Right now, my film's working title is "Girl in Pixels." This will represent the combination of video game pixels and the human aspect of the main character, Katy. Most of the credits will be embedded into the setting, such as near fences and around the main character.     An example would be "Produced by Miller Productions" placed on a fence as Katy walked by. I will be using the font    PRESS START. The colors will either be black or white in order to contrast with the background. As they come onto the screen, they will be typed on. As they go off the screen, they will turn red and fade off the screen. LIKE THIS Titles will fade off after 2 to 3 seconds. The spacing will remain single-spaced throughout the titles.  Most everything will be in caps besides "a" and "by." I want the titles to look similar to a video game. As the move off the screen, I want them to feel like a "GAME OVER" screen in a video game. Name of studio: CinnaFil...

 What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? This title sequence actually starts with the title of the movie and is a bit of a way into the movie. Instead of being at the very beginning like some of the other movies I've watched in this genre, this title sequence is at the end of the opening minutes. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? There is lots of imagery of church and the catholic school Lady Bird attends. There is lots of religious imagery and actions. There are many shots of Lady Bird's peers and then similar shots of Lady Bird doing something different or wrong.  What connotations do these images carry? These images are quite strict and heavy. Every image is showing a practice that must be done a certain way. If done incorrectly, even by accident, it could be grounds for getting in trouble, especially at a catholic school. Most of the focus is on Lady Bird, who seems to march by the beat of her own drum. Her not participating in some of th...

 What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? I liked the ups and downs of the movie. They changed in subtlety depending on what subject the movie was talking about. Going from very obvious in a relationship breaking up to very subtle when dealing with family matters. Moreover, the music helped bring the suffocating yet loving feel Lady Bird had towards Sacramento. It left the audience just the right bit of confused and empty, while allowing love and admiration to seem through. What elements of the genre did the movie that you like? I loved the film's ability to show time passing. I think it was interesting that letters and college acceptance, along with dances and holidays were used to show it.

It helped bring everything together and show how Lady Bird's life had changed as she experienced new things. I love...

 What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? I loved the tension switch throughout the movie, There were many different things going on that made the story come along and make the movie deeper.

I also loved how the music flowed with what was going on, with it being digetic and non-digetic at points. ...
