My partner and I started creating the foundation of our title sequence with the script. We were struggling initially because we had an idea for the basis of our film at the beginning of this project. However, once we started to research about genre conventions and watched other title sequences in genres similar to ours, we realized that our idea needed improvement. The issue with our initial idea was that it was too similar to something of a short film, rather than just a title sequence. We were trying to pack too many events into a 2 minute video, which we had to change. So we came up with a new idea that we think will work better and we wrote the script for it, so as of right now this is our plan.
Beginning shows the evidence of a murder taking place, includes blood, dead body in white costuming (actress), murder weapon, possibly broken window, hand prints, finger prints, feet prints; include long takes and pedaling shots of evidence, fading between evidence
Graphic match to detective from newspaper fade
Start off showing the newspaper that has all the murder details and that’s an intro for the murder and then it goes to the detective talking about it
Detective is holding newspaper and reading about the murder details and what happened and then it shows a male detective that she works with snatching the newspaper out of her hands saying like this case is really difficult we dont have any leads on it so you shouldnt be doing this leave this to the men
Most likely include
Girl takes a spare newspaper, looks at it, possibly realizes something
- Close up then fades to black, cue title
- Close up of her, then shows her walking out of the room
