Final opening sequence

Story Board

Story Board 

We have created a story board because it will help us visualise our 2 minute opening sequence. It will help us determine what shots we need, at which angles. We have drawn out 30 different shots, trying to add as much detail as possible, so when it comes to filming it will be quicker and easier because we already have a plan of what we need to do.

When we were filming our sequence we found the storyboard really helpful because it helped us organise the order of which we needed to shot. We had to change some of our shots because they were to difficult to film. But in general we followed our storyboard. 

Opening Sequence Titles

We have found a number of suitable fonts to use for the titles when they appear during the opening sequence. They all have a 'typewriter' like theme where the edges of letters are jagged and uneven. The font could add to the mysterious feel we want to create for the audience.

The options we have are as follows; 

The group was also talking about transitions of the titles, where they should appear and when. We did some research for this. I had the idea of our credits coming in in a flashing/static appearance. Some inspiration from this came from the horror/crime/thriller movie Seven opening credits as shown below.

This opening uses a lot of flashy graphics to grab the viewers attention. I feel that this is the type of title sequence and effect on the audience we want. To create the title sequence we are using 'Motion' which the group feel would be better and give us more control creatively.
