Sound

We have videod all this shots we need with varying camera shots and are now editing it to make the title sequence come together. Originally we were going to use the song 'ironic' as it fits well with the narrative as the main character has bad luck the whole way through and by the end receives good luck however, we felt the song didn't fit very well with the sequence when we played it so instead recorded a song called 'Life' by our freind Lucy.  With help from feedback by the target audience, we have decided to change the song to a more upbeat song as it is a comedy, we also thought we should have a boy singing it as it is a boy main character. The song we are using now is our friend's Charles Smith and Max Baxter's version of  'Mardy Bum' originally by The Arctic Monkeys.

Logo

Logo

 

We created quite a simple logo. Our research into logos showed that it doesn't necessarily need to be linked to the genre. We made it quite brightly coloured to grab the audiences attention without taking too much attention away from the title sequence and the film.

Shooting Schedule 

 

This is a shooting schedule so we can make sure we are not lacking camera shots. A particular point of error in out preliminary exercise was not planning shooting thoroughly.

 

 

 

 

Roles of the Group

 

Beth- My role was deciding how we were going to make the concept a reality such as considering the risks and how it would fit together organising a timeline etc.

Elise- Elise's role was to figure out a concept and create the ideas and story behind the title sequence such as: making a storyboard and putting the initial ideas down then developing them to make them possible to be in a title sequence.

 

Storyboard

StoryBoard

Here is a brief photo storyboard we created to help us plan how our title sequence was going to run, what order would work best and how to include a range of shots. From this storyboard we have since added shots and changed it around a little to hopefully make the sequence more consistent and run more smoothly whilst also being more technically correct.

Planning

Here are some examples of how we have been planning our title sequence. We have finished planning the concept and considering actors and props and have now moved on to planning when and where we are going to do the shooting. Below are pictures of things we need to collect before we begin filming, what we need to record seperately with a voice recorder and what days we are going to do things. We realised in our preliminary exercise we did previously that we needed to do more thorough planning as we struggled previously with forgetting to do shots because we hadn't completed a shooting schedule for example.

Planning

Risk Assessment

 

Here we indentified the risks that could be involved with the narrative of our title sequence and then established ways in which we could control these and put things in place to avoid accidents.

Narrative

Our title sequence involves a boy on his daily morning routine which is quite basic and recognisable by the target audience. We see the character face consistent bad luck throughout the title sequence as he tries to go about his daily routine but faces obstacles and misfortune. As the character sets about leaving the house we see his journey and then when he is outside we hear him recall and have a flashback of this weekeneds lottery draw and go to his pocket to check his own ticket, as we have just seen the characters great misfortune consistently throughout the sequence we now see him win the lottery which contrasts greatly.

Lizzie mcguire analysis

The Lizzie Mcguire movie title sequence analysis

This title sequence uses the main character (Lizzie Mcguire) giving the audience a taster into her personality and what the film will be about. The choice of the music, Atomic Kitten's 'The tide is high, used throughout fits in with the genre which is comedy. It is also a well known song which will appeal to the films target audience which is teenagers. Names of the actors and characters are edited over the top through the clip. 

There are cuts to a cartoon version of Lizzie Mcguire which keeps appearing. This makes the clip more fun and represents what she is thinking, again suited to the target audience.This character is immediately shown to have bad luck from the start as a sheet falls on her. Luck and fortune are the main themes in our title sequence. Lizzie is shown to be like a typical teenage girl not finding anything to wear, this appeals to the target audience as they will be able to relate to it because they will probably do the same. 

The mise en scene is used to show the actors names in different ways by the cartoon character, for example on a scarf she throws out of a drawer and on a jacket she zips up. This is an example of using mise en scene cleverly to keep the audience interested and show the names in a variety of different ways so they fit in with the title sequence and the main film instead of just being written normally.

Lizzie is dancing around and singing to the song in her room, it is shown as though she doesn't know the cameras are there as it is supposed to look like it is her annoying little brother who is filming her with a remote control toy car. This adds to the humour, adhering to the comedy genre while also appealing to the target audience as most of them will probably have an annoying little sibling. This also gives an incite into what his character will be like in the film.

This builds up suspense for the audience in the narrative of the title sequence as they don't know what is going to happen, she may find out about her brother or not. This keeps the audience interested and entertained so they want to carry on watching. The title sequence ends in Lizzie falling in the bath and the cartoon Lizzie falling on soap, showing the bad luck this character has. She then see's the toy car and the music fades out for the film to start.
