Art of the Title website

I'm researching this website to help give me title ideas. The website has multiple examples of different title ideas. Including titles for my specific genre. Researching this website is helping me develop ideas for my movie titles. It is keeping my eyes open to better options/idea. It puts an image in my head of how certain fonts, edits would look. And how I would want my title to look.

My genre

I will be doing genre #2. Thriller, I feel like out of all the other genres it's the most interesting. I for one really enjoy thrillers. So It'll be easier for me to make a movie on it. I have a lot of experience with them from watching them. Thrillers are my go to genre. But unlike other thrillers I want mine to get to the point quicker.

Genre #2

Genre #2- Thriller
Camera Angles: canted angle, high angle, tilted angle, low angle, zoom, point of view
Camera Movements/ shots: close up shots, establishing shot, long shot
Mis en scene:
Costume- Naturalistic
Lighting- low level of lighting
Acting- a person in distress, the person doing the harm
Makeup- Naturalistic, makeup for injuries
Props- varies, weapons
Settings- varies but usually in a dark area, urban areas, rural area
Common editing: Jump cuts, shot reverse shot, split screen, graphic match
Sound: eerie music, silence, diegetic sound, non diegetic sound, narration
How do I feel about it?
I like the amount of suspense they build, but I don't like the amount of time it takes to get to the action 

Genre #3- Action
Camera Angles: two shot, high angle, low angle, over the shoulder, tilt
Camera movements/ shot: wide shot, medium shot, close up, long shot

genre powerpoint



During the process of making the genre power point, I was doing a lot of research. I was researching the CLAMPS of the genre. The common camera angles, camera movements, elements, lighting, sounds and example films. I tried to find pictures related to each subject. But not every subject had a good picture that correlated to it. Also during the genre project, I was still settling into the class, considering I switched into it a week prior. So, I had to get all the notes I missed to help with the power point.

Start of final task


Hi, my name is Kaylyn. You may remember me from my introduction blog. But if you don't it's ok, i'll tell you a little about me. This is my first year at Fort Lauderdale Highschool, i'm in 9th grade. I'm in the cambridge program. I graduated middle school from Parkway Middle School. I was there in the gifted program. I started high school with 6 credits. I love dogs, all breeds. When I get older I want to be either a veterinarian or a lawyer. For this project I will be working alone. But in my previous group I worked with Adrian and Alexis, they are both 11th graders.

I've learned a lot so far, a couple of things I learned is how to dump footage from a USB drive to a computer. I learned how to export footage, edit, and camera movements, camera angles, different sounds, and mis en scene. Some of the different edits are, split screen, cross cutting, dissolving, etc. Some of the different camera movements is close up, long shot, establishing shot, etc. Some of the camera angles is pan, tilt, zoom, eye level, etc. Some of the different sounds are diegetic, non diegetic, ambient, etc. I learned about mis en scence and a easy way to remember it (CLAMPS) costume, lighting, acting, make up, props and settings. I'm excited to use my editing skills in this project.

Pitch is a Hollywood term used to describe a idea for a movie. A pitch is usually 25 words or less.
My 3 Pitch Ideas:
1. Girls are having a day out. What's going to happen when they find out one of them have a stalker? Who will make it out alive?
2.  A visit to a friend's house takes a left turn after her friend tells her, her deepest, darkest secret. What was the secret?
3. A day at the park turns deadly when 2 girls realized they are being followed by a guy in a car. What does he want?




Part #2 of start of final task

The 2 pitches I narrowed it down to are:
1.  Girls having a day out. What's going to happen when they realize one of them have a stalker? Who's going to make it out alive?
2. A visit to a friend's house takes a left turn after her friend tells her deepest darkest secret. What is the secret?
Pitch 1 is good because it is a reasonable idea I can do. It's bad because most places don't allow video recordings. So the places we can go are limited.
Pitch 2 is good because it is also reasonable. But I don't think anyone would want to follow us in a car.

I'm deciding to put the 2 pitches together, I will record at a park but still have the idea of a stalker.
