Title Research (Se7en)

Image
 Hello, my name is Jose Retana. Earlier I researched watchthetitles.com. I researched this site in order to get a feel of what is expected of me when I make my own opening sequence. I looked at the different aspects and asked myself why that was added. This helped me in my purpose of looking for a standard to meet. What also helped was seeking different conventions used throughout opening sequences. This helped me to visualize what I need. This site as well gave me a large range of films to choose from. Another reason I researched the site is that this it gives insight/behind the scene of the people who made the opening sequence.

My next blog will be scene three and the beginning of editing.  Firstly, I'd have to say that scene 1 was the harder one to film.

Genre DECISION

Image
(Image from Fight Club)  Hello bloggers, my name is Jose Retana and I am finally revealing the genre I chose for my opening sequence.  I choose the Psychological Thriller genre.  It was close between this and the drama genre, but I enjoy how this genre incorporates plot twists, while also having aspects of the drama genre. It leaves a lasting impact while being more rich in story. It's unique and it has a good camera angle/mis-en-scene selection.
