Categorising Title Sequences

1. Narrative title sequences

The titles are integrated into the moving images in some way and begins as the film itself begins. It goes straight into the plot. Inter cut, top of the screen. This might be as a long establishing shot. Getting the audience straight into the film.

2. Discrete title sequences
The titles are integrated into the moving images but it is not entirely clear about what the films plot/story line is about. this kind of title sequence helps to set the tone and gives what could happen later in the film. This type of title sequence is common when the film doesn't want to give anything away.

3.Stylized title sequences
The title sequence are integrated with filters, animations and visual effects. The can be a mixture of the other 2 sub categories in terms of what we see. However the moving images and the credits have been stylised (using filter , motion etc) to create a combined effect. 

My preference out of the 3 is narrative because i prefer to not about what I'm about to see. 

Making a website

Making the website i had to look at other film websites for inspiration and things to avoid, I noticed it was almost essential to have your film cover / poster involved in the home page. The image above isn't a high school film yet has a very clean look and is clear to navigate around.

For our own i will involve the poster on the home page then the option to watch the opening on the second page.

Production: Feedback

While our opening sequence has improved a great deal, we still face the issue whereby the music doesn't build up as well as it maybe should.

Another thought that our titles went on for too long, they were 5 seconds long, we will now shorten them to two seconds.

Furthermore, we were told the font was too boring and that we needed something more stylised. I made a point that the Disney Channel movies that we are modelling our sequences from have very plain fonts. We may, as a result of this, challenge Disney's ideas though we may just conform.

In terms of the film itself, we were told there were no extreme issues and that it is a well filmed and edited video.

Feedback from Marisa on final piece

After Marisa watched our clip : 

One thing she commented on was that the intro clips were too long, so we clipped the shots down from 5 seconds to 3 seconds.

Another comment she added was that the music was too constant as the scenes were building up tension the music should match , we will work on the music to match the tension of the scenes.

One more thing she commented on was the font in out opening, she said it as too plain and boring which i agree with so we looked for a slightly more stylised look for the font.
