TITLE SEQUENCE TIMELINE


This is my textual analysis on 'Skyfall' OPENING TITLE SEQUENCE, I have benefited from this title sequence as it has given me more creative ways to set out my own title sequence because the way it is very discreet as to what is going to happen in the movie. However this builds tension and makes you want to know why he is shooting himself? what has he done? By doing this it also means you can notice the titles in it which are very bold and do not give away a lot. With the music in the background it does not give away to much as it points out the obvious Song Lyrics By Adele: "Let the sky fall, When it crumbles, We will stand tall... Face it all together". Overall this has given me a lot more ideas for my own opening title sequence.

Final Idea

My final idea: 

A girls dream about being kidnapped and wakes up, then she noticed her dream becomes reality, when she wakes up. As she’s living her normal life, she experiences her dream as it comes to reality throughout her day.  

Audience research: 

We ask various amount of people how they felt toward our final idea. The first question was “what would you change about our final idea?” they responded by saying we should add flash backs and make them a reality .We also asked “what would you change about our idea?” so they responded by saying that the movie should be based on the main character instead of other people. Our third question was “where do you think is the best place to set the film?” they responded by saying that it would be great if it was set in a house as it will make it much more realistic. This idea will make our opening scene more meaningful as it’s in a relatable scenario. Our fourth question was “do you think that this idea relates to the thriller genre?” many people responded by saying that yes it did very much relate to the genre but we should be careful to not make it consist of too much action ,which will end up drifting away from the main genre thriller.

4 Ideas + Feedback


4 Ideas + Feedback:

1: A girl dreams about being kidnapped and wakes up but sees her dream becoming reality when she wakes up.

Feedback:

“It sounds very suspenseful, but however make sure it does not have more action aspects than thriller!”

“I would rather you include some flashbacks as this would build tension with the viewer and make them feel as if what happened in her dream is going to happen in reality.”

 
2: 2 best friends have the same high school crush, 1 is jealous of the other and sends death notes anonymously and later kills his best friend followed by himself.

Feedback:

“This is a great idea! However I don’t think this would create a lot of suspense, I think it follows the Horror genre more than the Thriller”

“I would improve this by making the ending a little more pleasant, but still keep the suspense and tension”

3: Little girl born to look normal but as she gets older parents notice she is something un-natural.

Feedback:

“This idea seems unrealistic and hard to produce however it has potential”

“This sounds more like a Horror movie, and it also seems impossible to make as you would not have parent actors”

 
4: 2 groups of 5 friends get stranded in a forest whilst out camping, and they fight each other for survival.

Feedback:

“Good idea, I think you should have the friends going missing mysteriously and eventually only 2/3 people survive, as this will build suspense”

“This sounds like a typical thriller and if you make it a little more suspenseful it will define the film genre”
