Tasksheet for Opening Sequence



Task sheet for Opening Sequence
  • Create titles that link to the genre (Subtitles and main Title. Work on the placement of our titles and continue work on Grid main font)
  1. We have already found an opening title we wish to create in After Effects. I am in the process of making said title in my free lessons at school. As for our other titles, we have been experimenting with different looks for our film:
  • Need to establish a narrative thread that hooks the audience and not a complete narrative (The marks will not count if the opening sequence is a short film)
  1. We ensure our narrative could be continued if the prospectus asked us to.
  • Introduce the main characters (Boy protagonist. Convey his mundane life through his actions, visual rather than spoken)
  1. Boy protagonist and does not speak in the opening of the film. He is isolated and alone but finds comfort in playing computer games and the general comforts of a typical home (Kettle, hot water, gaming chair)
  • Create enigma (mystery) in the opening by using a mixture of lighting, cinematography and sound. 
  1. Lighting: Blue lighting
  2. Cinematography: Predominantly Tracking shots but when outside use handheld shots for an over-the-shoulder shot, settee shot and the introduction of the blue light (Boom with sound)
  3. Sound: The sound will have a calming feel, enticing the audience to begin to get comfortable with the narrative. Once the power cut happens the sound abruptly changes to unhinging and electric. this battles with the organic sounding strings/piano at the beginning making the spectator unnerved at what they are watching.
  • Within the titles I should also include a production company, Actors, Distribution company and the  Funding of the film.
  1. Universal
  2. Studio Canal
  3. Working Title (Owned by Universal so would be a good distributor to work in partnership with)
  4. MUST INCLUDE: Charlie Potter (Actor) , Lucie Potter (Cinematography), Tori Holness (Sound) and Shona Kinal (Editor)
