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.

Order of Credits

Editing the sequence

Me, Jazmine and Bronte have began to edit our title sequence, after school all three of us have been staying after school to try and get all the work done and edit the clips that we have filmed, the app we will be using on the mac to edit the sequence is Final cut pro. When we had began to edit we had came to the conclusion of not all the clips fitting the vision of our title sequence, therefore after re-watching all of the shots we had decided that some re-shooting will have to be done, whether this is because of the camera being unfocused or the shot being steady enough.

Feedback


From our feedback given me from our peer group me, Bronte and Jazmine gained some constructive criticism and came to the conclusion of what we need to do to help improve the sequence, these include; Re-shooting some scenes, making sure the camera is not shaky, Making sure the pictures are already on the page rather than them just popping up whilst making sure they are shown quicker, cut some shots and re shoot using cut shots to help get a fast paste to the title sequence.

Creating the Welling High yearbook

                             Over the February half term we was unable to film due to our title sequence being set in a school, therefore throughout the holidays me, Jazmine and Bronte got together to finish of and create our yearbook. Throughout the title sequence the yearbook is the main aspect, due to every character holding and looking through the book, therefore making sure the book was perfect was one of our main focus points. 

Within the Yearbook it has inside: The freak page, the jock page,the elite page and the nerds and a graduation page.

25th February filming -

During todays lessons and after school me and Jazmine had shot and edited some of our Title sequence, the shots that were filmed today include of:The 'Elite' girls in their school photo-shoot,
The 'Nerd' and his photo-shoot whilst also shooting him walking with the book and finally The 'freak' walking with the book.  During filming today the props and costume we needed were:Glasses,checkered shirt, Welling High book. To film both the Nerd and freak walking with the book we had to use the tracker, this was due to us wanting a smooth shot of both characters walking. To film all shots today we had just used the standard cameras within the school and a tripod.

Welling high pitch

For the Title Sequence we had to pitch the idea of our film to the class, this is so that the class understand the idea of our film and once our title sequence has finished our class will be able to understand whether the sequence links in with the genre of the film we pitched.

Judd Apatow - Director

The film director we decided to use for our film was Judd Apatow. Judd Apatow is an American actor and comedian however Apatow is known for his directing skills with movies such as Bridesmaids, The 40 year old virgin, Trainwreck etc. Apatows big screen breakout came from the 40 Year-Old-Virgin, not only did Apatow director the film however he also wrote and produced it and thankfully because of this Apatow had made and earning of almost $110 million in the domestic box office and another $68 million over seas. Apatow had then become known for This is 40 and Knocked up. Apatow usually focuses on realistic, commical improvised dialogue and for our film i believe this would fit perfectly with the humour within the film which we are looking for, Apatow also likes to direct his films at the rear of well over two hours, this is something which is uncharacteristic for comedy films however allows an attraction to the audience.
