I first began my discoveries by researching on watchthetitles.com . I looked through many films that fit our group's genre of choice, action, and I came across various numbers of movies with great title sequences. One that caught my eye was Uncharted because it is a 1 -year-old movie, and it has a very action and thrilling look to its entirety . It is clear with bright colors to contrast , bold, and eye-catching with assorted designs and activities clothing featured . Beginning before the opening sequence the Colombia logo appears on the screen amidst a bright blue sky with clouds scattered and a rainbow ring . It then transitions to a black screen that leads to a statue of a globe being held up for the atlas entertainment logo. In the opening sequence it shows the main actor falling in the sky behind a plane and this a foreshadow which is a common technique used in movies to give a taste of what is to co me. It goes to an action cut scene which goes back to the start of...

       This website is a great introduction to the art behind titles. My group decided that we would use this website as one of our resources as there were a plethora of options and styles of different title sequence examples. When clicking on this website it was immediately super easy to navigate and convenient to use when looking for specific movies and or genres. With so many different examples, our understanding of how title sequences look was much improved. We learned what a title sequence most commonly includes, and the order in which the information comes out in. This will be valuable information to us as we will use it to properly format our final task. This website had some weaknesses, some of the embeds for the video wouldn't work. However, this may have been an issue with my computer or just a temporary issue on the site. Overall, this website will be super useful for our research on titles and their conventions. It will also contribute to showing...

  This movie has extreme conventions when it relates to cars within it. Our movie can relate as we intend it to be heavily revolved around cars. With our plot being based off a mechanical life, the ability to use cars to create entertaining action scenes is important, and this movie does it very well. This movie focuses on the drivers of the spectrum and the people, but it still remains to be action packed. Some examples of conventions we like in this movie that help our specific genre are the chase scenes. In this movie, during chase scenes the editors make explosions and other crazy effects to draw the attention of the audience. Also, there are a lot of guns and violent scenes that help contribute to the genre of action. The editing of this movie makes for a very entertaining and eye-catching film. something that we saw a lot of in this movie that helped us to decide that we wanted to research it was that we found ourselves intrigued and caught on what was going on in t...

  The first genre researched was thriller. These movies always seem to keep the attention of viewers, so it seemed like a good option. These movies have become more and more popular over the last few years as well, which is another reason to use this genre.     The only issue with this genre was the difficulty in starting the title sequence. Other than this, the thriller genre seemed like a good fit for the group.   The second genre researched was action. This seemed like another great option because of the constant interest it draws. Everyone seemed a bit more interested in this genre because there were more ideas that came from it. There are more of the group's favorite movies from this genre than any other genre. This genre seemed like a better fit than the thriller genre but there was still more research to be done.  The final genre researched was comedy. This was a last resort option in case the other two didn’t work out. Comedy movies are something everyon...
