Opening Sequence First Draft Feedback

This is a feedback response to our opening sequence. We will plan to change various things in which we will use to help improve our grade. As a result we are planning to do two edits in which we will film at different locations, and edit differently. We will then see which one is best. We will also re-record some shots as they were jarring and very shaky, as could possibly effect our grade. We will re-record certain parts of the opening sequence (especially in the beginning). We are also planning to add and edit certain sound effects to make the sequence seem more natural and flow well. We will also cut bits of the opening sequence as the storyline seems to confuse many people- due to the numerous characters used. We will change this so people will be able to understand more clearly about the storyline within our opening sequence.

Credits and Titles

Location Shots

The first scene in the opening extract will be shown here when the camera will eventually zoom into a document with the protagonists name and picture on it. We want it to be based here as this location is based in a rural area and will provide a great opening. We may use a different location as we discuss the technical side of things when filming. However, this is our initial idea of where we want our first scene to be. 

For our opening sequence we decided to use a urban house, (which is actually my own home) in which the boss of the family, whose face is not seen will be located. We will use this location towards the end of the opening sequence when we are see the crime boss, as well as the various flashbacks which the main character has whilst running away. We decided to use this location as it seems quite normal and not dangerous, in contrast to the storyline of the film, in which the crime boss wants to hunt the main character down. We plan to use a close up and a medium shot within this location, as it is best suitable and you will able to see the crime boss of the family, whilst in an urban household. We also tend to use dark lighting in our recording in this specific location, as it is very mysterious and will not expose the face of the crime boss and will make the audience extremely interested in the storyline of the film.

Soundtrack

We decided to use this soundtrack in the end as we feel it gives more of a thrill to the audience and can fit in very nicely with the Action/Adventure opening sequence. I uploaded it to sound cloud so it can be used very easily and easily accessible for when we need it. Also, since its on sound cloud we could get comments to see how good it is.

Creating Titles in Photoshop and Premiere Pro

Production Indent

Our group had to create a Production Indent which would best convey our genre. This is a storyboard of how the title of our Production Indent would appear in our opening sequence "JailBreak Pictures". Is very reflective our genre as 'Jail Breaking' has action connotations which is our genre of opening sequence and so the audience will recognize that it is of the Action/Adventure genre, before the opening sequence begins.

Target Audience

Audience Feedback Reflection

 From our Feedback from the audience we gathered that the areas that need to be addressed are:

-Improvement on the synopsis.
- The impact the sidekick has in our opening sequence. How he will fit in the opening sequence.
- More detail in the death of his parents.
-The personality of the main protagonist contrasting with the sidekick character.

                                                                                     The changes we are planning to make are:

 -To edit the synopsis so that it will make more sense, and will explain the death of the protagonist's parents and the impact of the sidekick character.
- Change the personality of the main character and the sidekick so they do not have the same personality, but instead contrast.
- To find a name for the main protagonist as well as the sidekick character.
-Try to find a way we could include the sidekick character in our opening sequence.

Overall the Audience Feedback was very helpful                            and interesting as we were able to see the concepts the audience would want to be in the opening sequence. And getting a general opinion from the audience will help develop our opening sequence even further and improve areas that are vital to help us create a good opening sequence.
