2. SUCCESS
As a whole, I believe that our whole title sequence has been very successful
comparing to the previous rough cut. We have made drastic improvements
which allow the audience to identify the films tone and atmosphere.
-Color grading has been improved in various shots. This has added to the
eerie and dramatic effect we wanted as many of our outdoor shots were to
bright in our previous rough cut.
-Sound layering has gone through major changes which resulted in an
amazing track which can play through the entire sequence. As planned we
were able to keep the prechers voice playing throughout the whole title
sequence without it boring the viewer. This is because we introduced other
sounds such as drones, organs and a length horror/thriller track. When
layered, they work really well which audiences credited us for our work.
Mis-En-Scene we included has worked extremely well in our title sequence.
The bibles and religious preacher alongside with crosses allow the audience
to get context and the films tone (religious related),the globe and the place
the pin is placed sets the location for the audience (America).
3. PROBLEMS
Although a majority of our title sequence is successful, there are a few
problems which exist hindering the successfulness our title sequence has
on our audiences.
Sound:
One of our problems is sound layering, although we have had a huge
change and improvement in our sounds, we still need to add more layers
onto our sequence. This is so that we can captivate the the tone we want to
delvier to our audiences. Once ore layering is done, we will be able to make
the viewers emotions change and develop throughout our sequence.
Titles:
-The major problem we have are the titles. The reason our titles have been
such a huge problem is because we have not spent enough time working on
them. The titles we included in our rough cut 1 were terrible. They did not
provide the viewers with peoples accredited roles and there were only 3
credits shown. In roughcut 2, there was a huge improvement where roles
such as director, written by and director etc are shown along with many new
names. However, the typography is awful, it does not suit the scenes shown,
nor does it hint at the films genre. It does not suit and looks too bland to be
included in our final cut (we knew this, the titles font were only a temporary
placement).
6. CONCLUSION
In conclusion I believe that we can improve our title
sequence by simply adding more layers and sorting, dding
and changing the current titles we have in our sequence.
This will make the whole title sequence seem more clean and
more impactful on the audiences allowing them to identify
the genres and allowing us to stick to the codes and
conventions to our films genre.
