Production Post of Your Choice #2

What's up blog! Tuning in for my last blog of the week. In today's blog you are going to see the process of uploading the videos we filmed from the last production post and adding our credits into those shots to make our credits sequence. Hope you guys enjoy, thank you.

Credit Sequence Part 1

Me and my group focused on the liquid mixture in the glass bowl to hint at the outbreak of the doctor's medicine, without giving everything away. The close-up feels both scientific and a little mysterious, which fits the story.  As the camera moves up you see the bubbles show something reacting or spreading. This ties right into the plot. It aligns with the plot because as the foam goes up, the audience is not sure what will happen next, creating a mindset where the viewer is trying to figure out the problem.We chose to do this shot as the opening shot for the credits because it grabs attention right away- like a hook in an essay. It took us a whole day to get these shots right since we knew the credit sequence had to be more than just cool visuals—it needed to add to the story.

 

We used the shadow of hands on the wall to show fear and anxiety. By not showing a face, the scene feels anonymous, like whatever is about to happen or whatever this person is about to do can affect someone. The movement of the putting the gloves on adds tension and makes things feel uneasy. We chose this for the credits because we want to reinforce the mystery of the outbreak without needing any graphic images. We wanted the credits to mean something, not just your traditional black screen with rolling list names, but something that will attract an audience and entice them to keep viewing.

 

This shot shows the audience the title of the movie, it develops meaning and contributes to the overall moral of the film. A mystery, everything in the film is a mystery to the point of the medicine to when Maverick is trying to find a cure. The messy desk indicates that there is a person who may have caused the crisis, which is in line with the plot with the main character trying to find a cure. The lights make it dramatic creating a serious sense of urgency. This shot was selected to formally introduce the title since it draws the audience into the investigation aspect of it. With the credit sequence being among the most difficult elements to do correctly, we took a full day to make sure that every shot, including this one, contributed to the plot and created suspense even before the main story has begun.

 

And last but not least we have the audio, I chose this audio as the sound for the credit sequence becausing it is suspenseful, yet scary at the same time. It makes the audience feel engaged and keeps them on there toes, questioning, what's about to happen?, who is about to get hurt?. This is exactly what we wanted our audio to sound like in the credit sequence.
