Evidence Of Planning- Story Board


Evidence Of Our Planning- Story Board
This is the story board we used to plan out the shots we would use when filming the remake of the 'Collateral' introduction. 
Things we found easy:

We found the planning and making up the shots easy.

Things we found difficult:
We noticed that we had to adjust the shots as possible 


Evidence of editing.

EDITING.



We used a combination of adobe after effects and Premier Pro, primarily PP was used for the editing of the clips and AE for the use of titles. We found using PP quite easy as the user interface was simple to use. On the other hand we found after effects quite difficult to use as there were factors we did not understand however with further assistance we were able to complete the titles and develop our  understanding of after effects.

Evidence of our Filming


This is evidence that we filmed our film:

Collateral Intro



Thursday, 22 October 2015

4 different types of title openings.

There are four different types of title openings:


  • A 'discrete' title sequence - This is a mini clip which in some instances is separate from the actual movie. It gives you a glimpse of the movie and puts you in a particular mood, it sets you up for the movie. It often includes a lot of editing.
  • A 'traditional' title sequence - This often uses specific sound and font in order to create an atmosphere for the audience and help them to become engaged. An example of this is an impact font which will create an up tempo environment for the audience.
  • Straight into the film title sequence - This is an attempt to jump straight into the storyline and gets the story up and running from the first moment. This is likely to be seen in a horror or an action movie.
  • A 'Stylized' title sequence - This is a mixture between discrete and straight into the film. Usually one follows the other for example it will start off straight into the movie and after that it will go into discrete. It is often seen in action movies.

My favorite type of sequence is the discrete sequence. A movie where this is used is se7en. It creates a  very tense atmosphere and puts you in the driving seat, preparing you for the movie. It also gives you a sense of what the movie is about however it doesn't give it away.
