In this lesson I learnt how to do storyboarding and also to get an idea of what a opening sequence to a film is like and to get ideas for what the opening sequence of the children’s film opening I will be making.
Firstly we watched the opening sequence of ‘Back to the Future’ and how the film first captivates and tells the audience clues about the rest of the film. In the opening sequence to ‘Back to the Future’ it first had a title sequence so the audience know the title of the film and also gives the audience clues to what the film will be like. After the title there is panning and tracking camera movements round a set that has lots of clocks this connotes the theme of time and time travel in the film. The opening sequences is also suppose to be captivating the audience so they stay interested to watch further and start to ask questions like ‘What are all the clocks for?’ and hopefully wait for the answer later on in the film.
Next I had to start storyboarding the opening sequence I had just watched, this was to get some practise of storyboarding and how to do it. Then as a class we looked at everyone else storyboard to get ideas on how are own storyboard could be improved for when it is time to storyboard our own opening sequences. A storyboard is pictures of the camera shot types and notes about sound, camera movements and what the actors will be doing in the film.
