Rough cut of our opening title sequence

This is the first rough cut of our opening title sequence. From this we have made many improvements, but without this rough cut, we would not of been able to structure our final opening title sequence as quickly as we did. This is because this draft version, acted as a base of which we could build on to come to our final opening title sequence.

One of the major improvements we made was through the lack of editing transitions. The rough cut consisted of simple cuts, with no fade transitions or dissolves. Therefore for the final opening title sequence we implemented a few editing fades to make the sequence look of a better quality.

We also reduced the length of some of the clips as they were quite long, and they made the audience loose a sense of atmosphere and tension, as they simply watched one of the characters looking through a draw for almost 10 seconds, which in a sequence that is only 2 minutes, that is a long time. Therefore we reduced the length of this scene to only 5 seconds, to keep the audience interested and not loose any atmosphere or tension.

We also added titles to our opening title sequence. The draft version did not include any titles, so thereby we added lots of them in order to for fill another convention of thriller opening title sequences. Without them, our sequence would not follow the conventions of thriller opening title sequences, an thereby be marked down by the examiner.

This is the final version of our opening title sequence, to demonstrate a clear comparisen of how the quality of our sequence has improved from the first draft to the final version.
