Title Sequences

To investigate what makes an effective title sequence, we watched the opening to the thriller films The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and Se7en. Throughout the title sequence there are a series of connotations which link to events which take place during the films. To explore we made timelines for the opening titles of the film and took note of what sort of information was included about the production of the film and at what time it occured.

Psycho Codes and Conventions

Preliminary Task

This is our Preliminary Task which includes shot reverse shot and match on action.
We edited our video on Adobe Premiere Pro.
We used a series of techniques such as match on action to show the character walking through the door. Likewise, we applied the 180 degree rule in our task meaning the camera would follow the character when walking to the chair, but wouldn't turn more that 180 degrees. A range of mid shots were used to show the character's body language as well as shot reverse shot to show different sides to the conversation.
