Some of the points on the checklist involve some additional tasks to improve your work, which involve making use of some links here.
AS NEW TASKS- but blog them with an earlier date to show up as research!
1. Go to the link for film openings on youtube and watch THREE of the openings, one of which at least should be from a film you have never seen. Note which three film openings you looked at and then choose ONE of the three and say what you find interesting about it as an opening- such as camerawork or setting or character or whatever- and why. Paste that opening onto your blog as well or do a screengrab.
2. Now try some searches on youtube for student film openings- you may have to try a range of searches, such as 'AS media projects' or 'student films' or 'G321 film opening'. There are loads on the accounts of Hurtwoodmedia and Latymermedia but you may find other schools and colleges. Again choose one, paste it onto your blog and write about what you think the STRENGTHS and the WEAKNESSES are of the sequence.
3. In Photoshop, design a production company logo for your film- giving yourself a company name. There are some examples here of idents which move, but a static one would be fine.
4. Some people have already done this, (e.g. Kim and Charlotte) but you should all have a go at the task involving looking closely at titles, as suggested on monday. Pick an opening (film) from 'art of the title' and watch the sequence, download it to your computer if you can to enable you to look at the timeline. Get a big sheet of plain paper and mark out a timeline, then go through and write on it where each title comes in. Seethe Juno example as a model. Then take a photo of it and upload to Flickr and paste to your blog. Write a few lines explaining what it is about. This should give you a really good model for your own layout of a title sequence, including timings and jobs.
