Title Sequence Storyboard
7 Minute Title Sequence Storyboard
This is the title sequence storyboard for our film, 7 Minutes. The title sequence begins with a pull focus from a tree to the surrounding area.
This is then followed by the first title. The first title shows the definition for the 7 Minute theory, which is the underlying idea for our film. This definition appears on screen through a typewriter effect.
The next shot shows a second shot of the park where the most important scenes will take place.
The next title shows 'An Unknown Productions Film', informing the audience of who created the film.
The next shot is a final shot of the par.
The final title shows the name of our film, 7 Minutes.

Shortened Journey - A2 Media
This is the elliptical edit of our journey. This version has numerous shots cut out which shortens the overall time. This reflects how our film is going to be edited.
Full Journey - A2 Media
This is the full journey with no shots cut out. This was our first chance at using the new equipment and to further develop our editing skills on Adobe Premier Pro. The location of this journey was at our college.

Video Questionnaire-Analysis of results.
Video Questionnaire Analysis
From our video questionnaire we found that our target
audience, teenagers/young adults, prefer to watch thriller films rather than
horror, comedy, Drama, or action films. Our short film, 7 Minutes supports this
research as our genre is thriller.
Our target audience also tend to watch films at home rather
than the cinema. The proliferation of the internet and online devices has
produced sites such as Netflix and Amazon Instant Video which allow audiences
to watch films within the comfort of their own home which makes viewing films
cheaper and more convenient.
When we asked our audience where they would expect to see our
film the majority of people voted for the cinema with the other people voting
for online and TV. This shows that the cinema is still the major platform for
distributing and watching new films.
Our audience, when asked what genre they would give our film,
voted mainly for a thriller. The other two votes were for drama and horror.
This shows that when reading the story line of our film the generalised tone of
the film is more likely suited to the thriller genre. This proves that our
film, as intended, will follow the thriller genre.
All of our audience said that they fully understood the storyline
meaning that our film is not too hard to follow, this is beneficial for us as
more people will enjoy the film if they can understand it. It also shows we
have planned and structured our storyline well.
Our audience suggested the target audience of our film was
either teenagers or 12-15 year olds. This highlights we have planned our
storyline accurately to suit our intended target audience. However, our
audience would give our film an age certificate of 15. Therefore, we will have
to review the amount of violence, expletive language and other illegal
activities in order to make sure our film fits the age certificate of a 12 or
12a.
The audience gave very mixed opinions on where an ideal
location would be to shoot our film. This means it will be easier for us to
choose a location as it would be successfully filmed in a range of place. The
majority vote by the audience was a hospital. This location fits with the genre
of our film, thriller therefore further emphasises we have accurately matched
our film with our genre.
The majority of the audience could not think of any
suggestions to further improve our film. However, one point that was made is to
add more action between the 3rd and 6th minute. We will
review our film and try and add more scenes within this timeframe to ensure the
audience enjoy and understand the film.
None of the audience could think of any films that were
similar. This suggests our film is unique and would be successful as it’s
something the audience has never really watched before. We shared our pre film questionnaire to our twitter
page. Twitter is a social media app where people can follow anyone around the
world and see what they post. This will give us the opportunity to get a wide
range of responses for our questionnaire

Social Media
We shared our pre film questionnaire to our twitter page.
Twitter is a social media app where people can follow anyone around the world
and see what they post. This will give us the opportunity to get a wide range
of responses for our questionnaire.
We also shared
our pre film questionnaire on Facebook, another social media app where you
become friends with people by accepting their request or them accepting yours.
They will then be able to see everything you post. This is useful because the
majority of our friends are a similar age to us which is also within our target
age group. This means the responses we get back will be reliable as these are
the type of people that will be watching our film.

Title Sequence Analysis
Jessica Jones
Overall Impression
The overall impression of this title sequence is that it conveys mystery in different ways. It doesn't give away any clues to what might happen in the series. However, it shows that people are people watched without them knowing and conveys the feeling that people are trying to hide something. It holds similar ideas to Alfred Hitchcock's film, ‘Rear Window’, through the way it watches people in the back streets of a city. The abstract design of the title sequence also adds effect to the mystery as there is little detail given way.
Genre
From the title sequence, you get a sense that the genre is thriller as it conveys a sense of mystery and searching.
Cinematography
The next shot shows a character being watched by someone from a car. The long shot shows that they are being followed, along with the outline of the car window reflecting the idea that the character doesn't know they are being watched.
Another medium shot shows a character peering from a window whilst drawing back a curtain. This again signifies that they have something to hide, adding to the mystery of the sequence.
This medium shot show two people running away, this could mean that there is some form of danger, proving evidence for the thriller genre.
This extreme close up could show that this is the main character. The focus on their eye could convey that they are the ones watching and following people.
Sound
The non-diegetic sound used in the title sequence rises in tension as the sequence moves on. To begin with, the music starts slow, adding to the mysterious tone.
Editing
The main types of editing used in this sequence are cut and fade. The sequence begins with a fade from black. The fades add to the mysterious feel. Slow paced editing is also used to add to the mystery and rhythmic editing is used to cut between shots on the beat of music.
Mise-En-Scene
Low-key lighting is used to add a mysterious effect, creating shadows which lead to a sense of danger and secrets.
