STUDENTS WORK FROM 2013 - REVIEW

TRAVELLER OPENING SEQUENCEThis title sequence received 20 marks which is a U-E.They received this mark because there is very little evidence of creativity such as with the titles they were not placed nor shown in a unique way such as placed near the trees or change in position they only showed 2 titles including the title which also demonstrated a lack of editing skills. The first title is seen below. Lastly, there was very little control of camera ands it looked like a tripod was not used and was filmed by hand which shows the disregard of the framing.This was not a convincing title sequence as I could tell little effort was put into the editing.

THE VENGENACEThis title sequence received 36 marks which is a B-C. They received this mark because effective titles were used and there is vast amount of evidence of proficiency in the creative use of many of the skills such as editing. By the end of the sequence the pace speeds up giving the audience a clue that something is not right. The sound and images were also used appropriately as they changed and stopped for each scene.I did not find this sequence very convinced because of the poor quality and lighting although they may have done this to fit the codes and conventions of their genre.

TORN This title sequence received 56 marks which is a A-B They received the mark they did because there was excellent evidence of creative use of many of the technical skills such as using appropriate material for the target audience for example the doll. The title also fit very well into the film as the font was white and perfected and stood out against the background catching my attention. Lastly, the soundtrack used was fast paced and chosen perfectly as it made the protagonist seem he was up too something more than shown.I think this is a very convincing opening sequence as they established the characters, locations and didn’t give to much away while still having the audiences attention throughout the whole 2 min 30 secs.
