Making the Opening Title sequence Roles

Production Roles

We now, as a group had to decide allocated roles for the production part of or opening title sequence so that the majority of the work has a fair and even contribution from everyone. Our teacher thought that allocate roles in production would work well as it meant more could get done to higher standard but, still work cohesive as a group with the oversee of the director thus meaning a high standard opening title sequence.

In terms of the democratic process of choosing who should have each role it was more about what roles needed what skills and what interested the person. Below shows who enquired each role and why:

Titles = Thomas Madden. I took the specific role of titles as, I have an interest into the idea of titles and how visually text connotes thematic and the narrative of the film. Out of everyone I took this role because I feel that I can offer research as well as analytical skills. Personally I would have preferred Louise taking the role as, she is fantastic at graphics but, it would be unfair as, she has put such great detail into the preliminary edit of some of the footage.

 

Sound and special effects = Daisy Moore. Daisy took this role which I was most pleased about as, she is great with smooth transitions; this is evident in the footage so far which has been fantastic in abiding the storyboard and improving upon our initial thoughts. Daisy is also rather good at using the computer so hopefully the programming of after effects will be best suited to her.

Editing = Louise Taylor. Louise has so far completed an edit which was fantastic in terms of cutting accurately and abiding by the storyboard. Her skills with Final cut pro that she has required over the past months has been of high standard and I feel that the edit would be best suited to her as, Louise has that past experience.

Director = Nicola Vickery. Nicola is basically the leader of the production in terms of making the crucial decisions of what we do next and if what we have completed is good enough for the opening title sequence. So far, Nicola has been a good leader using her initiative when on set and in the classroom.
