Final Storyboard

After reviewing our other storyboard we realised that we hadn't taken into account the length of the shots and also the transitions form one shot to another. This is when we sat down and discussed as a group the shot lengths and the transitions.
To start of with, we cut up our storyboard and stuck it into the wall. By doing this is enabled for me to see how important getting the storyboarding stage right can be, and how it can impact on the rest of our opening title sequence. Our first shot was going to be our production company name followed by a fade out. By fading out here it allows for the audience to now that there is a scene change and also that the title sequence is about to start. When looking at our storyboard we realised that to grab the audiences attention we needed a close up of Big Ben instead of a mid shot. This would then be followed by a black out which would then lead into the mid shot of Big Ben. After each establishing shot there is a black out to establish the change in location/view.  For example we started off with a close up of one of the pods on the London Eye. This then followed by a black out to a mid shot, black out and then a long shot. This is going to be extremely quick with only 2 seconds per shot. This will allow for this to happen so that we have enough time for the rest of the content.
At the end of our title sequence we were restricting ourselves in our titles. Originally we decided to use the music of Mission Impossible. However this meant that our titles could only be 20 seconds. This needs to be rethought about. The ending of our title sequence were the credits are displayed is going to be an image of a blueprint being drawn onto the screen, with the writing appearing over the top of it. This idea has come about from watching previous films.

Below is the image of our final storyboard:

From reviewing the storyboard it has helped me to release how many possible other ways there was of making or opening title sequence effective. Furthermore it has also helped me to realise how important it is to be able to visualise the storyboard and what the end product will be like at this stage of the process. By standing back and laying the storyboard out as above it has made it easier to see the changes that we needed to make and the outcome that this has made. Now that we have created this storyboard we need to go back to our target audience and interview them about this storyboard. One of the questions we should ask them is can they actually visualise our storyboard. If they cannot and this is the case throughout our target audience then we should go back to the storyboard and rethink what can we do to make our target audience be able to visualise our storyboard. Secondly we could also ask them about what they think could be added in or improved upon. This will enabled us to get an understanding of what our target audience thinks about the storyboard.
