Main Task

The Brief

"Film the opening sequence of a new fiction film, including titles, and a soundtrack that lasts approximately 2 minutes long."

There is 5 different things that I have to think about when doing the main task which are highlighted above as opening sequence, new fiction film, titles, soundtrack and 2 minutes long. To understand the brief completely I will find out what each of the main parts of the brief mean. This is explained below.

Opening sequence

• Introduces a style and theme of a film
• Includes a soundtrack
• Includes titles that are usually incorporated in the theme which include the actors names
• Establishes the scene of the film
• Has a colour scheme

New fiction film

• Has to be a new fiction film, with this theme to make it believable. A Fictional film is a film that tells a fictional or fictionalized story, event or narrative. In this style of film, believable narratives and characters help convince the audience that the unfoldingfiction is real.

Titles

• Name of the film
• Character and actor/actress names
• Order of importance, directors name usually last
• Font and size need to be thought about due to the different characters

Soundtrack

• Dialogue
• Background music
• Special Effects
• Forms of digetic and non-digetic sounds
• Foley sounds

2 minutes

• Needs to be at most 2 minutes long which is an appropriate length for a opening sequence,

Next, I will look at a range of opening sequence to get a greater understand of what it looks like and how I could attempt to do one by seeing how many scenes have been done, titles and how they fit into the scene but also how different sequences show the theme and style.
