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
