This week we made practise film openings. We have used the idea of 'table top' filming. We decided to do this in groups of 2 and 3. Our brief was to film in one continuous take and to also introduce a part of life action.
Research
Before filming our 'table top' sequence we decided to research 3 other films using Art of the title. We viewed Delicatessen (1991, Jean-Pierre Jeunet). We noticed how the inventive camerawork tells a story and sets the theme. Another title that was very interesting was 'To kill a Mocking bird'. Last years students also had some unique sequences. We then used these as inspiration to create our own titles using our own props.
Planning
Before filming started, we had to come up with our own story line. Megan and I decided to base our 'table top' exercise on a girl gone missing. We then laid out all of our props that were elements of our film narratives. We also researched and discussed music tracks for the sound track. Our aim was to find something that would grip the viewers. One of our options was Nostalgia by Emily Barker which was the Wandler theme tune.
Filming
We filmed in one continuous sequence in order for the film opening to flow and grip and intrest the viewers. After, we filmed the 'live action' element, uploaded the footage into the editing software and planned our titles, editing, special effects and sound tracks.
