G321 - Timeline of opening (focusing on titles)

In this lesson we created a timeline which showed the titles for an opening film. The reason we did this was because when it comes to our group making our film we need to start thinking about the titles as they are very important in an opening! I chose the opening of my sisters keeper because it's a popular tragic drama which is helpful because it's the genre I'm doing.

1.41 - Executive producers name
1.51 - "Based on novels" name
1.55 - Producers names
2.01 - Screen plays names
2.05 - Directors name
2.05 - End

By doing this task we have started to realise how important the titles are in the opening, this opening is only 2 minutes yet it has 15 titles! We noticed that the title came up very early in this opening as well (wouldn't want ours to come up so quickly. When we come to making our film opening we will defiantly need to add in all the titles because they are very important as that's what makes and opening an opening.
