 Today was the second and last day to edit my commercial. I was very excited to put the final touches and finally get this project completed. The last two issues to conquer in our editing process was the time and the slogan. First, my partner and I had to find a way to trim 17 seconds off. I began by trimming the unnecessary seconds in the beginning and end of some takes. There was so much excess because we wanted to make sure nothing was cut out, so we started the shot about 2 seconds earlier and ended the shot 2 seconds later. This, however, did not suffice and we were down to only about 38 seconds. Then, I suggested taking out certain scenes that were not necessary to the story. For instance, I took an extra scene of the boy walking to his seat. I decided this wasn't needed because we have a close-up shot and tracking shot that also shows the boy walking to his seat.

Title Design Research: Killer Klowns from Outer Space

Image
For my title design research, I watched the opening sequence to Killer Klowns from Outer Space. 1. How many titles are displayed during the opening sequence of the film? Which ones? There were 21 titles in total. These titles included Production companies Actors The title of the movie Music producers Casting directors Associate Producers Special effects Editors Art director Production designers Director of photography Writers Executive producers Director 2. What connotations do the images carry? The title sequence opened with images of people at a popular dining spot. There are a bunch of teenagers having fun and enjoying themselves. The bright lights and fun colors give the viewers feelings of amusement and youth. The environment then transitions into being more shady and dark. It shows a few teenagers in a secluded area and underage drinking. The mood is more chill and makes the audience feel like they are up to no good. The darkness is also unsettling and adds a bit of suspense. Las...
