P4
If you have not completed the first 2 P4 sessions with Sophia or Matt, then you really need to ensure that you do this this week.
To improve your posts
Generally, these are really good. Well done. Lots of imagery, embedded video.
Some groups have also made their own videos - for example risk assessments.
You will need to upload your storyboard soon. Aswell as the SB, film yourselves creating your SB aswell to evidence that it is yours. You can also briefly explain what a SB is and its function.
When you do this, isolate those parts of the SB that illustrate MOA and SRS and revisit your original posts and insert these to demonstrate application.

TITLES RESEARCH AND DESIGN - DEADLINE THIS FRIDAY, MARCH 13TH
Each group member needs to do an individual post AND ANALYSE AT LEAST 3 DIFFERENT TITLE SEQUENCES FROM THE START OF 3 DIFFERENT FILMS. ACROSS YOUR GROUP, YOU MUST NOT REPEAT THE SAME FILMS. This research post should be completed before you attempt any titling or credits - otherwise, you will not fully understand what is required of you.
Questions to answer on each of your own 3 title sequences you analyse:
1. The name of the film (the film title): How does it construct the Thriller genre, connect with the audience, create interest or anticipation for the target audience?
2. Consider how the film title design might further communicate meaning to the audience about genre, meaning or story. (Colour, font, animation, size, background etc).
3. What institutional info is included?
4. Is additional story info included - eg date or location of story? If so, why?
5. Are actors included? How are they introduced in the title sequence?
6. For the sequence as a whole - consider the relationship between title and credit information and the background for that frame (onto black, a still image or moving image of the actual film). Suggest reasons for it being effective as part of the Thriller opening.
7. Is the sound diegetic or non diegetic - how is the title and credit sequence edited to the music? Are sound bridges used?
8 Study carefully the relationship between moving image segments of the film (the start of the plot) and the introduction of titles. What is the order in which they are introduced? Why do you think this is?
Next you should follow the same procedure for your own title and/or credit designs. Give reasons for every aspect of your planning and construction, along the lines of the research questions above. You can share this in the group.
You should be able to demonstrate some audience feedback for this - is your title achieving the effect that you want to achieve?
Don't forget to get Audience Feedback on your own title words, design and plans for the method by which you plan to insert the titles in the moving images.
