filming our open sequence

changing the titles-research and planning

As we were filming our opening sequence we deicided that our idea for having the titles interlinked with the scene was too difficult to execute because most of our shots were outside. As a group we have now decided to have the titles displayed on each half of the split screen. For example on the half of the screen where "Poppy" is we will have the girl's who will be staring in our film and who were part of making the film and on "Josh's" half of the screen we will have the boy's who will be staring in our film and who were part of making the film.

Research and Planning-Treatment

TARGET AUDIENCE: The target audience for our film are mainly people around 13-20 year olds, the reason we have picked this age bracket is because the two main characters will be able to relatable and they will maybe in some cases mirror young people’s lives. The gender we think will mainly come to watch our film will be women because the main themes of the film will mainly relate to women.

MEDIA LANGUAGES: When it comes to editing our opening sequence we are going to edit it in spilt screen, this choice of editing has been influence by films like Freaky Friday and Mean Girls. The shots that will be within the split screen will be shots of the main characters (Poppy and Josh),going about their normal everyday business. Within these shots the audience will see how these two characters are different but have qualities within them that are very similar. Another element that will be embedded within the titles will be clues as to what things these characters are into. As a group we plan to set up enigmas in order to show that there will be an element of comedy within the characters. For example in Josh's bedroom there will be something like a skateboard to perhaps for shadow an injury that might happen involving it, this element will also be used for poppy, example photographs of her with her friends perhaps on a night out showing she can have a good time, the enigmas will also introduce the characters personality. we have decided that Poppy is a very artistic girl so in her bedroom there will be cameras, photographs and art books on her shelf and for Josh we have decided that he is interested in music so he will have guitars on his wall and lyric sheets on his desk.

For the lighting in the film we would like to use very natural light, we have decided to use natural light to show the independence of these two characters and also the innocence of the two characters. We plan on achieving this by filming outside in a location like a park. We also plan on achieving this by shooting throughout the day at different times in order to get different lighting throughout the opening.

Research and Planning- Production Name

For Our Production Name We Had A Few Choices To Choose From They Were:
• Cow Chow
• G-Jam
• Love Bug
• Moo
The production Name We Ended Up Choosing Was G-Jam. The reason we decided upon this name was because we wanted all of our names to be combined within it somehow, and thats what G-Jam Represents.
G=Gemma
J=Jason
A=Aimee
M=Molly

opening sequence is vital to any film but whats equally as important is the title sequence. As a group we decided we to have the titles as part of the surroundings so they look as if they are naturally there.
