AS opening sequence

Monday 29 March 2010

Feedback

As we were editing our opening sequence, we constantly asked for feedback to make sure that our film was on point. For example the effect of the font of our title as it was to big or to small. We wanted it to be bold and in red capital letters as the colour connotes that there is blood and crime involved in this film, which creates seriousness. In order to ensure this effect was achieved, we asked for feedback. Also during the process of making the titles for our statistics, we were advised to show each fact separately so it is more pleasing to the audience's eye and make them want to read it, as it play an important role in the narrative. To solve this we used transition effects to display each fact separated as this enables the audience to easily see what is on the screen rather than a huge amount of writing we started off with before.
