- Title sequence starts of with the demon girl in her bedroom which is filmed as a birds eye view shot.
- Low key lighting used in the demon girl's bedroom
- Halo/Classical music sed to create empathy for demon.
- Flashback in an outside location of two dead parents filmed as a high angle shot.
-Quick cut; close up of demon, loud music used to convey error.
- Voice over used to explain demon's death.
-Mask&Make-up used for demon's appearance.

Also for the demon we wanted to conceal the face by making the hood hang over the face a little like this:

So there is some mystery on what it looks like.

Preliminary Task


We shot three different scenes in our preliminary task and then seperated them in editing to create the full sequence. The first shot of the first group member walking in then looking over in shock was split to create a match on action sequence with, the second scene was of the second group member crying and the third was the conversation between the two.

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.
