Making A Film Opening With Jelly Babies

Making A Film Opening With Jelly Babies

To get a better understanding of how titles are used in a film opening we carried out this activity within groups. we were given jelly babies to use as characters in are film opening. we were also given sticky notes to write the titles on as well as writing the camera angles used. Here are the pictures of the task:

Camera angles and breif description	Close up on Obama giving a speech	Long/arc shot on Obama behind crowd	Close Up on Obama	Extreme close up on Obama sweating
Title sequence	Red time pictures	In association with karabashi toe sock production	And Small Shoe Productions	Kevin Heart as Obama

Camera angles with a brief description	Close up on Obama giving his speech	Extreme close up on Obama panicking	POV from Obama watching Omar exposing the bomb	Long shot of Omar killing other guards	Arial shot from helicopter
Title sequence	Kevin Heart as Obama	Adam Sandler as Omar	And Small Shoe Productions	Katye Upton as Susan	Donald Trump as security guard

The genre we chose to do was an Action-Comedy. While doing the activity we had to think about what the opening sequence would show. This was important as we wanted to include part of the narrative but didn't want to reveal to much of the plot. By doing this activity it will help me when I make my film as it has built on my understanding on how film sequences work.
