Title Research: Parasite

Title Research: Parasite 

 

The Title Research was conducted on: Art of the Title Website 

 

  • What titles are displayed during the opening sequence? 

During the opening sequence of “Parasite,” the titles displayed are the production company, director, movie title, and a list of featured actors. This sequence occurs while we observe a seemingly less fortunate family in their home. This is assumed by the socks we see hanging to dry (rather than using a dryer) and the struggle of finding Wi-Fi to use. Their financial status is also established by their clothing, we see it is old and dirty. 

 

  • What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?  

The images we can see being prioritized in the title sequence are one’s that establish the family we see in the film are having financial struggles. This gives context and the main characters of the film and also provides some insight into the characters' personal lives. Both things will help us to understand the plot of the film.  The title sequence opens with just a black screen, followed by dirty socks drying with a busy city out of the window in the background, and then we see a family trying to get Wi-Fi. 

 

  • How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outset? 

The title sequence of “Parasite” features tension and a conflict, both of which are main elements of a thriller film, showing how the title sequence is contributing to the feeling of a thriller film. A generalized conflict we see the characters experiences is poor finances, mainly represented by having no Wi-Fi which led to the character's trying to steal their neighbors Wi-Fi. This created slight tension between the characters as we see them getting frustrated over the Wi-Fi problem.

 Its official, pre-production has officially begun! To recap the project being dealt with, Valentina, my friend and classmate, and I are making an opening sequence to a thriller. The name we chose is "What Happened Last Night" and it unravels cryptic messages linking a friend group to their secret, regretful decisions. A huge part of this opening sequence is our choice is displaying all the title's. These titles include "Produced by," "Directed by," and such. In order to display these titles in a way that establishing the movie's thriller genre, I contributed in designing items to display the titles on. This included incorporating a title on a t-shirt being removed on a clothing rack. A priority in  this production is to condense all expenses are the production team, Valentina and I, are rather low on funds. To adhere to this priority, I shopped at discount stores such as Dollar Tree and 5 Below. I found a plain t-shirt at my local dollar tree. Wit...

Fun Filming! - Finalizing filming in production

 Hey readers! I'm Jack, your editor, writing to you on expansions in production. As some of you may be aware, I am currently in the middle of production for a music video. The music video is for the song "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" by Tears for Fears. It is in collaboration with my best friends Valentina, Salome, and Francesco. Or honestly after the chaos day 1 of filming was, I'm better off saying they USED to be my best friends. All jokes of course! But going back to production, to summarize, my last update referred to my first day of filming. It wasn't the best experience and was definitely not the most productive. On the bright side, filming day 2 was a HUGE success! I invited everyone back to my house and it seems like everyone learned their lesson because to my surprise, everyone was on time! This allowed us to wrap up filming! For day 2, I continued my role as a supporting actor to Salome, the main girl. Part of filming today involved me creating th...
