Creative Task: Create a title credit sequence for a coming of age film

What have I learnt:
After making this video, I have learnt how important title sequences are in an opening sequence because they can engage the audience. This is because people who appear on the screen may be recognised by the audience and therefore encourage them to continue watching. The font in the sequence we copied was fairly simple as it was one of the fonts from IMovie. However, it still accomplished what was needed and by having a clear font meant that everyone could follow the sequence. I believe that our recreation went well as we were able to transform the audio of the sequence from YouTube which made it easier to match the typography. In my own opening sequence I will make sure to follow what I did in this task and make sure that peoples name are in a bigger font and capitalized so that they stand out in each shot.

Checklist For My Opening Sequence:

• Don't reveal too much of the narrative.
• Use a catchy soundtrack to engage my audience.
• Correct institution information used.
• Make the main character the focus of the narrative.
• Film the video in landscape and not portrait as it will make it difficult to edit.
• Make the actors speak clearly and slowly to make it easy to edit and understandable.
• Stick to the 180 degree rule unless I am braking it to add effect and demonstrate confusion.
• Use close ups.
• Think about costume to represent a social group.
• Make a clear plan/storyboard.
• Make transitions seamless.
• Use Film 4 as my institution company as they are usually low budget films and bring up encouraging actors. 
• Try to include some animation in my sequence.
• Produce a script for my actors.
• Use pans to demonstrate motion.
• Create some enigma codes that will make my audience watch on.
• Produce a catchy soundtrack.
• Include typography in my opening sequence.
• Capitalise and embolden peoples names.
