Rough Cut Title Sequence

Here is an extremely rough cut of the beggining of our opening title sequence, have a watch and see what you think.

BBFC Research

The BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) are who decide what age a film should be classed as. They don't actually have any power over what age the film is actually aged as but most films are classed at the age that the  BBFC suggests due to their reputation and brilliant accuracy.

Here is a link to the official BBFC website, have a look then have a look at what I have said below: http://www.bbfc.co.uk/

When we are making our opening title sequence we will need to take into mind what aged target audience we will be aiming our film at, then incorporating that into our title sequence. In doing this we will have to look at what makes a film classed to a certain age, in our case we will wanted to be a 12 to fit our target audience, and so we will need to look at what makes a film a 12 rated film.



Final Storyboard

Here is our final storyboard for our opening title sequence for Aeon.

Target Audience Research and Research Into Where the Media Product Would be Shown

We have designed a questionnaire for people to fill out. This will help us decide where to try and distribute our media product to our target audience and see how they would expect to view it.

 Here is the questionnaire: http://www.scribd.com/doc/138704746/Target-Audience-Distribution-Questionnaire-1

Synopsis/ Brief

Following on from the resent production meeting we have recently come up with a synopsis/brief for our film that we will be filming the opening sequence for. Here it is:

'Happy/feel good with comedy elements which tells a story about the hardship of working class life but also the good times, such as family/friends, valuing the little things and the music in the main character's life.'

Here is a questionnaire, take a look at it then fill it out and send it back to me with your answers to help us out with our opening title sequence, then come back and watch the clip of 'Little Miss Sunshine' that we think is a good examples of what we want to do, taking the idea of a depressing subjuect but showing happyness and laughter over powering it.

Production Meeting

6th December 2012

Present: Sam, Ben, Lauren and Izzy.

Focus/Agenda: Work out a synopsis/brief.

Ideas:
Feel good/comedy type film that shows the everyday life of a young, unemployed character living near oxford.

The opening title sequence could be following the main character on their way to the city from their home to busk, which is what they do ever day of their life at the present time. Also, whilst this is happening, things will be happening around the character that show things about them. There could also be titles that appear on things around the character, such as walls, signs and maybe clouds.

Inspiration:

• 'Juno'   http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/juno/
  
• 'This Is England'/
   

• 'Shuan of the Dead'
Tasks:

• Everyone: Watch as much films as possible to be inspired by.
• Sam: Think of props to use within the scene.

If anyone has any thought or ideas for use to help us with our opening title sequence we would appreciate it very much! Watch the clips shown then comment about your opinions on the type of film we are planning to film and the common occurrences in this genre.
