Evaluation - Question 5
During filming the interview with Dominic Sesto, made me realised that our title sequence is really engaging for the audience. this is because what we achieved, our interviewee noticed i thought it was very catchy. The mise en scene would attract our audience because the dark clothing managed to create the impression that Abdul's character in the title sequence is a lonely and sad person.
The rough cut feedback that Marisa gave us was very helpful to us because the positive and negative feedback allowed us to improve our project. she told us that the match cuts that we done were spot on and that it looked seamlessly which was quite good to hear. Also she told us that the tracking shot, that we thought was shaky was actually okay, this helped us because it allowed us to stop worrying about it and move on. This gave us confidence to push forward and finish off our title sequence.
However we did we receive some criticism for example she told us that we have to redo shots because it looked unprofessional.
We created a twitter page to get it viral and noticed on a social media platform
Due to other interviews, i briefly asked what they liked about my title sequence and they said they liked the tense build up just before ben sees the dead person. Because some of the scenes are quite suspenseful it would attract the older public.
Evaluation - Question 6
A prezi further explaining the technologies that I've used an learnt through the process of constructing it to the full product.

Production EXT - Branding our blog
We branded our blog by several social medias, for example we created a twitter page as well creating a website at this link http://www.wix.com/.
This is because we wanted to get our film to spread out and bee noticed by people to view.

Extension Research- Who makes the title sequence?
Dan Perri
Dan Perri is a very experienced film and television title designer who has in the occupation for over 30 year. he has created for over 400 films including the fomous Star Wars, Airplane and also Taxi Drive.
Dan Perri had a good relationship with the director (George Lucas) of star wars IV. This was very important because this allowed to be the designer of the titles which were widely praised for his great effort. without George Lucas the owner of Lucasfilm selecting Perri to design his title they would be praised for their titles. this suggest that they had a good relationship because George trusted Perri's capabilities.

Planning- institutional detail
The film will be an independent production as its a low budget film.
Film4 would our distributor because they have been the distributor of many UK independent films like Attack The Block and The Inbetweeners.
Also, Studio Canal have produced many UK independent films too like Attack The Block and because are film is your similar will thought it would be a great fit to have them as our production company.
If we had a big production company to help us produce the title sequence that we want to make our type of titles and credits we would have much better effects.
As our film is an independent film we don't have much choices of effects we would like to use.
Planning Extra - The Basics of our title sequence
What is the name of our film?
The title of our film is Visions
What's is it about?
The film is about a young boy called Ben Midddles who has a mental illness that is rare in society. He claims he is able to see how people will die but unfortunately he's the only one that is able to do that. His mother becomes increasingly worried and takes her son to the doctor for her to get an idea of how to treat him.

He claims he is able to see how people will die but unfortunately he's the only one that is able to do that. His mother becomes increasingly worried and takes her son to the doctor for her to get an idea of how to treat him.
The doctor tries to convince her to send him to St. Anns mental asylum. The mother disagrees as she still sees him as a little baby that needs protecting.
She tries to help her son alone at home which has serious consequences for her.
Outline of the title sequence
The outline for the opening sequence is that the mother and a doctor having a conversation about Ben - confiding for advice and support. We see the boy noting in a book recording all the deaths that he has seen. We then see him in a classroom separated from other students as he's a person that isn't liked by his peers.

Then he is in a park and sees a person die and he finds out it was just a vision that will occur and the title sequence ends with the boy writing in his notebook.
Extension - What is the purpose of a film opening?
The purpose of a film opening is to reveal the cast members as well as the crew that were involved in the making of the film. This is used to promote the actors or even the roles of the production team. Furthermore the institutions is also broadcasted/advertised which suggests to the audience if the film is a big budget company or a less budget company. (Paramount & Warp Films) respectively. This is also to set the tone of the film.
Thomas Sutcliffe says "Films need to seduce their audience into long term commitment" meaning that, the title sequence is to fully engage the audience for them to be constantly watching the film. Also it's to allow the audience to stop what they're doing and to revert to watching the rest of the film. Thomas also means that the title opening should always be 'irresistible' interesting so it can entice the viewers so well they have a high 'arousal' watching the film
The director Jean Jacqueline Beineix says 'there are risks of instant arousal' implies that having a high intensity of interesting and very entertaining scenes at the start of the film could lead the audience to expect the rest of the film to be a lot better than the start. In addition it suggests that it will be difficult to maintain the same standards throughout the movie. Failing to do so could leave the audience becoming less intrigued at the end of the film.
"A good beginning must make the audience feel that it doesn't know nearly enough yet and at the same time make sure it doesn't know too little." This quote means that the people who create the title sequence have to strike a balance between how much you reveal to the audience and how much you omit to leave the audience wanting more thoughout the movie.
Stanley Kauffman (Critic) says "the classic opening as the film began with an establishing shot of New York City usually from the East side, then a close up of a building with a camera shot hitting up the building to a window." The classic opening works because the audience will know where the film is taking and where the character lives. Also we get a brief information of the society the people are currently in.
Kyle Cooper's title sequence in the film Se7en (Seven) was effective because the first scene we're shown describes/creates an insight of the persona of the protagonist. Another reason why it's effective because we (the audience) have an incline of what the movie could be about.
Orson Welles creates a title sequence that didn't consist of any soundtrack or even titles. Welles wanted the audience to be straight into the film 'A Touch of Evil." This wasn't approved by Universal Studios, they strongly disagreed his idea, who added a soundtrack and also titles creating the cast and the name of the film.
"A favourite trick of film Noir" is the quality beginning which the ending being shown at the beginning. This trick is to make the audience gave the desire for whats going to lead up to the beginning of the scene. Majority of the time it's clear for the audience the second time they watch it because they'll have w clearer grasp of what to look out for.
'The Shining's' opening film creates tension and also suspense by shooting in a birds eye view. The camera pursues the car like a predator because the camera is high up behind the vehicle. This makea it look vulnerable and will makes the audience instantly know that something bad is might happen.

Production - Feedback from my teacher for my opening title sequence
This is a PowerPoint display of the feedback from Marisa, for us to improve on before we finally finish the project completely. We are greatful for the comments because we believe her comments will help us get a higher/better grade overall.
Production- Third Filming Session
Here's a screenshot of my PowerPoint presentation of the the third filming session me and my group done.
Production - Editing the opening title sequence
I decided to put my edit lessons all in one presentation as it will be easier to visualise my experience making the title sequence. Also it will allow you go back to my previous lesson seamlessly if you want to look at it.
