PITCH

This is the pitch our group presented to our classmates, we included as much detail as possible as to what we were going to do for our film and from doing this our classmates then provided feedback to our pitch to tell us the strengths and weaknesses to our ideas.

Title Sequence Template

This is our first plan for our title sequence in which we have aimed to include various shots similar to that of the style to True Blood's opening. However after our pitch reviews and after going over all of our ideas and final planning, we have decided to use fewer shots then the amount provided within this template, this is to ensure that continuity isn't an issue and that the sequence flows for the audience as some of our shots didn't seem to make sense in relation to our story.

Pitch Feedback

Our pitch feedback allowed us to realise the main errors that were found in our ideas for our film and it's title sequence. This was done as the problems that stood out the most were highlighted by peers within our class. For example we chose to include a knife and a house within our film however when looking at the feedback it is now clear that the knife is unexplained as to how our main character has got a knife and the house we wanted to be shown within the title sequence leaves people wondering as to who's house it is and how it relates to the film. After reviewing these issues we have concluded to remove the use of a knife as we believe that they are right in highlighting the fact that we have no explanation for where it has come from and in regards to the house, to include explanations as to whose house it is if we choose to use it within our title sequence. From this feedback we will be able to look at where we have made mistakes and how we can make improvements for our film.

Here is the pitching to our film, for this we had to look at the questions and be able to relate them to the film we were making. This was so we could follow the conventions to ensure we were following the correct genre of psychological.

Textual Analysis Sam and Sorraya

Here is the Textual Analysis homework that our group individually carried out, this work involved looking at a film from our genre and making comments on it. 

Opening Title Ideas

After looking at various opening scenes such as those from True Blood and the film Se7en, we saw two different types of title sequences. These were those that include a various mash up of images (True blood) and those that are a continuous story shown developing to the audience (Se7en). The two types of title sequences have different effects on the audience as the story telling one usually acts as more of an introduction to the film and its' purpose whereas a mash up of images can leave suspicion and eagerness for the viewer as it leaves the intentions of the programme hidden. For our title ideas in the very early stages of planning, we have created two different titles from the two different styles and wrote down what we would include in both. However once again, this is the very early stages of planning and this will not result in our final decision for our title sequence because as we progress in our planning and create a better understanding of what we are creating, thoughts and opinions on the title sequence may change. This doesn't change the fact that from doing this piece of work we have been given a better understanding on how title sequences work and what they do to create effect.
