Title Sequence Plan (Christopher)

Title Sequence Plan

Genre: Urban Drama

Our title sequence and opening scene is for a film that will be set in London and will include music (Grime), and becoming famous and becoming a successful music producer through the use of social media and is about the main characters break through music company on YouTube when the site was first opened for public use. Our film is an Urban Drama and does not follow the stereo type of gangs, drugs and violence, we feel that this will bring a new approach to the  Urban Drama film genre and therefore will be different and fresh.

For the title sequence we will have the main character (name not confirmed) being approached by a rapper in the street when he is with his mates and he try's to sell his mix tape, but is asked to preform a free style and state his stage name, the main character records him on a cam corder. he goes home finds out about this new site YouTube and creates a channel (name unknown as of yet) and uploads the video. The screen then becomes a internet tab on YouTube and zooms in on the view count as it slowly goes up and then goes to a fast view count and shows the channel kicking of in the Grime scene in the UK.

Practical Remake Activity - Evidence of Editing

Evidence of Editing

What Went Well?

The editing went well and we only faced a few minor difficulty's, the filming was also easy and we did it within a few takes meaning we could get back and have more time to edit.

What Did I Learn?

I learnt that the whole proses of filming and editing shouldn't be rushed because the more time you spend on it the better the outcome of your final product, and the better the product the more the audience enjoy it.

Researching Into Existing Distribution Companies (Christopher and Shakur)

Existing Distribution Companies

Film:

Steve Jobs

Who Distributes It?

Universal Pictures

Marketing Tools

To distribute the film Steve Jobs the distributers used social media sites such as: YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. The distributers also used TV adverts, Radio Talk shows, billboards a posters on buses and streets.

The Role of Social Media

Social media sites such as YouTube promoted the film bye putting it as an advert before videos and also put it on their home page, this is a good technique in promoting the film because millions of people watch videos on youtube every day and therefore the film would be noticed more.

The company went into administration in 2013 however are film is trying to revive the UK company right now revolver is working on distributing US films. The owners of the company are Justin Marciano (CEO)
Seb Marciano (President)

Marketing tools:

The film ill manors was marketed online with twitter and facebook profiles as many youths had the social media outlets. Also the budget was 100,000 so this would of been the best marketing to reflect the budget of the film. Also there was a trailer online what previewed snippets of the film so not a lot of the budget had to be spent a trailer to be produced.

Social media:

As I said social media was one of the most advertising outlets as it was one of the cheapest and most effective to the people who the film was marketed to. 


Different Formats: 

The Film is available in DVD, Blu-Ray and digitally they did this so that the film can make more money and can be watch by anyone in any way.
  

Genre short list

My genre short-list is based around the ideas we have produced. Prior to these ideas we have come up with three different genres:

- Urban Drama
- Thriller
- Sport

We will work out which genre is best suited to us by assessing each and every idea and understanding what we can do with each idea and which are the realistic targets for us.

individual ideas

Originally a lot of ideas popped up in my head however I wanted to make sure that this idea would be different. I thought this could firstly be done by genre, I wanted to move away from the typical genres and do something different for example a biography. Though my initial idea was in fact a sports movie, the initial plot was a young person finding football as a way out and later on finding it as a very passionate sport. When I told my group about this idea they threw a lot of ideas of their own at this idea to make it better. We later found that this idea was not actually the right route for us so we turned to a different idea. This idea was inspired by a famous person and we decided to make a story line out of it.

What makes a good title sequence according to Kyle Cooper

What Makes a Good Tittle Sequence - Kyle Cooper

Kyle Coopers Work in Film

Kyle Cooper is known most for his work on the tittle sequence for the film 'Seven' he has also created the tittle sequences for 'The Incredible Hulk', 'The Walking Dead (Season 1&2)' and 'Dawn of the Dead' all in which have great tittle sequences.

What he believes makes a good tittle sequence

He believes that the tittle sequence and or opening credits need to set up and expectation of what the film is going to be about and that the tittle sequence should draw you into the film or the TV show making you and the audience more engaged with what's going to happen in the film. 

Kyle Cooper created the 'The Walking Dead' tittle sequence for three seasons and believes that the tittle sequence should be able to draw the audience into the show or film even more. He did this in many different way for example if the show was a horror or thriller he would make the opening credits either really intense and or scary so that the audience felt drawn to what was about to happen in the film, he not only did this for Seven but also for The Walking Dead and The Evil Dead.

My favourite two genres in film are: Crime and Drama.

Crime & Drama:

The Crime and Drama genres of film are my favourite genres because they can both explore lots of different things and can also add other genres to them to make them better. Furthermore when films add crime genre and drama genres together it always works.  An example of this is the TV show 'Top Boy'.

The show Top Boy was a great crime, drama because it explored lots of different things in London and went into very explicit detail to make the show better, I feel that the crime genre enables directors and produces to this so they can make there shows and films good.
