tittle reserch (horror) the evil dead

 

When I was on artofthetitle.com I was searching for another and my final horror movie to do I was able to find an old movie that was loved by many people in the past that being the evil dead. The evil dead is a movie that I remember watching as a very young child that was not ready to view this very adult movie, but I enjoyed it especially the way that the title was shown.

1.     What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?

It begins with a regular old credit sequence that is made in read blood like colored title and then after that it zooms up the tittle sequence when we se the movies name the evil dead. It’s the way that the word and letters are done that is good it has visual style with the regular words being very normal while some letters look like they are a lake. The dark desolate fog filled swamp it the looks at all the dark wood in the area doing a shot like the camera is in the perspective of a snake at the beginning becoming more like a bug. For a film that is old the way that it was able to do what it did was very impressive it did a well job at establishing the atmosphere making the movie seam dark. As well as how they were able to make the setting look much much better and where able to explore it well with such a small time of it showing on screen it was great.

 .     What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?

The dark desolate fog filled swamp it did well when prioritizing that aspect of the entire scene because of how the setting impacts what is going to happen in the movie. And then it moves to the car in where the audience can piece together that some bad accident had happened giving the movie the best start that I can without any dialogue. 

3.     What connotations do these images carry?

4.     A swamp is associated with water as well as a lot of plants and animals but people who research and know about nature but for Halloween it is known for things such as witches. It is known for witch’s witchcraft, magic more specifically dark magic and many more horror type themes that is why the images in the films work well for this type of movie.  In the movie the fog was used to give the movie a more mysterious edge and that is basically what fogs connotation is basically how it adds a lot more mystery. Giving questions on to what will happen? what is behind the fog/ the problem? what will the story be? How will they will get out this this problem etc. In the end it works well for this movie. Its hard to see through and causes problems for the people who are in it it is perfect for creating mystery and suspense and is a great element inside a great horror movie.

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

 The fact that it begins with the use of a lot of fog giving it a mysterious tone filled with potential danger as well as it having a read bloody title help it gain the horror type fell the movie is trying to give. And as I say the fact the film also as elements of witches and witchcraft thanks to the food that might be reminiscent  of cauldron smoke and the swamp that could be a reference to witches themselves that is how they make it look like it belongs in the horror genre for it trying to be scary.

 

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

 Its target audience are horror fans o it displays the horror theme by connecting its movie with the horror genre right away my making the title theme look like flowing blood. It also refences swamps an environment know for the witches that are said to live in the area that the beginning scene is set in so basically it works just like that it is very simple.

How has technology been used effectively? You want to consider camera angles, transitions and editing techniques

 They most likely used fog machines in the movie to make sure that they can do the opening in a way to have enough of a good impact when they brought in the title screen as well as to make the environment look good. They also did the camerawork in a great way having it move around for the audience to take in the entire setting it works very well thanks to the way they moved the camera.

filming and editing: visiting a friend and not that much progress

Hello, my name is pascal bazile and I am currently telling you about events that have happened during the time where I was not writing a blog, I have made almost no progress during the time in where I was not blogging about anything. Right now, I will explain my awful circumstances and as to why I made no progress thanks to how I kind of had to go somewhere because of my sister wanting me to go to a friend’s house to relax. It was something that I wanted to do I also thought it would be a great place to go to film extra locations if I can only stay for a short time. Sad to say that I went there and then overslept throughout the night when I was trying to film things, I wanted to do the scene in where I am walking across the street while someone else was following me. I wanted to do this because of how that area looks like a great place to film the scene and that it would be good for me because it was much easier to see in that area. With this notion I sadly remembered that while I brou...

This blog will show that I made a lot of progress during the past few days and right now I will do my best to share that progress with you at this current moment so here is what I did. So, to start in my old blog it discussed the idea that I was not able to get a good mask for my sister when me and my family went shopping around so I ended the entire blog at that moment.

  Hello, my name is pascal bazile I am currently in my last week to complete my assignment, so I decided to hurry up with my filming as well as my editing and I think that I have done well enough to get a lot done. I was able to do things that will get me a lot of progress I only need to film some more scenes and then I will need to edit in some music during some scenes to be done. I started by filming the scenes that where the least important the one in where I would film the food that I made after microwaving it and a scene in where my killer holds his knife waiting to strike. I was able to store some of my new scenes to make them have more of my credits I had some more free space to add credits so that is what I was able to do in the end. I was able to also film the shots in where the victim sees his opened computer and walks towards it as well you know all the easy to do shots in my blog. It was hard to do and I did not exactly get all of those shots in but in the end I was abl...
