25 Word Pitch

Crime Fiction: Superbad meets Catch Me If You Can
One man on the run from the police, in attempt to finish the job.

Saul Bass Practical - Anatomy of a Murder


Here the class learnt how to produce a stop start animation. I worked in a group of three and we cut out pieces of paper to match the shapes of the body shown in the original anatomy of a murder title sequence. Above is my finished edit from the pictures we had taken. I used final cut pro to join an array of photos, in order to create a full video opening. I also used text and fonts that were as similar as that of the original opening sequence.

WWW - What Went Well
 I was very proud with the opening we managed to do and I felt we managed the continuity of the images best, allowing a smooth run of the opening. I also felt we used the accurate amount of images in order to produce a free flowing sequence that was neither to quick, nor to slow.

EBI  - Even Better If
Although i feel that the overall creation of the opening was successful, I was disappointed with the fact that we were unable to completely finish our rendition of the opening sequence. We also struggled with our focus of the camera and managing how to keep even the smallest parts of the body in focus.

My Favourite Title Sequence

After doing some research and looking at title sequences that I enjoy, whether it be their style i like or maybe the abstract effects they use, I was able to choice my favourite title sequence and analysis it in depth, while also presenting the PowerPoint i had created to the class and demonstrating why i liked the title sequence so.

Here is the PowerPoint presentation I created about my favourite title sequence for the film, "Catch me if you can":
