Evaluation
For this
narrative and sequence unit we were meant to come up with a made up
story/script, for a made up title sequence and things we need to consider are; genre,
title, settings of story etc. So my plan was to do research on different movie
title sequence starting from horror, drama, comedy etc.
Having all
that in mind I decided to plan on what my story will be, and my thought was to
write a story about gun crimes, bullying and so on, then I decided to watch a
couple of movies with similar themes like “adulthood” the wire” lottery ticket”
etc. Although it was hard coming up with a story at first, eventually I was able
to get my thoughts together and come up with one. Later on I was able to share
this idea with the tutor and was giving ideas on what works and things I might
do to improve the story, where my location will be etc
Later on I decided
to change the story as I was not satisfied with it, so I wrote a story about movie
genres I like, which is thriller, horror, and suspense type of stories. Although
it was really tough coming up with one, so I started by finding inspirations from movies I watched
in the past like “Disturbia” a movie about a psychopath like “Dexter” and so
on. After writing the story I realised I want the story to have a feel of
tension, suspense but not horror as I want to maintain the drama aspect of it.
After that we
had use software called after effect which is a Software am not really familiar
with as I am more into non video editing ones. But thankfully we had days which
we were giving tutorials on how they work and how we can put them to use with
different effects in our final project. Although I believe we could have had
separate time with in depth tutorial because not everyone is a fast learner.
Even though it was a struggle for me at first as, eventually I was able to get
the hang of it by watching some after effect tutorial online and practicing what
have learned.
So my main
aim for my title sequence was to have an effect on the audience watching it, but
before that I had to put all the images/film my videos for the editing, and
without wasting so much time I got on it by taking pictures around my street, parks,
certain areas in the park etc. and for the effect I want during editing I had
to do some research on colour in movies and what they convey in other to match
the theme of my story.
Overall I think
it was a great chance for me to be able to learn so much along the way for
example learning to use after effect, and also developing my research method which
is very useful in other project as well.
