Title Research: She Dies Tomorrow

 The Research: She Dies Tomorrow


    This title sequence is for the horror film "She Dies Tomorrow". I used the website https://www.artofthetitle.com/title/she-dies-tomorrow/ to research the title sequence of the film. 

1. What titles are displayed during the opening sequence?

        - During the opening sequence the title of the film is shown in the middle of a scene. It is abruptly included in the middle of a calm scene and cuts in with extravagant music and a tense atmosphere before returning to a calm atmosphere. 

2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?

        - The prioritized image is the title's name in very big bold colored letters with a black background. The conflicting colors are used to enhance every aspect of the title sequence and pique the interest of the audience before the following scenes continue. 

3. What connotations do these images carry? 

        - This image has a very vibrant yet tense connotation. The non-diegetic sound used causes a quick and sudden change in the tone of the film. This starts the suspenseful watch of the audience and sets a strong tone for the film to follow. Although there are many horror elements the connotations found in the title sequence is suspense and tenseness.  

4. How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset?

        - The drastic change in colors and sound used in the scene to the title sequence prepares the suspenseful elements that come with horror conventions. Horror is surrounded by people being scared, full of suspense, and uneasy while watching. The abrupt cut from the scene into the title sequence sparks the uneasy feeling that will be fueled as the film continues. 

5. What strategies are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience? 

        - The film follows the genre in its own way is done to ensure the targeted audience gets what they expected and even more. People watched this film for a sense of horror. The title sequence gives the audience the feel of suspense and interest in the rest of the film. 

6. How has technology been used effectively?

        - Technology has been used effectively in that title sequence with the usage of colors in the words. A black background is used to go along with common conventions of a horror film, but the vibrant color of the words sparked suspense in the audience. Technology is used when the colors in the letters of the title are changing creating a subconscious suspenseful, and eerie feeling.  Instead of just a static title the title appears to be distinctive yet flowing with color.

All About Me

  All About Me     Hi, my name is Vanessa Gilbert and I am a sophomore this year at Fort Lauderdale Highschool. I live at home with my mom and dad, and I have a sister who lives in college. I love all animals, and in addition to my family members, I have a dog names biscuit and two cats named rainbow and teddy who live at the house and are basically family. My favorite class in school is usually science but this year I am excited for a couple of my classes too. I especially am excited for AICE Media because I have always been really interested in movie making and how the idea of a movie comes together. Besides going to school most of my time is taken up by softball which is something I have played and loved since I was 4 years old. I play travel softball for a team in plantation and I played for the high school team last year too as a catcher. Softball takes up almost all of my time after school with practices and going to tournaments on the weekends but I still have a gr...

Comparing 9, The Short, and 9, The Full Length Movie

Comparing 9, The Short ,and 9, The Full Length Movie Short Film  Today I watched the short film 9. This is a seven-minute-long animated short film. I really enjoyed watching this short film. The characters were really unique. I honestly liked the rag doll's appearance of some and the robotic appearance of others. The setting was also very unique and cool. It had a post-apocalyptic feel and somewhat reminded me of Wall-e. The sound is what really made an impact on me most though. There was no dialogue in the short film. The only sound really heard is diegetic and score. The lack of sound helped set the mood of the short film a lot. It made moments feel more scary and suspenseful. The sound of the robotic spider characters made me feel as if I was inside the film. The plot was interesting too. The main character is a rag doll-like with a 9 on its back. 9 seems to have had a mentor or a friend in the past. 9's friend has the same appearance but with a 5 instead of on its back. The...
