My Film Opening Sequence

Art of the Title activity Evaluation (DYM)


1.Our film idea is about a girl who gets trapped in a hole for her whole life and eventually manages to escape. However she is disturbed and demented and wants to get revenge on the people who trapped her down the hole. Our film opening is a montage of creepy shots with no chronological order but they give the audience the general feel of the film.
2. The film opening introduces the films main character and gives the audience an idea of the setting of the film. It also very clearly introduces the genre.
3. There's a general theme running through the opening titles of blood and darkness and the fact that the opening of the film doesn't reveal much leaves an element of mystery which links into the plot line of the film as there would be an element of uncertainty throughout the film.
4. Hopefully the opening title sequence will leave the audience scared but also intrigued into what will happen in this film. The opening is very ambiguous and really sets the scene for the rest of the film.
5. In our opening sequence we included a range of shot types, this is important in constructing and opening to a film as you want the opening title to be interesting and creative to excite the audience. We also included the film title, our film title could leave the audience confused and make them question how the title is linked into the rest of the film. We also included credits as it is a legal obligation to credit anyone who had input in the film.
6. I think our project is relatively effective as a film opening. It sets the scene well for the rest of the film and gives the audience a good idea of whats to come but as the same time is quite ambiguous. I also think the shots are quite interesting and creative which is very important for an opening title sequence. However if we did it again  i think we could of come up with a more interesting concept for the film as it is quite generic. I also think if we had more time we could have included more interesting titles as the font used is quite boring and looks unprofessional.

  1. Your opening sequence grid is effective in conveying genre and contains some interesting shots. However, your reflections could have been developed in more detail, and your language must reflect the academic context in which you are writing.
