Title Research- Pearl

 The website artofthetitle.com helped me research this title.

- What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?

The first title to be shown is the company that presents the film "A24", then it follows up with the production company "A little lamb production" and who the production is in association with " Mad Solar". It also showed who the film is by "Ti West". The movie begins with the main leads name appearing along with other actors and actresses who are starred. It then goes onto mention who casted these actors n actresses, the people in charge of music, costume, the productions designer. Titles stop for a second then come back on to show director of photography, the editor who happens to be "Ti West" from before, the line producer, executive producers (some actors and actresses from the film had this part as well) , producers, and the writers who happens to be the the maker of the film and the other one being the star lead. It ends off with the title off the movie "Pearl".

 - What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? 

Childhood pictures are shown in the beginning of the film along with other family pictures showing the later dynamic that takes place in Pearls life with her parents. It also shows Pearl acting as if she is a star right before being shut back down into reality by her mother. Other scenes that are prioritized are the scenes where she is talking to the farm animals as if they are apart of this human audience. She does this while doing farm work in a aggressive manner as she does not believe this is the life for her the way her mother believes. Her using the barn and the animals show a lot for the future of the film and the storyline. 

- How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the ou

One scene that really locks this in is when Peal attacks the goose when the animal came onto the barn in the middle of the show. This indicates something is clearly not normal with Pearl as it does not phase her in the slightest. Almost as if she has done this before. She simply carries the goose all bloody in the rake she attacked him with and takes him outside to this lake and dumps him there. Showing this possibly is not her first kill nor her last, and shows what she is capable of.

Movie Conventions- Saw X

Image
  Hey lovelies!  I will be doing a research analysis on "Saw X". This is the last movie of the saw series which is known for its horrific special effects that leaves the viewer feeling squeamish. Starting off, the lighting in multiple parts of this movie is dim and tinted yellow or blue. The tinted lighting gives a rustic edgy feeling to the horror movies leaving a eerie visual for the watcher. The movie uses action matching to show the mastermind behind the movie planning his machines on a blank sheet of paper with a pencil. Action matching helps to highlight important scenes in the movie. In this scene we are seeing how John Kramer plans his machines. Throughout the movie we get to see different unique props and puzzles used, most of them being metal and rustic looking, These puzzles connect to the special effects in the movie and go hand in hand with the gore, horror aspect. The machines being shown while the person acts in panic and hysteria adds an eerie anticipation for...

Updates and Tweaks

 Hi lovies! I'm back once again with mini tweak, updates, and preferences. I have continued to experiment. I had heard different people mention things about their editing process, many have tried different platforms, changes their music or even added unique elements to really emphasize their peace. I honestly want to do the same. I want my commercial to stand out but that's as hard as it is easy. My reason for saying that is because it is easy to fall into the same category as everyone else with good pieces but I want to show out with something that screams "Habiba" without it falling into the same wavelength as other people. In simple terms I want it to be unique. I have already made some cute points and things that I think make my piece stand out but I also decided to experiment. How? Well I looked more into iMovie. I wanted to see what it offers. It was not for me as the editing became more complicating but it was interesting to see what it could do to my piece. It...

Fun Times with Filming!!

Image
 Hi lovelies! So as you all know I already started filming. I finished all my scenes with my friend who plays my love interest as he goes to a different school, we tried to get all our shots in on one day. Now all I had left where my solo shots. These were called the "bedroom shots" by my and I. These shots took place in my room as it was the most convenient with our time. My room also has a very girly teen symbolic statements, with pink posters of boy bands and cartoon and minor accessories. My partners room is also good for this but we were unable to make that plan happen. The filming took a day or too since these scenes where complicated and had a gap in between the library filming day and the day of those shots but they had to match the cuts. The acting also had to be more precise as it was more symbolic in terms of the genre, artist, and storyline. There was a lot of emotions to convey and I think i was able to capture that. I tried my best. My partner handled most filmi...
