Title Sequence Coursework - Screening(1)

Today we had the first screening of our title sequence. This was the first cut of the title sequence I presented.

I got a lot of feedback that I can use to improve the sequence. The improvements and the what went wells were given on the feedback sheets below. 

   

                                             

The what went well features that were mentioned on the feedback sheets, were the music and how it suited the style of the title sequence, and also some of the fast paced clips that were parallel to the soundtrack. In addition, the shots by the o2, in North Greenwich, was complimented as they thought it went well with the style of our title sequence. On one of the feedback sheets is stated that they like the close-up and the effects. I agree with this because the close-ups show the intenseness of the title sequence.

On most of the feedback sheets is it stated that there are no credits. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time before our first screening because I fell behind in filming. This was because my partner left me to do all the filming last minute, which caused me to fall behind in editing. Before the next screening, I will add the credits of which production company is presenting it, the cast, the production designer, the composer, the editor, the producers, the writers and the director.

Another improvement that was mentioned was to keep the speed of each clip, in the title sequence, continuous. I agree with this because the clips were meant to be the same speed, but the only reason they were different were because I must have missed some clips out when editing. However, for the next screening, I will ensure that all the clips in the title sequence are the same speed.

On a few of the feedback sheets, it says that some shots a too long. To correct this I can make them shorter and split some into two or three. This might cause the duration of the title sequence to decrease, which means it will be under the minimum amount of time. However, some people said that the duel narrative was not properly separated in the first cut of the title sequence. A suggestion was made to add another girl in getting ready to rob the bank. This means I would be able to add another girl getting ready in the footage, which will increase the duration of my title sequence. By adding another girl it will make the title sequence more face paced with faster cuts because there will be more footage to use.
