Evaluation Part 8: Looking Back At Your Preliminary Task, What Do You Feel You Have Learnt In The Progression From It To The Full Product?

Evaluation Part 8: Looking Back At Your Preliminary Task, What Do You Feel You Have Learnt In The Progression From It To The Full Product?

Looking back, there are many lessons that I have learnt that will improve my work. I believe the title sequence Hannah and I created has been successful as we established what we wanted to convey in our sequence to our audience. We used the GoPro for the first time and found it be semi successful.

Before we established our narrative for the title sequence, Hannah and I individually researched into various title sequences to gain an idea of the typical conventions and codes that are in different genres. This helped us decide what genre we wanted our title sequence to be and we then proceeded to establish our narrative. Overall, this process enabled us to gain more of an understanding on making a title sequence and also enabled us to understand our genre further.

The production process enabled Hannah and I to experiment with the GoPro to which we had used before. We successfully found the props we wanted which were easily gained. The filming process was quite difficult as we found it challenging to obtain the right angles we envisioned for our sequence. Eventually we were able to gain the right footage needed. In addition, if we were able to develop our sequence more, I would also incorporate more footage of the female character to convey her age and appearance more. This process helped me learn that planning and preparation before filming begins is key as I felt we wasted a lot of time due to poor planning.

We received feedback after we exhibited our sequence to our class. The majority enjoyed our sequence but there was confusion in parts of the narrative which we cleared up in the second draft of our sequence. This process has given me knowledge in the importance of the exhibition process- this is because without feedback, our title sequence would have been confusing for an audience. The feedback given helped us improve our sequence and enabled us to adjust the issues risen in order for our title sequence to succeed. 


Overall, the incorporation of different technologies and our production was semi successful in my opinion as we stuck to the majority of our planning and storyboard for our title sequence. Our research gave us inspiration that also helped us achieve a conventional title sequence that fit our genre of crime mystery. In addition, our research was also successful as we managed to create a title sequence that was heavily influenced by the opinions of other from the narrative, editing choices and the typography used in the sequence.
