OFFICE, 12:34 A.M, 1995 (RYAN MITCHELL) Hello, who is this? (UNKNOWN CALLER) Hello, I’m a detective for RMM and I have been assigned to investigate the case regarding your late father’s 1994 murder.  (RYAN MITCHELL)  Why are you calling me though, Detective?  (DETECTIVE)  I need information on your part, it’s essential in solving this case.  (RYAN MITCHELL)  Ask me all the questions you need, but make it quick. (DETECTIVE)  Of course. So last I recall your father was quite the investigator. Uncovered Salica’s underground criminal network, exposed them to the public, but was presumably hunted down and killed by one of its remaining leaders. Let’s begin by your father’s work, do know anything of what he did behind the scenes? (RYAN MITCHELL)  I do, Detective. I’ve actually continued his work in his honor after his tragic passing. He found a drug trade network near the West Valley City area. He got involved with them shortly after as an undercover. A...

Hello bloggers, my name is Jose Retana. Here is my title design in terms of how it looks as a font. I’m not sure what the name is but it gives me that “old book” style font and that unsettles me so I’m going with it.  I think that this will be the primary font and color used as I think it contrasts the dark background I’m going with. Gold is also a clean color as well. I’m quite bad a cropping things into place so just imagine this font on the dark background without the white. My titles will mostly be in a semi dark, area of the screen where the lighting does not hit.  As you can see from the font too, my movie name will likely be “Whispers of Betrayal.” Subject to change of course, but I think it could stick.  Back to the titles, my titles will move in and out mostly through a simple cut, like I will transition them when I’m moving to a new camera angle. I took this inspiration from one of the films I researched, Se7en. The titles will be about 12 seconds long each, and...

 Hello bloggers my name is Jose Retana, let’s plan scheduling the project! Everything here is subject to change, this is just an outline.  Filming 2/12/2024- Filming begins, I am dividing the scene into 3 portions. So scene 1, 2, and 3. Scene 1 will be filmed first which is the part that ends with the detective asking his second question.  2/13/2024- Middle part of the scene aka scene 2 is filmed which is where scene 1 leaves off and now up until the point where the detective reveals that he knows. There is a lot of dialogue which is why this small portion will take a day of filming.  2/14/2024- Filming ends with the rest of the script playing out in scene 3.  2/17/2024-3/01/2024- Editing will begin and will try to piece together my scenes to make it fitting to my genre. I’ll then get it ready to be uploaded.  Location I will be filming directly in my own house and my own room similar to this image. I’ll simply add a candle on a table in a dark room to crea...

  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. This helped further my analysis in breaking down these opening sequences. Researching this site has given me good references. In this site, I found the psychological thriller "Silence of the Lambs" and analyzed its entire opening sequence. Here are some questions I answered through my analysis:  What titles are displayed during the opening sequence?...
