Pictures of final cut

Opening to a Childrens Film

Current progress lessons 3-4

We have now finished our footage and made a sound track on garageband. We faced the problem of getting the right genre for the children feel.

Jack's Moodboard

Credits

I think the credits should be fresh and colourful relating to the theme of the car chase maybe made out of the exhaust fumes or the credits fly past like a racing car. The credits should also slow and clear but be eye catching keeping the young audience interested where in most films the younger audience switches off doring the credits.

Credits

As our opening sequence to a children's film is mostly a car chase, i think that the credits should be blatent (big and bold) and colourful. I believe this will have more impact on the viewer, and it also goes with the theme of the chase. When the credits come onscreen, they should fly from the right to the left of the picture, then stay in the centre of the frame for 3 seconds (for each name), before leaving the frame. I think we should have a plain black background and an exciting font, which stands out and grabs the viewers attention. We could also use some sound effects to create more impact. For example, each time somebody's name flys on screen, we could use a 'bang-like' sound with lots of bass, grabbing the viewers attention.

The Credits (Saul)

The credits need to show all of the actors names and who they played(voiceovered). The writing should be interesting and colourful, bubbly red or blue writing. This will stand out to the kids and just keep the mood happy, as a younger audience isn't really going to want to read it, and any parents will read it if they want. The credits should pass by fairly fast so they do not bore the younger audience. I think we should have a bit of animation with our credits like, a car zooming past etc.

Credits by Jack

The credits should include all our names and the characters names and who portrayed each character (voiceovers). The credits should be at a slow pace so children can read it, but not too slow to take up valuable time as we have to keep within 2 minutes. The font needs to be big and clear, and in a style that looks fun which keeps with the theme of our film. The font also needs to be colourful and clear. The structure of the credits should be the title of our film and then the characters/actors names.
