Titling

Each group member is to blog 3 opening credits of their own choice.  Try to use existing thrillers from film or drama.

Analyse each - explain the decisions that have been made and how they are being used to communicate further information to the audience.

You can consider colour, style and effect of font

Placement

Any backdrop to credits if NOT placed on Moving image

How credits appear on screen

Editing

We have the impression that some group members are not really involving themselves fully in then editing process.  It must be a group process.  You should all be involved in then decision making process and be able to write about these, particularly in your evaluation.

Deadline for evaluation is end of term

Titling

On your blog, you should now post a discussion of 3 title sequences of your own choice - try to use thrillers from either TV Drama or Film. Ensure that you consider how the film title, graphics, music, and placement, all work in the overall construction of the sequence. Do they contribute anything to the meaning about character, mood, atmosphere or any aspect of narrative.

http://www.artofthetitle.com/A very useful site for looking at title and credit ideas.

A useful short YOUTUBE interview with title designers another useful link

Do NOT simply reproduce an analysis of those that we have covered in class.

This is also a good interview to watch on YouTube.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbhi-JICKKI

Your credits should include atleast the film title, and your names need to be clear.

Deadline approaching

 

Friday March 21st 2014.

 

This Friday is the deadline for the editing of your film footage.

 

This should include your image editing, sound editing (Foleys, dialogue and soundtrack (COPYRIGHT FREE) )

 

Some of you are well on course to meet this deadline.

 

Missing deadlines does have consequences and results in your overall Research and Planning mark being reduced (Time Management).

 

Partial missing of the deadline (it is clear to us that you are pretty much on course and just have a few things to complete) will be penalised. 

However, if we are really concerned that you are falling well behind schedule, a letter will also be sent home to a parent/guardiann alerting them to our concerns.

 

Don't forget that we are also making judgements as to your suitability to progress into year 2 of this subject.
