect but besides that romance movies are nice to watch. Some examples are Love on the Sidelines, The Sweetest Heart, A Paris proposal and things of...
