Title Research

In her shoes
·         Titles have contrasting- relation to characters? Colours- red and yellow.
·         Track played throughout, no lyrics quite a modern feel.
·         Second name comes in red and backwards but sorts itself out- relation to characters?
·         Two clips introducing characters- contrasting content
·         We see a pair of black high heels and a pair of mens shoes relation to title of film?

Love actually
·         Bright picture opening title sequence symbolises harmony and peace- relation to title?
·         Classical music
·         Examples of love shown in clip of different ages, races etc.
·         Voice over talking about love and includes the setting that we see ‘Heathrow airport’
·         ‘Love is actually, all around’ relation to title
·         Titles all have first letter in red- relation to title where ‘love’ is in red followed by actually in white.
Love and basketball
·         Simplistic
·         Acapella voice singing ‘love and happiness’ as first words –relation to the title carries on in acapella
·         First title is ‘ First Quarter’ – relation to basketball/ high school theme music comes in fully after this title
·         Clips start straight into film sets scene characters, music over top
·         Few minutes in, ‘Love and basketball’ in handwriting appears on black screen, a heart looking like a basketball appears next to it in red the sound of a basketball going in the net is heard- Relation to title
A lot like love
·         ‘7 years ago’ first and only title for a while –sets time
·         Sound of aeroplane taking off is heard, this proceeds shot
·         Film begins with naturalistic sounds.
The Holiday
·         Piano melody we hear is actually being played by a character- introduction to character
·         What we see is almost a trick, it zooms out and is actually on the characters monitor
·         Voice over begins narrative and introduces characters within the narrative
·         What we see now matches what’s being said

Yesterday in class, we pitched our ideas to the class and teacher.
Originally, I thought I would be doing a thriller, after the day at the BFI (which I found very useful) I had an idea that wouldn't budge from my mind. Although everybody was saying that thrillers don't gain the greatest marks due to their lack in originality, I was sure that my idea was different. However, the idea was so strong in my mind that if I wasn't able to create it practically, I would be disappointed. For this reason I chose to do a more lighthearted romantic comedy.
