Analysing title sequences

Name of film: Forest Gump

Task 42: Evaluation of the pitch

I think in terms of presenting, it went well. We got through the presentation with no problems. However, I think we could have included more detail and involved things we did in our blogs into our presentation. This would have ensured that we would have included everything we need. We need to have a storyboard to show that we definitely know what we are doing exactly. We also need a production schedule because we need to know when the group are planning to meet up and where they are planning to film.

I focused on the film and the brief concept of our whole film and opening sequence. I think I could have made it clearer. I have an image in my head on how I want it to be but when I go to speak about it, it becomes more difficult to explain and harder to perceive.
I also focused on the titles and was able to get templates on what I want it to look like e.g. font size, colour and styles. I also focused on the representation and the fact that we are going to show elements different cultures and social lives. We are following the stereotypical elements of the two opposite social classes. Another thing I did was the titles. This is could show show many things.

Task 41: Pitch Feedback

A few things that haven't been included in the actual pitch presentation are on our blog. For example: type of title sequences, props and titles.

Task 39: Storyboard for our opening sequence

Pitch 14) Technology Skills Audit (Leilani)

In the past we have used Premiere Pro and After Effects. From this Adobe Software we learnt how to edit, cut and order the footage that we filmed in Premiere Pro. Once the first cut of the clip was made we learnt how to add text, colours and interesting graphics by using After Effects. Premiere Pro also allowed us to add music to our clip as a background noise and as the focal sound of the clip.

The Adobe Software has enabled us to plan our title sequence according to what is available to us. To reinforce the British Crime genre, we are planning on adding music to our sequence in order to create a more serious feel.

Pitch 13) Risk Assessment (Leilani)

Risk Assessment:

In the process of filming our title sequence we shouldn’t encounter any major risks.

In order to avoid the general risks of filming in public places we would need to pack away all equipment safely when travelling to and from filming locations.

Pitch 10) Title Credits (Cherise)

a. & c. I think our title credits will be integrated into our scenes. They will be bold white text for the title of the film. For the cast and crew, the text will also be white but the size will be smaller.

Ideas for title text:

I made this first one on the http://cooltext.com.

I made this second one on Microsoft Word. The font is Times New Roman.

For normal credits, it will be in all capitals and might also be in Times New Roman.

In the actual opening scene, it will not have that grey background.

b. The cast such as actors/actresses will match their characters on screen hopefully. But most of all, they will probably be placed where they aren't in the way of the action. They might be put in the corners of the screen. The film title will be put in the middle of the screen so the viewers will remember it.
