Timelining, storyboarding and re-creating this opening title scene for 'Juno' will help me with timing, storyboarding and creating my own titles in the opening scene to a film, making it look more profesional and avoiding cramming the titles into the start or end of the opening scene to my film. Recording the timing of the titles will also help me time my titles to music in the opening to a film.

I like the way music has been used in this opening scene for '28 weeks later'. It is very typical of a thriller as it builds a lot of tension because of the very slow paced and unpredictable notes with no distinguished rythem/ tempo. At the end of the scene the volume increases suddenly and the music changes which draws in the attention of the viewer.

Preliminary task

Last lesson me, Harrison, Molly and Dean filmed our preliminary task in school. We filmed in an empty classroom and used a variety of different shots and techniques to compose our short film. At the start I filmed Harrison walking upto the door of the room using a mid shot of his head and torso. As he opens the door I used match on action in order to give different perspectives of him entering the room and to focus attention on him walking into the room. As he came in I used a low shot on Dean to show he is an important and intimidating character and then an extreem close up of Harrisons eyes to show his fear of Dean. Then when they both sat down at the table, I used the 180 degree rule to film the conversation between the two. I used match on action again when Harrison took a phone from Dean in order for the focus to be on the handover. Finally I used framing, filming through the shape of a love heart, focusing on Harrison and Dean getting up and leaving to show the relationship between the two at the end of the film.
