Howdy Guys and Gals,
here's another fun task for you - As Mathias suggested in the "Graphic Novel Style Elements" task, we've decided to go all Tarantino on y'all and divide the film into chapters.
This is really cool as the charts displaying each chapter's title are "splattered in" with ink dots and paint strokes. Those blots and stroke then remain on some part of the image for the next two to three shots after the chapter slate. A real nice effect and rather innovative (at least that's what we think hehhe).
To make the whole thing even more artsy and fun, we've decided to use movie titles as names for the chapters. Examples could be "First Blood", "Lady In The Water", "Heartbreak Kid" and so on and so on.
Now we're looking for your ideas! What are the best titles of well-known movies that also work as descriptions for a story segment? In the best case, they should also have a western-feel to them, but without being actual western titles. Calling a chapter "For A Fistful Of Dollars" for example would be a little bit to cheap, but "There Will Be Blood" would be okay I think...
Alrightie then.... let's hear your ideas :D
Here is some movie titles that could fit here..I think. :)
Hard to kill
Marked for death
Out for justice
On deadly ground
Half past dead
Out for a kill
Today you die
Against the dark
Driven to kill
A dangerous man
Yes, all of these titles are taken from Steven Seagal movies. One of my idols. :)
Another bunch of titles.
No retreat, no surrender
Death warrant
Nowhere to run
In hell
Until death
a view to a kill
The expendables
When hell broke loose
The untouchables
The fugitive
Soldiers of fortune
Death wish
Act of vengeance
Messenger of death
you only live twice
edit:
-license to kill
-from china with love (orginally "from russia...")
the last shot was set twice by mistake.
Funny, the trailer for the upcoming superhero parody "Kick-Ass" features ink blots that almost look like the ones we did... Okay theirs look more like vectorised illustrations while we REALLY splattered paint on cardboard... yeah I know that's old-school but that's just what Snowblind is hehhe ;P
Anyway, the way they animated is is also almost exactly like ours. Doesn't matter as I guess you can't trademark splattering paint and anyways Snowblind will be finished way before Kick-Ass... I HOPE ^_^
So maybe we should use the name "Kick-Ass" as a chapter title too, hehe... No, I guess we won't. But we still need some more great movie titles that can work as chapter headlines so get those brain-gears into motion, people :D
...what about
-enemy at the gates
-grapes of wrath
-army of darkness
-no weddings but a funeral (okay, I made this up)
but a song title
Profit of Doom (type o negative)
Under my Wheels (alice cooper)
Inside four Walls (nevermore)
propably not what you are looking for. but i love those songs and imo the titles are worth to be mentioned here because they might fit for several scenes.
edit:
well,then
bad place alone
raped and freezin'
cold machines
love's a loaded gun
(all by alice cooper)
Lonely Hearts Killers
Stand by me
ways of honour
EDIT:

The new Steven Seagal films aren't that good but they are a good company with couple of beers. :P
Yeah there are really a lot of great ones among them... Even if some of the films aren't THAT good ;P I still think Steven Seagal has it going so I try to defend him from bashers every time I can. Sure he's put on some weight but I'm pretty sure he could ice any of those haters in the blink of an eye. After all, Aikido isn't about running up walls or anything ;-)
BTW what's pretty funny is, in Germany the film "On Deadly Ground" is called "On Burning Ice" (translated back to english from the German "Auf brennendem Eis"). This would be great for Snowblind of course, but we can't use it cause it's not a real title ^_^
