Title Sequence idea

Our title sequence idea is to create a yearbook which is opened by all the conventional characters that are seen in teen comedy dramas, for example 'the jock', 'the elite', 'the freak' and 'the nerds'. The title sequence will show all of these characters opening the yearbook and showing the audience their school photos whilst also showing pages such as prom day and graduation day. When creating the title sequence we need to make sure that it is very conventional, this is so it looks as realistic as possible, without the right costume and props the title sequence will not be as effective. When creating the sequence it is crucial for us to add in bright bold colours throughout the yearbook so the audience are aware that it is a high school film.

Notes

What is a title sequence?
  • Introduction to a film
  • Opportunity to make a good first impression
  • Key production to cast members, or both utilising conceptual visuals and sound. 
Conventionally an opening sequence will contain:
  • Cast and crew details
  • The title of the film
  • Allows an introduction for the character or character type
  • Allows an insight on where the film is set
  • Introducing the signature theme tune
  • Informing the genre of the film
  • Sets up the enigmas
  • Shows the patterns and types of editing that may be constructed throughout the rest of the film
  • Identifies the Mise-en-scene and cinematography that will be confronted later in the film.
