Mapping of title sequences

Mapping of title sequences

For mapping out three title sequences has taught me that there are around 24 to 28 titles which appear in the majority of sequences. We will probably make our own around 25, including production companies, both pre and post production members, actors and of course the title of the film. The order we have created goes as follows:

·         (2-3 production companies) presents

·         The title of the film

·       3-6 main actors

·         1-2 of other less important actors

·         Starring (Main actor/ voice actor)

·         13-15 of pre-production workers

·         DIRECTOR

This may change around as we complete the project but the things which will stay the same is the overall order, the title of the film sometimes appears right at the end after the directors name. We may change this around when story boarding the actual thing. The rest of the jobs will stay in the same order; we still need to work out what pre-production jobs will appear within the opening sequence. From the mapped sequences these jobs are common to appear:

1.       Casting

2.       Costume design/ make up

3.       Visual/ special effects

4.       Music

5.       Co-producer/ producer

6.       Editor

7.       Production

8.       Screenplay

9.       Director of photography

10.   Exclusive producer

11.   Based on the book/ character by…

12.   Director

There are other jobs which depend on the genre, for example an action/ fantasy movie will have more special effects whereas a zombie movie will have most make up or costume designers.  As we are doing a fantasy movie more roles will be focused on the special effect and also the photography and cinematography as it will be heavily focused on setting and creating an imaginary world which is both believable but magical at the same time.
