What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? Each image was unique and added to the opening sequence.

Even though I already researched one website, I am looking at another one to get more information. Information and extra details that the first website didn't mention. I need as much information as possible in relating to titles for my task. It is important for me to have a good amount of knowledge on the making and decisions needed to take when I do my title. Music or some type of sound is added to the titles. Most tend to be done on a solid color background. There are some other films that involve images relating to the movie. Also, some are very colorful but, it does depend on what the movie is about. The title screen is very important in catching attention. It is the first thing people see before watching the movie so it means that it has to look really nice and has to be an attention getter. 

I am researching this website because I need to learn about making titles. For example, I need to learn how to make the title fit with my task. I know nothing on making titles and the process of it so, researching is necessary to make a great title. During a quick glimpse of the website I saw many different ways titles were portrayed. Some had all the letters capitalized while others only had the first letter of each word. I quickly learned the the main basic way of styling a title is at the center of the screen and in all capitals. The color of the words need to be a contrasting color making it pop out on the screen. Titles also tend to be on an all black background or a dark color like red, navy blue, or even gray. From looking through many titles I learned also that the image that the title is going to be on is important. Many movies have an image that shows a glimpse of the movie or gives a hint to what the movie is based about.

    I decided that my film will be opening with the thriller genre. I researched this topic and it fits my pitch. Most thriller movies i've seen tend to go hand in had with other genres. For example horror or crime genres are also involved. But, I will base my opening scene on just the thriller genre even though there will be some hints of another genre. I will base it as much as possible to the thriller genre. Since, the costumes I was planning on using relate to cartel style I will have to avoid as much as possible making it learn towards crime. I came to the conclusion of choosing thriller for a specific reason. The reason to which why it was chosen was because it was going to end with a cliffhanger of kidnapping. Kidnapping is very tense and suspenseful. When I researched this genre I saw that some elements were tension, suspension, danger and excitement. The mafia dressing also brings suspense to the film. The reason for this is because the viewer will already imagine cri...

My first pitch: A powerful mexican cartel head bosses kid gets kidnapped. My second pitch: A prestigious business owners daughter gets killed on her wedding day. For the official choosing, I choose the first pitch. I will be basing my film on a mexican cartel boss who kid got kidnapped. I love watching telenovelas which are known as soap operas. This especially inspired me on what my film will be about because my favorite type of telenoveles are narco ones. Also, since I love these type of films so much I decided to make my own film. I am also mexican so I could've found any better theme for my film. The pitch I choose will also be easier than the other one. The reason for me thinking that is because the story of the first pitch is much more easier for me personally to film since I know about the subject. The whole filming process would be easier for me. Especially figuring out the setting for the film in the first pitch would be a lot easier then the second one. Also, the second p...

I was born in south Florida and have lived my whole life down here. Even though I have lived my who life in Florida there is a part of me that wants to move to Texas. I want to move to Texas because it reminds me a lot of Mexico and I am always at my happiest when I am in Mexico. Both of my parents were born in Mexico so, i'm mexican-american. I love traveling to mexico and I actually just came back from Mexico a month ago. I played soccer every year for my school but this year I wasn't able to.

I decided to take AICE Media not only for the credit but because I enjoy watching movies and learning how its done seemed cool to me. Actually gaining the experience ...
