This is our mood board. We chose these pictures and words because they are all to do with kidnappings and crime and they inspires us to decide on our storyline.

Title Sequences
Panic Room Title Sequence
A traditional title sequence has a certain order of titles that is present in most films. The order is; the producers name, the highest billing, the director, title of the film, the names of more actors, the cast names, names of the crew (editor, sound, lighting, director of photography), the director's name is featured again as the final name.
In this title sequence follows that structure.

Conventions of the Crime Genre
Each sub-genre of crime have different expectations from the audience but every sub-genre has some of the same conventions. For example, there are usually police involved, a crime that has been committed, expensive cars or houses, guns or knives, diagetic sound (gunshots, car engines) and natural lighting is used.
My group has chosen to create an action crime film. Our basic storyline is that someone breaks into the home of a woman and small child and kidnaps the child.

Preliminary Task
In my Preliminary Task, I worked with 2 other people in my class. The aim of the task was to produce a simple edited sequence that didn't break any of the rules of filming, for example, the 180 degree rule, match on action and shot-reverse-shot.
In my preliminary task, I did the filming of the sequence and helped decide on the plot of the short clip. The things we did well in the task were the variety of different camera shots and angles and made the camera steady by using a tripod. We stuck to the rules of filming and kept it simple like our teacher said to do. The setting we chose worked well with the plot we used.
In doing the preliminary task I have learnt how to film effectively, using a tripod and a variety of different shots that are approapriate to what is happening in the scene. I have learnt how to use the editing software to produce a good quality edit. I have also learnt the rules of filming and why they are important.
If I were to do this task again I would shoot more footage from a lot more different angles.

Welcome to my Blog
This blog is for my AS Media Coursework which is to create an opening title sequence to a crime film. This blog will record every aspect of the research, designing, making and editing of the film and show my progress through what I have acheived with my group.
