and is called on YouTube; Vindicate Film Opening Title Sequence (A GRADE) - AS Media Studies 2014.
I first would like to talk about its time. The specification of this that is 2 minutes long and this video is 2 minutes 7 which is good as they have stuck to the specification. Further more it starts of with a logo (home-made) which shows they can add titles and also make a logo for there production. You only see the logo for about 2-4 seconds which is good as it gets straight into the opening sequence. While this is happening there is a voice over which is telling the viewers what's happened and why they are there which sets the scene for the viewers so they aren't in the dark to what it is about.
The first seconds it shows a large range of shots with also a background music setting tension. There is also more titles which they name the character within the clip. They also are wearing props which he looks like a police officer. There location is a house which they have fit a story line within the household as they have more props guns and are searching the house. The story line flows and the audience knows what happening but is also intruded to know what's going to happen.
More titles have been added for example 'directed by' and 'costume and props by' Constantly the clip is changing shots which as this is a upbeat opening sequence its suits and fits and keeps the audience watching at all times In case they miss anything.
Special effects then have been used because as they search the house the camera then goes to a gun (the eye of the gun?) watching one of the people searching the house. It then goes to the credits which say 'Vindicate' but goes from a white background to a red and then back to white with a shooting sounds this suggest someone got shots however the viewers don't know if they did the opening sequence is just portraying that.
Taking the good points from this opening sequence and using them in my opening sequence.
The use of props was very good, which made it more realistic for the viewers.
The start where they have a logo but also have a short summary of what's happening so it enables the viewer to have a limited amount of knowledge within the first 5 seconds of watching the opening sequence.
Taking the back points from this opening sequence and understand why not to use them in my opening sequence.
I think sometimes this opening sequence comes across as a trailer as there is a lot happening for the first two minutes which goes against the specification so when making my opening sequence I think I have to very carful with what footage I have in my clip.
Finally at the end there is a plain black screen for about 10 seconds which has no purpose I don't think there is any need for it so it should of been edited out.
Here is the clip I analysed.
