We are now beginning to think about our main task.
This is the brief we have been given:
Film the opening
sequence of a new fiction film, including titles and soundtrack to last approximately
two minutes.
From this brief, it is clear we need to choose a genre and
create a story to fit with the opening sequence of a film. I and my classmate
Daisy will be doing research of opening sequences to gain an idea of how much
we include in a two minute opening and how much of the story we give away.
Furthermore, we need to extend our knowledge and research a variety of
different genres in order to decide what genre would be the best to incorporate
into our task.
In addition, we need to think about the sound production of
our task. Due to the fact we didn’t focus that much on sound in our preliminary
task, for our main task, we need to ensure we use a variety of sounds and find
a reliable source to get music without copyright.
I understand we are not creating a whole film; we are
creating a short opening sequence. However, we still need to brainstorm an
overall idea of what the film is about to ensure the opening sequence makes
sense. We need to decide the props, location, characters and when we are going
t film it.
Conversely, in order to create an opening sequence of great
quality, before we begin brainstorming we need to carry out research. Our
research will be based on:
- Genres
- Sound
- Existing Opening Sequences
By researching these three main topics, we will be extending
our knowledge on opening sequences and how to use sound at appropriate times to
ensure the task is effective. We will also gain a perspective on what genre we
think is the most effective when creating an opening sequence, as well as learning
how we can leave the audience wanting to continue to watch the film.
Our first research task will be focusing on different
opening sequences and how they are being portrayed to the audience.
