Our brief was to create an opening title sequence of a narrative of any genre and narrative. The sequence had to be between one and half minutes to five minutes long and contain at least ten different shots and use micro features of cinematography, sound, editing and mise en scene in our sequence. We were allowed to work in groups no more than four- I worked with Hannah. The blogs were used to document and develop our progress in making the title sequence.
Hannah and I discussed the title to our sequence extensively ranging from 'Foul Play' to 'Acidic Encounter' until we finally decided on 'Incursion' - which means an invasion or attack, usually a sudden or brief one. This title sums up our narrative of an unidentified man- later revealed to be a police officer- partaking in a series of acid attacks.
The sequence presents the first murder of a female police sergeant- the sequence acts a prologue to our film. The antagonist in the film follows her as she goes about in her everyday life. To create the feeling of him following her, we filmed this section of the sequence using a POV shot. The sequence also contains footage of her unidentified killer adding pictures of the female sergeant to his 'den' where he collects and presents pictures of previous acid attacks and various images of women. In addition, footage of the killer in a science lab burning a image of his latest victim and collecting bottles of acid is shown. The sequence alternates from these scenes using cross cuts.
The sub genre of our crime film is mystery which we conveyed as we kept the identity of the killer a mystery to the audience.
