  with the first paper, it shows the setting and where our movie begins, alex introduces noah to the friend group at the beach and dalilah begins to show an interest. Dalilah explains to her friends how she thinks noah’s attractive while the boys went to play. The girls try to convince dalilah to make a move but she won’t and gets up to play with the guys. The girls talk to Alex and the group sets the two up. Noah and Dalilah’s montage of dates begins and shows the time they’ve spent together over the summer. The montage continues to this page and ends when Noah has a final, wholesome conversation with Dalilah. Noah hands Dalilah the handwritten note while they’re having their talk and makes sure to tell her to open it the next morning. They share a kiss goodnight and she gets home, putting the note on her nightstand. As she wakes up, she grabs the note from the night before and begins to read. Her heart dropped.

Hello Bloggers! Welcome back! The opening credits of the film will be written into the sand and then it will be washed away. The credits will appear on different objects throughout the shots. The credits will also appear in the background of shots. Working title: The Sun-Kissed Goodbye  The title captures the essence of the bitter-sweet goodbye between the two lovers during summer. "Sun-Kissed" adds a warm touch or feel. For the title, we would write in the sand the working title. The plan is to have the water wash away the title and then the camera steers to the characters in the starting scene. The opening titles will show on random objects and whenever characters are on the screens. The titles will pop up and disappear as the shot changes. The font color will change based on the background. The size, font, and color will change based on the object. That's all for today! Until next time!

  Hello! Welcome back! Today, I'll be going over the information for our final task. Location Our group will be recording at the beach, one of our houses, the park, inside of a car, and little shops around areas like ice cream stores and such. These places such as the beach are perfect because our movie timeline takes place during the summer in Florida where many people's activities during the season are based around the beaches and pools. That would tie into places like the little shops since many like to go get ice cream or go into stores along the beach to get souvenirs and more. We chose the park since it would portray the idea of "going out on small dates/ hanging out", same with rides in the car. We aren't exactly sure if we'll use some other places to film yet due to the distance and schedule. Participants as of right now: Actors: Dalilah Cardoza (The main character playing the girl in the relationship) Noah Barron (The main character playing the boy in

Title Research: Watch the Titles Website & Art of the Title Website

Hey there bloggers, Happy New Year! It has been a while since I last shared with you guys. Today we started our research on the title websites we were provided to plan out our titles for this. I began by looking up how to learn more about title sequences online and found a ton of things, but none of them seemed to have enough information to back up the amount of research that would be required. That is until I discovered "Art of the Title" and "Watch the Titles", two websites. We are looking at these websites because they're able to provide us quick access to hundreds of title sequences in which we can see and learn about the contrast, font, and size aspects along with the movement and placement of words as well as the length of time they are displayed. Because of how well-organized these websites are, we can quickly discover the information we need to conduct useful research without wasting time looking through all of the various title sequences to find one tha
