Title research: Irréversible

Hey bloggers! My partner and I continued our research on title sequence within thriller film. This time we researched the movie Irréversible. We did all our research on the website watchthetitles.com. This title research helps us determine how we should execute our titles in our film. Irréversible is a French film. We chose this film because it adds more variety to the other ones we researched so far. During this sequence the opening credits and title of the movie is displayed. These titles are written with some flipped letters and words. It adds to the sense of suspense. The titles start slipping to the side to then completely “tumble” off the screen. Technology that’s used effectively is the editing techniques. The music used is an example of this. The music played during the opening sequence is very essential to the genre. There’s either a high drum playing or sometimes complete silence. This begins when the words got bigger and were pulsating. This is what helps the filmmaker play off on that sense of urgency and suspense within the audience. In this opening sequence there looked to be a room that was shown for like 2 seconds. It came up and then disappeared as quickly as it came. The connotations that these images bring is still urgency and suspense. It makes the audience believe that something big is coming very soon. The title design and music is what appeals to the audience.

Hey Bloggers! The commercial I decided to talk about Is the iPhone. The iPhone is a popular phone line of touchscreen smartphones by Apple Inc. Each year since 2007 there has been a new and improved iPhone. In the advertisements used to promote these iPhones, there are a variety of tactics put in place. Some ads have people of all ethnicities and ages to show some diversity. This could show people that all sorts of people are able to use this phone. Another tactic is upbeat movement and dancing. When the promotion is being played and you hear a burst of great music it puts you into a good mood. A smile is always on the actors faces when shooting the promotion. This could make it seem like having an iPhone is something to be excited about. When dancing and indulging into happiness and smiling, this might persuade someone to buy the phone thinking that the phone might give them that same feeling. The music could also aim to affect the younger generation. They use popular and likeable...

I started to film on October 31, 2020. While filming this commercial there were some ups and downs. For example, my dad was supposed to help me film two of my scenes but then he had to suddenly go out of town so that couldn’t work. I tried to think of other people that I can asked to help me film. In one of my scenes a required movement and I couldn’t just prop up my phone and move it at the same time while I was the person that was supposed to be in that scene. I asked my mom if she could help me and she said yes. So in filming this blog I have to first plan out everything in my mind and what I was going to do. I thought about the different scenes and the different places that I would want to take each scene. The first scene was me showing the iPhone box which, the iPhone was the main product of the commercial. I tried to hold my phone at an angle that wasn’t showing any shadows but still had a good lighting to showcase the box. One of the difficult parts of this scene was when I need...
