Title Sequence Preview and Editing


This is what I have done with my film so far. I have put all my scenes for the Title Sequence together. It is almost finished, all I need to do is get my titles and music sorted out. I have produced some title in this sequence. I have added a girl to my Title Sequence which is also one of the main characters, I decided to do this to target a female audience not just male.

I have distorted the scenes a bit by editing the brightness, exposure as well as colour. I have also added a scene to the title sequence, when my female character is crossing the road. I wanted to add more scenes with her because I want to reach out to a female audience as well. All the titles have been finished in my title sequence, I tried to do something with the graphics of my film because in one or two of the scenes the female character's eyes are different from each other so but I could not change them.

The soundtrack for my film I think is the perfect fit. It matches the atmosphere of my sequence. My goal was always to make it quite intense and to give a sort of idea to what the film is like. I made an adjustment to the soundtrack; added more of the sound at the beginning. The sound at the end wasn't the best but I just decided to go with it in the end.



This is the editing of my Title Sequence. I am using the programme iMovie from Apple. It has helped me with everything and I have found it quite easy to use.








This was the feedback I got after showing the title sequence to an audience. Some of the discoveries I made were quite interesting. In the interviews I did one of them said that they thought the film was more like a TV Drama while the other thought it was a Crime/Thriller. Although they both thought the scenes with the gun were a bit excessive and suggested that I should cut them down. I still liked the gun scenes so I decided to leave most of them in the sequence.

Soundtrack

I have recently just finalised my soundtrack for my film, it was the most difficult part of my whole production. I just have to put it into the title sequence and finish my editing.

With the soundtrack I am trying to create a lot of tension and suspense. I have used about 2 themes so far. The length is about 2 mins, I used the first theme which consists of a lot of bass and it runs for about 30 seconds, then this is where my second theme which is a more guitar based sound and it runs for the remainder of the sequence. This is just a draft though and I do want to make some changes to it as I think the 2nd theme does become a bit irritating after a while. I want to mix up themes more, involve the first theme in the sequence more and possibly add a third one.

Sountrack Music

I am starting to get the hang of Garage Band. I have made a couple of sounds and I'm proceeding to test them with the title seqeunce, hopefully I will pick one in the next few days so I can finish my Production piece.
