The Main Task

The brief for our main task is:
Film the opening sequence of a new fiction film, including titles and soundtrack to last approximately 2 minutes.

The highlighted points are the most important aspects of the brief that I will need to be able to completely understand before starting filming and pre-production. I will need to research and be able to use titles and soundtracks to understand their function but also I need to understand what an opening sequence is and what the main aspects are within an opening sequence.

Titles:
  • Show the title of the film, the actors and the characters within the film
  • Usually names shown are in order of importance, typically with the directors name last
  • Font and size need to be considered when making decisions about each individual character/actor

Soundtrack:
  • Includes forms of diegetic and non-diegetic sounds
  • Backing music
  • Dialogue and potentially voice overs
  • Special effects

Opening Sequence:
  • Introduces the theme and style of the film
  • Establishes scenes of the film
  • Includes a soundtrack
  • Includes the name of the film
  • Has a colour scheme
  • Titles are typically incorporated into the theme of the sequence
  • Cast is included in the opening sequence
