Old Vs New Title Sequence

To Kill A Mockingbird - Old
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rP5MutuPVxk
Whilst watching this sequence I noticed how it was slow in transaction and slow starting. It showed a child going into his draw with various items in it and moving it about, this showed that the film will be based around the child and the connotation represents innocence and purity. The music is slow and elegant which goes nicely with the movement of the camera whilst going past various items in the draw.

SuperBad - New

Superbad is a great sequence to show how new film intros can be shown. With the technology today, we include old styled music whilst green screen's and computer editing make it different to add several people doing the same thing or different thing on the screen. It shows how technology has advanced and how it makes it possible to do different styles to the opening sequence whilst it gives mainly nothing away apart from it being about teenagers.

Comparison
To comparise these 2 title sequences shows how we have advanced with music, filming and editing. Now possible to add many layers, different backgrounds, different ways to show something or someone ie. as a cut out. This makes it possible for all to know how we have moved forward in the industry and shows how with the new technology possibility's are endless.

Filming Day One

On Saturday 15th January 2011, we went filming at Oxleas Woods/Shooters Hill. We got a establishing shot of the location of the film. We also shot our running scene of the main character and the spy. We encountered a few problems within shooting after going back on it which included the time amount on the running scene what needs to be extended and the fact that my jeans have split from a slip whilst on the last running scene which now means we need to reshoot the running scene as a case of change of clothing. We are now looking at a new date to film the whole lot again and the dad and son scene, the new date is to be discussed with the group but it the estimated would be Saturday 22nd January but it is depending on availability of time and weather.
