DETECTIVES ART OF THE TITLE
11/9/14 | RESEARCH |
THE ART OF THE TITLE: DETCETIVES
We accessed the art of the title and used it to watch the
intro of the French detective series detectives. One of the ways that you could
tell it is a television detective series is because in the opening sequence
detective files were shown to show the main characters within in the show. It
also had the opening credits in a clear white and black bold font and the title
of the programme in a bigger font to make it stand out from the other credits. It
also had a catchy theme song which is common amongst television openings.
SHERLOCK HOLMES ART OF THE TITLE

FILM OPENINGS: SHERLOCK HOLMES (2009)
In class we watched the film opening titles to the 2009 film
Sherlock Holmes. As someone who has watched the Sherlock Holmes series I was
excited to watch the opening titles for the film. The opening titles were in a
monochromatic colour scheme and each character was introduced by moving image
followed by a sepia image and was then transformed into an ink sketch, this
process is repeated each time for all the different characters. It clearly
shows that Sherlock Holmes is set in the Victorian era the sepia tones in the
intro suggest Victorian photography. The credits are handwritten in pen and ink
wash, there are ink blots and splatters and the papers are tattered and this establishes
the Victorian period. The soundtrack is upbeat and instrumental and fits the
pace of the titles. The CGI
PLANNING: THE BRIEF

THE BRIEF
I am working in a group of three pupils with Amber Giles
and Eleanor McChesney. we have chosen Brief 7 (video), the opening sequence of
a new film including titles, in any genre or mix of genres such as a comedy or
thriller together with a storyboard. Maximum length: three minutes.
RESEARCH: FILM DISTRIBUTOR
Today in class we looked at different film distributors and used the
website Launching Films to learn about how film distributors work and learnt
about all the different types of film distributors. We then decided what film distributor
would be appropriate for our film based on the genre and how popular the film
would be.
FILMING
Over the half term I, Eleanor and Amber met up to begin filming. We used
the canon D60 camera provided by the school and a tripod. The first problem we
encountered whilst filming was that the camera would only shoot 8 second shots,
as we did not have time to look up how to fix this problem we continued filming
and tried to film our shots in these short windows of time. We shot the bedroom
shots and the last few shots of the introduction to our horror film. I set up
and filmed most of the shots for our film and assisted Amber a little bit in
the directing of it. By the end of our 4 hour shoot we had achieved most of the
shots we wanted and were happy with the outcome.
