analysis of 3 title sequences

Deadpool

This title sequence is very clever and shot well as it it one still image and the camera flows around it zooming in on detail somewhat relevant to the writing on the screen. the intro shows that the movie is funny as well as action packed, the slow motion movement is affective as so much is going on.

The Conjuring

The conjuring's intro is a good way to do a horror title sequence because how they just film someone turning pages on a folder according to the music in a very dark room, it creates a very real and scary feel to it and is extremely simple as well. it also sort of tells a story and a little miss-en-scene. this title sequence is similar to my idea for mine, i like this sort of style as it is simple but very effective. the whole thing is filmed by printing out images and overlays and put them over a light title and is then filmed from a birds eye shot turning the pages over revealing the actors and director and the names of the protagonist family. this intro will appeal to horror fans as it has old pictures and news articles that look authentic with interests the viewer more and keeps them watching if they believe its a true story.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

This short intro is completely CGI and is very entertaining to watch because of how fast everything is moving and that it is all dark colours apart from the fire that lights up the screen and draws your attention. theres a story behind it all so it keeps your attention, it fits with the genera well as it is different and dark (like the movie). it also shows what sort of relationship the protagonists have with each other with is good because they have an idea what the characters are like so its not too confusing. the shot types are mostly close ups of the cgi faces being pulled apart and morphed

title sequence

A title sequence is the first 2 and a half minutes of the movie that sets the scene shows the title of the movie and all the idents as well. They can have music, dialog and the main protagonists or other characters from the film, they don't have to have dialog either.

types of title sequences:

• Discrete - Separately filmed clips that are played before the movie, they usually set the mies-en-scene for the rest of the movie.
• Narrative - this is so the audience can make their opinion on the character before they actually meet the character.
• Credits over screen - this is to set the scene or fill in the audience on what has happened in the past.
• Heavy styled editing - mostly cgi or clips edited together to set scene and mood with dents on screen as well.

Evaluation

I researched lots of movie clips first to see what sort of shot types they used and how to correctly film and edit a match on action shot.

The audience for my product will be people that are looking for a short home-made random clip while they are browsing on the Internet, it has no real story to it and makes no sense but it does have good editing and use of match on action.

For my main task it will be about something so it will make sense, I will also edit it appropriately for my genre.

Storyboard

analysis of two similar scenes

Its important to look at existing scenes before doing my own so i have somewhat of an idea of what to do and how to film it properly with the correct sound and editing.

scene one - The Shining: Lloyd Scene
This scene from the classic horror film "The Shining" starts with long shot that zooms out as the  protagonist walk towards the camera,  there is then a jump cut to a mobile camera that moves with him at a medium shot. The room is lit but the lighting is dark so it gives an eery feel to it, the scene goes on to have dialog but it is brief and is of a subject that makes the viewer concerned and uncomfortable. Theres jump cuts between dialog that go into close up shots of the characters to show their emotions better to the dialog, it also makes it more serious.

scene two - The Shining: Ball Scene
This scene starts with an extreme long shot that follows the protagonist into the room behind the set to the bar, the room is lit and the lighting is brighter than it was before but still has an eery feel to it, the same shots are used in the dialog at the characters are talking with close ups on their face's.
