final plan for opening sequence

We have decided on the final plan and layout of our opening sequence and are going up to london to film the main part of our sequence on wednesday.

The sequence will start with a black background and white writing in a typewriter style. It will say the production company, director and main actor. they fade in and out slowly which will be quite simple but effective and it will also fit in with the music in the background. the black background will then fade into the scene of the main character sitting on the vauxhall bridge with traffic and people walking past. this will be a time lapse so the character will look alone and it will show that he has been sitting there for hours. as the scene goes on, the characters names will fade in and out in the same font as the first credits in the corners of the screen. as the scene gets darker, the music changes and more instruments are added. when that scene is over, flashbacks of his life before his accident cut quickly with short 2-3 second cuts. it will then flash and the image will be a medium shot of the main character sitting on the bridge in day-light, holding a cardboard sign with the name of the film written on it.

Chosen location for filming

Vauxhall Bridge

We have chosen this location because we think it helps to show the location to the audience because they will know it's in london when they see vauxhall bridge. Also, we chose this location because it is a busy bridge with lots of people and cars going past, which is what we need for our opening sequence to convey the sense of isolation towards our main character sitting there alone.

Fonts for credits

When looking at the different types of font styles we could maybe use we need to think about which ones would fit with the genre and suit the target audience.

Font 1

Font 2

Font 3

Font 4

Sound Mix

We created this on soundtrack as an idea of what we want the music to be like in the background of our opening sequence as non diegetic sound. We liked the sound of something like 'mad world' by Gary Jules because the music is quite slow and the begining sound of the piano sounds alone and would give the impression of the films genre, for example a comedy film would probably have something more fast and lively. as the sequence goes on and the scene gets darker, we thought it would be more effective to have the music reflect this and have more instuments playing, this would then build up to the flashbacks and would make a bigger impression on the audience when the music stopped and the title appeared on the screen.

Target Audience - 'Reservior dogs'

'Reservoir Dogs' is a crime drama/thriller so we can also get an idea of target audience from these user ratings. 81,785 males ages 18-29 voted this film which again shows this type of genre is popular with this age group. Some females are also interested in these type of films however they are not the main target audience as males take up most of the votes.
