Choosing the title of my film opening

The working title for the time being has been Educating love, since I believed if made into a feature length film the two main characters would be in full time education and it would be a good play on the plot line of the film. However from the feedback that I have received from my target audience it suggested that the main characters are dressed as if they are going to work, therefore a title to do with education would not be suitable. I deliberate with my media class and we came up with the name 'Winter'. This could be because one of the characters is called winter or the season winter is tied into the story line somehow.

Fonts for my title sequnce




Easy A - Will Gluck (2010)
I really like the opening of Easy A. The font of the title sequence is very simple but the transitions of each name is very complex, interwoven in the shot of the film opening.
This has given me inspiration to make the fonts of my title sequence simple much like Easy A, which is the same genre as my film opening. 

New Questionnaire

I did a small questionaare just to find out what my target group thought about the new film opening idea.

Non-diagetic music ideas

While looking for a good song to put unto my film opening, I did some research and found that most romantic comedy films, have folk music in them. This is a aspect that I have not noticed before, for example....




Therefore I have decided to put a folk song unto my film opeing

This gave me the inspiration to put a folk song onto my film opening.

FILM REVIEW- 'Joy'

Joy- David O. Russel (2015)




A true story about Joy Mangano, a single mother of two whose invention of the self-wringing 'Miracle Mop' helped make her a millionaire 50 times over.
This being the third film the Jennifer Lawrence and director David O. Russell have done together, the firsts being 'Silver Linings Play Book' and 'American Hustle', as a viewer you come to expect the dry humor and slightly unconventional tone and story lines of the films.
Lawrence gives a strong performances, that captures the the heart warming, and difficult rage of emotions of the character she plays, however I personally think that that it is the least captivating character of the three she has played under David O. Russell's direction.
overall i enjoyed the film, however there where some point where the story line dragged on, however Lawrence performance was strong and worthy of the Best actress nomination by the Oscars.
