Location Shots

These are the bridges that we considered for our opening sequence. The first bridge was a good location because it's very quiet place which would make it easier to film and from a characters prespective no-one would suspect her attempt to commit suicide. However, the bridge was too high and therefore the audience wouldn't be able to tell excactly what is happening. The second location was a lot easier to film as it was over a railway and it put across a dangerous feel bcause it was also next to a busy road.

Initial storyboard idea for film opening.

This is our initial storyboard. We talked about our individual ideas for the project and then we put them all together into this storyboard, to give us a rough outline to what we are going to put in our opening sequence. We have made some slight changes.

Analysis of Credits & Titles

The Inbetweeners Movie

A stand out credit sequence for me is when films keep rolling the film along with the credits, just half and half of the film and credits.

Regarding the Inbetweeners movie is when they have a popular song along with the credits to keep you watching and listening at the same time. Therefore it keeps the audience engaged with the ending of the film.

Analysis of Titles

The Football Factory

This film relates to football hooliganism across Britain, and the start of this movie completely hits the niche market that the producers are attracting.

Scenes of mass football hooliganism across Britain, cut crossing with the titles of the main actors who star in the film engage the audience from the start. An intense buzzing sound playing through the sequence is even more gripping where you cannot take your eyes of the screen to see if anything major happens.

Analysis of Credits

Have You Fed The Fish - Preliminary Task

I found the Media preliminary task a joy to make, as my group of Daniel, Danny and Bailey all made a fun and decent film. My role was the main actor where I had to secretly walk to a distinctive room and meet the boss to tell him I ‘fed the fish’ As we made the film by constant takes, we eventually came up with a sequence which we could edit from there on in.

When we got into editing the movie we had to keep cutting and smoothing the video to create a fine clip of film.

I did not really help on the editing side as much as I would liked of, but I wasn’t sure of what to do and was ill for two lessons, therefore next time when my group are making our film, I would like to get involved in the editing side a lot more.

What I enjoyed about the task was at the end, when we watched the clip in `front of the whole class at the end and see them smiling and laughing at our work, showing we have met our target and achieved something. For me i enjoyed every moment making this film and cannot wait to do it again.
