Title Website Research

 After deciding on our genre we were planning on using for our opening sequence we were tasked with researching other title sequences. The main reason for this being us drawing inspiration from others. We began looking around the web for a cite(s) where we could watch movie opening sequences. We eventually came across a site called “Watch the titles”. The site has opening sequences for many many movies, just what we were looking for. The site had many different sections that made it easy to find what we were looking for.  Drop downs lead to work by certain creators and studios if you want to see a lot of work from a similar source. There was also a search bar that can help you narrow down on more specific topics of things you are looking for. Also different groups of title sequences are put together in groups such as “Emmy nominees” and “feature films”. There were also links to social media pages easily accessible in the top right of the site. 

The first site I found was great, but I don’t like drawing all my information from only one source. I ended up researching other cities that offered similar assortment of title sequences, and I came across another site. This site was called “ Art of the Title”, and it was somewhat similar to the first site we found (Watch The Titles). This site was a lot more organized and categorized than the first site. There were sections for: "Emmy


Award Winners” like the first site. What majorly defireciated this site from the first was that it contained easy access to multiple articles about different title sequences.  The site also contained different categories like the first site, such as “designers” and “Studios”. The site also offered different articles for each category for those that want a more in-depth look at the workings of the sequences. The site overall I felt was slightly more organized but didn’t have as large of a library. Both were extremely helpful in our research, but for different reasons.

       For the second project we were assigned I decided to work in a group. My group consists of Jorge Lopez, and Christian Bundalevski. I typically like working in group settings because I feel like the different perspectives help provide a better final product. Obviously, I have had group projects in the past that were not so stellar experiences but I feel as if this project will go much more smoothly. Being able to choose groups is very nice as opposed to the teacher deciding.  Jorge Lopez, I have known for many years. We first became friends in the 5th grade and stayed friends all throughout middle school. We ended up going to the same high school together and spent much of last year in discord calls together along with another friend, but that is a story for another day. I have done projects with Jorge in the past and he is very good at coming up with creative ideas. He is also very funny but not overly distracting in a group setting.  Now Christian I have also known for years. W

Editing: Experimentation

       Today was the second day we had in class to edit out commercials together. We began by having Rashawn show us what he had so far. He ended up transferring our work to Adobe Premeair cut Pro so we got to see that program too.    We then began to tinker with the lighting a little bit and ended up settling with more lighting than before. We also experimented with different sounds or music clips but we ended up staying with what we had before.    While watching Rashawn edit we all became curious about how the program he uses worked. I am learning a bit of adobe due to my marketing essentials but only the photoshop aspect. I know next to nothing of Premiere Cut Pro. So Rashawn came up with a proposal. He decided to make us a copy file and we each fiddled around with the software a little bit which was quite fun.    We used the lighting options to put a black and white box over our faces and watched some clips play by, that feature was my personal favorite. We also speed up and slowed
