Brainstorming of Opening tile sequence and storyboards

This is our brainstorm of our opening tile sequence it is basically showing our main themes and how we wanted it to look. To do this we sat down as a group and brainstormed the necessities of our genre and how we wanted it essentially to turn out. 

We focused on the setting, thematic, narrative and characters specifically in this brainstorm. We wanted to go into the iconography aspects in detail as, this will give the thematic of family loyalty. This will be represented through the old photographs. The phone will essentially give the impression of the spy and gadgets as well as the idea of secrecy. Other iconography items such as : a gun, a watch, a magnifying glass and a posh car as it once again links to the idea of the spy adventure genre and will set up the impression of the spy on an adventure. The wedding ring will also give the impression of a love within his life and that this may foreshadow problems or happiness to occur.

The iconography also helped to show thematically aspects within the narrative such as a water gun. The water gun will hopefully connote the childish aspect of the stereotypical ''dopey'' sidekick, giving the impression that he is comical, irresponsible and feather-brained. The idea of a bird ''pooping'' from the sky landing in a composition on the protagonist's arm will give the impression that he is dopey but underlay the message that luck is yet to foreshadow in the narrative.

The graph paper, was discussed in thorough detail as, we wanted to somehow incorporate this into the opening title sequence so we had the idea that it could get scrunched up and chucked near a bin, this would give the impression that the protagonist is rather organized and structured. This will hopefully be incorporated into the tile to give the impression of cohesion and continuity throughout the opening title sequence. 

We then had to put this to show by making a storyboard for our opening title sequence to do this we each sat down, completed a quick 30-shot description and then put them onto the storyboards but, only the drawings. 

Other aspects in which we added was desk in which he sits down at, this would emulate the life of a spy and a job in office, almost in a way an intertextual reference to Superman and the idea of a secret life. We also used the element of ‘’fire’’ as, almost a reference to danger that will foreshadow the narrative.

Then, so that it was fair we each got a sheet and had to do description of sound and the shot and so type. The storyboard will be essential to get a good ending resolution as it gives us something to follow and read into if we are unsure of where to go next. This will help the role of the cinematographer as; it is evidence of how to follow it.

 It is also crucial for Prior to finishing we all each divided the storyboards once again and shared pencil and gave the drawings colour this gave a professional look and make us more aware of the lighting and colour co-ordinations withinthe opening title sequence.Louise, as, she now needs to find out where to source the items and the locations as well.
