The Brief.

Made a blog. My name is Adam (duh!). In my group I am working with Joe Smith and Ross Wood.







This is my continuty piece. This is a basic piece using different camera angles and shots to show the fact that the student is lower down where as the teacher is higher up.



In our group we have yet to discuss the type of genre for our opening title sequence.

I will have a look at different types of films and post what i have found.

Edit.
Looked at a few openings for some films. I looked at Kill Bill Vol.1

This film is a little confusing at first as it uses "Bang Bang" as it's opening song. This gives off the complete wrong idea as Kill Bill as a fast paced, action film. The opening credits are very slow paced and therefore gives us the wrong impression. This is a very good idea as it makes the audience want to watch straight away.




I then looked at Casino Royale

I think this has a brilliant opening credits.
The title sequence is animated which makes it more fun to watch as anything could happen. The song flows perfectly with the song and gives it the perfect effect of anticipation and anxiousness.
This invited the audience in allows them to open up to the film and accept it.





I also looked at Shaun of the Dead.

I'm not sure about this opening title sequence. It's animated but the song doesn't go very well with the sequence and it doesn't have a good flow.

Looking at these, I think a good title sequence contains three good elements. A decent soundtrack that accompany the titles and are in beat with it, a decent use of using the tiles to mkae it more interesting and less basic and a good background. If these three idead are incorporated then I think that there is the base for a very good title sequence
