The Right Kind Of Wrong Title Sequence Analysis

Lucy showed me this film and told me to look at the title sequence.

The Right Kind Of Wrong's title sequence is very similar as to what I envisioned  for our title sequence, mixed with a little of Catfishs' title sequence. I think that this social media title sequence shows modern youth.

Feedback from first draft

On Monday Terry and Aiden helped me to reshoot the blurry/ out of focus/ too dark frames for our title sequence.

I wasn't in on Tuesday for a double period lesson. The boys presented our first draft to Shaun and this is what I was told by the boys what the feedback was:

Need to:

• Add more images to the series of photos that contain girls or suggest that the protagonists are heterosexual 
• Screengrab filming on the macs
• Remove repeated photos 
• Equalize the amount of photos per protagonist 

Catfish Title Sequence Analysis

 I chose to analyse Catfish: The Movie's title sequence as it uses a similar style that we want for our title sequence, by using online/facebook within the title sequence.

Catfish: The Movie

The title sequence begins with the production companys' titles on the screen, however they have been edited so they are more pixel and look like they belong on a computer; which would suggest to the audience that the film is about the internet and what happens on the internet.

 

 

The sequence is slowly paced through camera work, editing and sound which could show that the film is a documentary, and also that the film is shot over a long period of time. Unlike the way this is filmed, I want our title sequence to seem quite fast paced (not only to fit it into 2 minutes, but also) to emphasise that the protagonists have fun together and spend most of their time together.

 

 

 

The use of extreme close ups doesn't tell you much about the people in the film and what it is about but hints privacy. The iconic symbol of a silhouette of a man suggests anonumity and hiding. The camera movement is clean but slow paced, again suggestive of the documentary style of filming. The font in the titles is simple and easy to read as it is a san serif font. The white font contrasts with the 'dirty white' of the computer screen which makes it easy to read instead of white on white being hard to read. Similarly I would like something like this for our titles font, maybe instead of white, use a red on specific words and maybe two different fonts to suggest the horror genre.

 

The camera pans down from the blue/white contrast. The blue reminds me of social medias, I think this is more of the stereotypical facebook blue colour. The font is easy to read and stands out (because of the contrast of negative and positive space), for our film I think this font would be too simplistic for the title.

Research

This is some more research into sound. We were worried that our original song would sound too 'Pop'ish.

A Zombie Movie Draft

This is the first draft of our title sequence. I think the opening the laptop parts need to be reshot as some of them are too dark or out of focus. I had some feedback from Lucy who suggested that we could film the title sequence actually on the computer, so it would look cleaner, professional and of a better quality. We also need to add a video that Terry has on his phone to upload.
