Title Research: The Invasion

The title sequence of this movie begins with introducing the novel that the movie is based upon. It also

introduces all of the production companies involved. The lettering is in white, thin letters that have neon

tones. It then shows the name of the main actor followed by the title. The title of the movie is in the same

font as the previous titles. Followed by this are the rest of the actors’ names along with the crew involved in

bringing the movie to life. Different images of planetary bodies and the circulatory system. Once, the title

of the movie passes, and the rest of the cast and crew are shown, the background images shift from outer

space to images of cells and other aspects of the circulatory system. The connotations of these images are

mysterious and uneasy. Outer space is a place that humans do not know much about. This connects to the

movie being about unknown extraterrestrial creatures. The aspects of the circulatory system shown also

demonstrate that humans do not know much about how the human body works at times. Both of these

mysteries together create a sense of worry of what may happen when the two collid, which is exactly what

happens within the movie. The movie also falls under the science fiction genre, and the opening sequence

does reach this audience. The use of planetary bodies attracts science fiction fans. The title of the movie

itself also attracts sci-fi fanatics. However, the mysterious title attracts audiences interested in mystery and

thrillers. The transitions within the sequence are smooth and not noticeable if one is not paying attention.

The lines between what is an outer space object and what is part of the circulatory system blur. Blurring

these lines serves as a reminder of what the movie is about.

       1. How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues?                The commercial uses multiple different things to make it enjoyable. The most noticeable being editing and background sounds. The editing allows the audience to become more engaged with the commercial and the product. The contrasting colors of each shot are a perfect example of this editing. The background music creates the fun, playful atmosphere of the commercial and adds excitement. Background music connects visuals with audio in order for the audience to achieve a more engaging viewing experience. The groups of people to most identify with the commercial is the gaming community. It is also likely to appeal to younger age groups and the high technology community and industry.      2. How does your product engage with the audiences AND how would it be distributed as a...

Finding Fonts

Image
 Once I returned from my trip, there was a time we were not filming. I took advantage of this and began looking for fonts that would fit our opening sequence. I am editing on iMovie, so I looked into the fonts that are offered on there. I couldn't find any fonts that matched the ideas we had previously come up with. I spoke with my group about the font issue, and we looked into other editing platforms. It turned out that iMovie was the easiest place for all of us to edit. So, I became more open minded about the fonts that we had on iMovie. I started experimenting with the different fonts. To do this, I selected one of the clips from what we had previously filmed and put it into iMovie. Once there, I uploaded the clip into a new project and made sure it was the correct length to display the title. Then, I went to the title and fonts option and tested many different fonts. The fonts in iMovie are somewhat basic so it was hard to find some that I genuinely liked. I was able to narrow ...
