Font: The font style that I decided to go with for my film was ariel, I went with this because as one of the fonts because it is bold and larger than other fonts. Another one I went with was Georgia. I went with this one because it gives a formal tone to the font and allows the reader to realize that this is a bit more soft, formal, and serious.  Examples: Ariel: This is Arial font Georgia: This is Georgia font Contrast: The titles will be either black or white. The reason for this is because the film will majority have color and not much black and white so it will always show compared to the background of the film. The size of it will be 20pt font so it doesn't take up most of the screen at the time but does allow the reader to be able to easily understand the title.  Example:  This is a Car  Working Title: At this point, I believe the title of my film will be Mission Electric. I think this is a good title because of what is going on throughout the film and it describes the point

Today's task was to see what the title of my film would be called. I have had many thoughts on what I feel it should be called this far but nothing so far has stuck out to me and made me feel that it must be called that. I need to quickly find a title so I am able to show my work to others with a name that they can call it by when the time comes. A title I feel can set the entire mood for a movie. If the movie has a good title it can attract more people to watch it. When my teacher said to me that I needed to work on finding a title this week I got excited because I really wanted to have a good name for a while. I feel that a title can make someone looking for something to watch get connected to a show or movie and be more likely to watch it. I was so excited when he said we could do this but I did not know where to start. I kept trying to find some different ideas by looking at the items that I would be using when filming or I would be able to use to help me come up with a title.

After researching many different types of genres that I thought would be a good fit for my film, I had to choose which one would be best for my film.

Another reason I chose adventure is that I felt that it was the best fit for the pitch that I chose. It would allow me to bring my idea to reality without having to structure it to include specific things. I felt that my pitch connected with this genre the most because it was the most flexible and not as structured as other genres. It allows me to not change anything I have as an idea so far for my film. One of the genres I thought maybe a good choice for my film was thriller. Thriller did not seem like a good fit for my pitch because it was too much excitement and engagement for the idea that I have for my film. I felt that my film was going to have a more formal or serious tone so I felt thriller wasn't the best. I also had a gu
