Title Research: Glass

Art of the Title

The opening sequence shows the production company in charge of the film. It shows the company that works with distributing the movie. Then it shows the title of the film. The film then starts to show the actors playing in the movie. The sequence then starts to name the people who helped cast the film, as well as the director. It showed who was in charge of music, costuming, editing, photography, then the producers. 

The opening sequence starts off with a recap. this film is a sequel, so it begins by introducing the main character of the original. Later on, it introduces some of the other characters. It builds the moment by showing background events that lead to the appearance of the next potential main character. 

The first clip of the man speaking to the girls can allow us to assume that the man has some sort of psychological disorder. The way he is acting all calm and friendly in this situation tells us that whatever his issue is will be part of the main plot. The scene of the hooded figure inside of the house, to some people, can be a symbol of death or justice. We can assume that one of these connotations could be true since the man came into the house and seemed to kill the two men there.

This film immediately gets the audience to ask questions, as thrillers sometimes do. It starts off by showing a man talking to girls that he possibly kidnapped. This builds suspense as the audience tries to understand why the girls may have been held captive. The next scene also takes the audience by surprise. it helps the viewer create an impression of the characters based on their actions seen in the film.

The film in itself is its own strategy. again, this movie is technically part two of the original. For people who watched the first movie and enjoyed it, seeing that there is a second movie would already make people want to wat it.

There was a lot of low-key lighting in each scene of the opening sequence. This lighting creates a dark and mysterious ambiance. A low angle was used in the first clip to portray the man in the yellow as "superior" to the girls that were tied up. The music was also a bit dramatic. This was used to emphasize the upcoming complex and strange plot.

Filming Toyota Commercial Blog

  I started filming this blog on Friday, October 30th, 2020 when my mother and I went out. I figured that since we were taking the car, I could use that chance to film some of the interior features of the car that would be showcased. Because I needed my dad for most of the other shots, I waited till the weekend to continue the filming. That Sunday, on the 31st, I didn't have the chance to go out so I decided to film the 360 view of the car that would be used in the opening of the commercial. I used a long shot to show the entirety of the car exterior. I also filmed the scene that would come after the opening on that day. This scene was of my father putting a few things into the trunk of the car. On Sunday, my dad and I took a trip to the store. This was the perfect opportunity to film him getting into and starting the car. I used a mid-shot to a long shot for this scene because this shot was mainly just to introduce the car features and the whole body of the car didn't need to

Genre Research: Final Choice

  Out of all three of the genres chosen, we decided to finally go with Drama. The reason for this choice is that a drama is simply more flexible than the others. There are so many aspects to a film that can make it be considered as a drama. On the other hand, Horror and Comedy have a big more restraint. When making a horror film, there has to be some element that “scares” the audience. Whether it is actually scary or not isn’t the point, but whether it creates a chilling atmosphere. It just didn’t really seem to fit into the prompt of our short film. We don’t want the audience to be too distracted by “not getting scared” to the point where they miss the message we are trying to send. Comedy was a little more close than horror, but again, it didn’t seem to match our story. The main purpose of comedic films is to have the audience laughing. Another, more subtle idea, would just be to have traces of humor throughout the film. However, why would we want to add comedy to a film that’s meant
