Considering conventions...


Me, whom am in charge of the titles, have started to consider the presentation to an extent of the opening title sequence and after seeing some previous years of opening title sequences produced by welling school students it is evident, that a lot have used the starting title of the film producer and or distributer. This would really help to connote the films backing in terms of support, finance and production thus giving the impression of a recognised film company that the film will be most likely to be a box office success. I feel that adding this to the opening title sequence ill make our opening title sequence look more professional thus giving the impression that it is not produced by school children.
The opening credit for ours would be for universal pictures which we originally decided to use as they are well recognised in the business giving the impression of credibility and ability to make mass films securing great grossing profits; which is after all the main reason this industry has been regarded as wealthy. Also, films that usually produce a great first outcome lead to good reputations for the film thus indicating a sequel will be the following project.

Also the fact that this piece of footage would be evident would give it a hallmark of the industry in which would mean a convention thus once again making it look "real". The reason in which I have chosen this opening credit of the universal over the others is because currently this is the most current thus meaning the newer demographic which markets aim films at usually would recognise this credit over the older edition more likely. The main audience in which a film aims its film at is a fourteen year old male.

This would be an almost convention like replica and the placement of this would have to be at the beginning of the film as it is the usual preference of placement. Putting this at the beginning I feel works really well ads we have a separate title for universal to come up in another font so having this recognised font at the beginning will re-illiterate the message thus being easier to question who made the film.
