THE NEXT TEXT

IN CLASS CRITIQUE

Overall, Dora did a good job finding appropriate film title sequences and explaining her selections. Her favorable film title sequence ‘Extreme Dating’ depicts an unusual typographic treatment using inconsistent commercial products to convey the credits of the film. Initially I felt this title sequence was merely aesthetic yet inappropriate as I had a difficult time distinguishing what ultimately this film was about. Her second selection was to be adverse. Their was barely any signs of the theme of extreme sports in the film ‘Extreme Ops’; I would have never guessed the premise of this production. Dora’s revamped version was far more effective and obvious. The small utilized century gothic font and their active materialized motion generated an excited active enthusiasm. My only issue with her version was the ‘scrolling blurreing’ animation effect she applied to introduce the sequences. This type of effect would have been more useful in a science fiction film. The logo she constructed for the film was her strongest point. The font, colors, and minimal distortion applied communicated an extreme sports image.
