Research for Preliminary Task

As part of our research on title sequences, me and my group visited 'The art of the title sequence' website and we found most of the music videos interesting as it was very upbeat and fast paced, similar elements we'd like to add to our action thriller.

We have also seen videos from previous student's coursework to see what work they have produced and to know what kind of level of work we should be working on. You can find these videos by searching "AS media coursework" I suggest looking at  the video above which has a good chase seen. It is a basic but nicely edited title sequence that gives us an idea on what we should be working on. This sequences doesn't need a lot of money but requires some travelling as the chase seen is quite long.

While doing the research one of the group members came across a title sequence that the felt inspired them due to its use of fairly simple shots in creating an overall impressive visual. The title sequence was from the movie 'A Kiss from Tokyo' and though it was animated the style could be easily applied to a feature film title sequence.

Lastly, an action scene from Kidulthood motivated us, as we were enlightened by the use of camera shots  and UK urban music used effectively to create atmospheric tension. Similarly, me and my group can use UK urban music to set the mood and create tension for the audience in our title sequence.
