Title Design and Sequence

After reviewing several opening scenes for films that fall under the sports genre, the time had come for the group to design our own title sequence. When doing this, I took into account all the things I learned during the research process. I found that there were several key features that needed to be included in the title design an sequence. The most important feature was the fact that the title design and sequence had to convey the overall mood and theme of the project. Our project is focused on the relationship between two teen boys and their different relationships with the sport volleyball. While the sport is the most important aspect of the project, there are comedic elements as it is meant for teenagers. Based on this information, the title sequence should feature fun, light hearted motifs like physical effects and fun sound.

Additionally, the title design and sequence should also reflect the intensity of the sport. To achieve this, the text will appear on the screen slowly and then quickly fly off in the opposite direction. This is to mimic the text being hit similarly to a volleyball. To further drive this home, the text will be white with gray lining like the average volleyball. The final title will appear either on a volleyball net or scoreboard.

The characters should be introduced as if the audience was reading their playing stats. We can use common motifs like Max Preps or sports based shows and websites like ESPN. Max Preps is a website for high school sports that shows the stats of players and schools. Each actor could be filmed looking straight on as their statistics and name fly past them.

At this moment in time, the title our project is undecided. There are several ideas being discussed, but we are far too early in the planning process to have a title. As the pitch develops, a fitting title will become more apparent. Depending on how long the title is, the title sequence may change. Accommodating the length of the title may prove to be a challenge, but it also grants us more opportunity to be creative with the title sequence.

On the Nice List

Upon further inspection, our footage wasn’t as bad as I described. We had a lot of salvageable shots. As a result, we are going to keep the footage we have already taken. However, we are going to go back to the park to take some simple shots to make the beginning less choppy. Thankfully, we won’t have to pay to be in the area of the park we have to film this at. Plans to reshoot went well. We got the basic shots we needed to fill out certain spots in the video. Now, it’s time to edit. We choose to split up the work between us. This was to ensure that each of us had a say in the vision for the video. Splitting the work also alleviates the burden of editing it all by one’s self. Unfortunately, the equipment I was using didn’t allow me to work with computer software to edit the video. The laptop I had was broken and unreliable, so I went back to the editing software I used in the previous project. I started by putting all the takes we took in a big project and muting each...

Now Let’s Really Plan This Out

Location: Filming at the beach would provide stunning visuals with the backdrop of the ocean and sand. The players could be shown diving and rolling on the soft sand to make intense plays. A park would offer a more relaxed and peaceful atmosphere, with trees and greenery in the background, providing a contrast to the fierce competition on the court. Filming at the gym would allow for intense close-ups of the players as they sweat and strain to make every move count, with the sounds of the game echoing off the walls. The contrast of these three locations would add to the dynamic storytelling of a volleyball movie. Participants: As the director and editor, I will be responsible for overseeing the creative vision and execution of the film. I will work closely with the other members of the production team to plan out the visual style, character development, and overall tone of the film. I will also work with the actors to ensure they understand their roles and deliver the best perfor...
