Today I have been thinking of what age our audience would be and I would say 15-18 years. I have come up with this as our film is about hate crime that is about homophobia in a school so I think that my age group would understand it more. I think the horror would come from the fact that stuff like does happen in schools and of course we would make it gruesome and add twists in there and have a brilliant cliff hanger.

Text from Se7en......
Seeing how much I now love the film Se7en (souly based on it's title sequence I do find it quite scary) I was well glad when I found this on Google.
It is the text they have used for the titles I absolutely love it, it is so creepy and I love the way in some parts it looks religious (if that makes sense) it is like someone is writing it and, like when at school you were made to write lines, that is what the text reminds me of; like someone writing down the seven deadly sins.
The Wait.....
I am really gutted I have been really ill so I wasn't able to go in school today and upload my title sequence to my blog. I am really nervous about what Nina Alan and Leanne are going to think of my film but I know that it will help me in the long run but i don't want them to be too brutal.
I know I could of worked harder on this project than what I have and it will probably show in my grade but I have really enjoyed doing this project I have learned alot. I had never used imovie before this as in year 11 I used to do the written work along with another one in my group and the others used to handle the making of the film so it was like entering another world when it came to it. Gerry really helped me with it and taught me alot.

Me on Kyle Cooper!
Kyle Cooper said that if a title sequence is done greatly then it can make the main titles the first initial scene of the film and I really agree with that comment. I am not saying that our title sequence is great and it's perfect but i do believe that we have done so that it has turned into the first initial scene of the film; it is the first death and it sets the mood for the rest of the film and engages the focus of the audience.
Also when he said in the documentary about it being like choreography I can relate to that because there are parts in it where Jack is walking and we had to makes sure that it is in time with the next clip of him walking and it is also about keeping the continuity so that it makes sense and runs smoothly.
He has really helped me with this project and has became my true inspiration for this project as well.

Documentary on Kyle Cooper and his Business Imaginary Forces!
I found a documentary on kyle Cooper and his business Imaginary Forces and I found that it was very knowledgeable.
As I have already said Kyle cooper is compared to Saul Bass as he has made a mark in the title sequence industry. Kyle wanted to take main titles where music videos were going, it was hard but it was a film resolution. "The way to get out of the 'in pigeon hold' is by remembering it's all about conceptional design, it's about coming up with an idea and it can be for any market be on any platform as long as it is a really good idea." "It is kind if like choreography, making sure it all fits in and runs smoothly and is watchable. The also said that every client and project has a unique creative solution to it; which just shows how much works goes in to title sequences and that you never get bored doing them.
Sometimes they are are sent scripts of the movie or rough cuts of it which can sometimes be four hours long and then its made into a two hour movie but sometimes the director has and idea or a sketch which means then they have to work very collaboratively with the director.

Mission Impossible!
This film to me is a legend I love it. The film is action packed from the start, I think what Kyle Cooper said about great title sequences becoming the first scene of the film is true in this case it doesn't let the film down at all, it is full of action as well and gets the audience hooked and giving them a reason to stay to watch it.Quotes from an interview with Kyle Cooper!
Q: "What makes a good title sequence?"
A: "It makes you thrilled to be in this theatre at this moment, getting ready to see this movie. It makes you glad that you are nowhere else in the world except where you are, getting ready to see something amazing."
Q: "Some films almost totally neglect their titles. Why do you think they are so important?"
A: "It depends on the movie. They can make no difference whatsoever or they can make the film better. Some films are good enough without them. Some films need a first scene and the best titles become the first scene of the movie."
Q: "At what stage of a film do the titles start to be put together?"
A: "The majority of the work we do on titles comes at the post-production phase of the film. Sometimes the creative process will begin before this point, but the onset of our production is usually in its final stages of the movie."
