Title Sequence

    The font we used is 'playfair display' as it fits best with its professional and sharp look, mirroring the business attire and seriousness of the scene. The font color used in the first part, the piano scene, is white. This is because it contrasts with the dark background, allowing the audience to read it. The same thing happens throughout the rest of the opening, color being either black or white. We kept the sequence in the bottom corners to avoid covering the events played through in the scenes. There were two moments in which there was a fade to black in which we placed the two important texts in the center. The first was to show the production company, being in white to contrast the black. The second fade, which was at the end, displayed the title. It was placed at the end to conclude the opener and start the action of the movie. The color of this font was unique, being a golden color as it is usually the first color that comes to mind of people who think of the word 'stardust'. These were placed in the center as there is no other thing happening and allows the audience to focus on the text.

Peer Reviews of First Cut Movie Opener

Image
    In the film opening, the technical element I found most enjoyable was the sound. The sound effects of ringing and odd heartbeats definitely added to the phycological suspense the film seems to focus on. The background track was a great pick, as it perfectly added to the creepy and suspenseful. The sudden straight cuts also adds to the insanity and messiness, mirroring the character.  What I found wrong with the film is the costuming of the, seems to be, therapist. Although I do recognize the attempt to make him look formal, he did not seem formal enough. The lighting  of the film was also to bright. For the idea of a suspense, the lighting should have been more darker. The scene in which the protagonist is on the computer, instead of the camera going around her, it would be better as an over the shoulder shot. I do believe that this is an opening. It properly introduces two characters without the need of background information. You are able to figure out what is ...

Evaluation of Peer Reviews

Peer Review 1: "The technical element I really liked in the opening is the drone shot that they did. It was really well done and added to the cliffhanger that was necessary to be a continuation clip. Another element of the clip I liked was the closeups of the piano, especially the shot where the piano is being opened.  There was no sound in the video, this took away from the first 40 seconds. Especially since it seems like they are focusing on the playing of the piano within that. Another element is that some shots seem to hold a few seconds too long. This can be seen with the shot at 53 seconds, it seems to hold for about two seconds then it needed to. This did look like a movie opener. This was because of the cliffhanger it was left on. Though with how sudden it was maybe it can be seen as a clip found more later in a film, overall it is a good opener. There were a few things that made me confused in the short. Most important was what was the significant of the first 40 seconds....
