Opening Titles

In todays lesson we spent the first few minutes running over how far we were into our pre-production stages, once we had set the final deadline we started to look at opening credits in which we can use in our Horror Opening. We watched several opening titles to films, taking notes on what things appeared and the order they appeared in. For example we noted that the Production and Distribution companies seemed to always be the first things we saw and then it would continue into showing the main actors/actresses names. However this was not always the case. I will now go off to look at three film openings

• Dawn of the Dead
• Splice
• Mimic

I will view these openings on www.artofthetitle.com and record the order of titles to appear on the screen. I will also start researching on the BBFC's website (www.bbfc.co.uk) in order to start to understand what can and can't be included in a '15' rated film.
