BLOOPERS

CONSTRUCTION: BLOOPERS !

These are our bloopers which contains bloopers that have taken place during the course of filming or Horror film. Throughout this process in the beginning we found ourselves making a lot of mistakes but as time went on we began to get the hang of things. Bloopers did not occur so often when filming but we mainly had some "distracting" moments whilst filming. - enjoy :)

TYPES OF TITLE SEQUENCES

TYPES OF TITLE SEQUENCES

What is a title sequence?

A title sequence is the method by which films or television programs present their title, key production and cast members, or both, utilising conceptual visuals and sound. It usually follows but it should not be confused with the opening credits of a film/sequence, which are generally nothing more than a series of superimposed text.

The 4 main types of title sequences-

1. Discrete title sequences opening scene

• Usually there to set the mood and tone for the rest of the film. 

• It is known as a mini film, before the actual film. 

• An example would be James Bond; Skyfall. The title sequence of Skyfall sets the mood for the rest of the film, due to the sound, editing, cinematography and mise en scene. It includes a professional feel to the characters for wearing smart clothing, whilst being surrounded by graves, weapons and blood. The music which is by Adele sets a suspense mood and the editing and cinematography is done to manipulate the audience, James Bond steals the title sequence by featuring in it the most therefore the audience will recognise who will we expect to see most of in the actual film.

2. Stylised opening scene

• A stylised title sequence is something that relies mostly on it editing to set the mood. 

• A lot of the editing is used within the font and text shown, for example if it is sharp lettering, people assume the film will involve danger. 

• It is as though the text is within the actual scene itself 

• An example of this would be Zombieland

3. Credits over a blank screen opening scene

Credits over a blank screen 

• This is more of a subtle title sequence that is used. 

• Tends to usually involve a blank screen with a contrasting colour writing to show the maximum effect. 

• The mood usually varies depending on the colours and sound that is involved to set the tone of the film sequence.

• Sometimes this can be effective for thrillers as people have to make their own judgement of the film by the colours, font and sound involved.

4. Narrative sequence opening scene

This is also another simple but effective way of a title sequence because there is someone actually speaking to the audience. 

• This allows the audience to make a judgement and form an opinion of this character before they are introduced as an actual character in the film.

• This is done by the tone of their voice, whether their male or female, young or old. It allows the audience to get an insight to the character.
