Storyboards

So far we have the first shot as the title of the film to a black background. The next is an establishing shot of the school (out the front of Long Road.) The next is 4 black and white shots of students walking around the school to simulate CCTV footage. The camera then zooms out of a to screen to show the bad guy, but not his face. He then leaves the room. The next shot is of the 2 main characters (Kirsty and Sam) walking down G Block corridor. They receive a phone call (maybe from Ben.) There is then a shot of them running down a stair case and across the quad outside.

After Watching the following video we have come to the conclusion that this is one of the best Long Road media studies children's film opening.

Pros and Cons:

Pros:
The film has a very good continuity editing the editing is very smooth and slick.
The music used relates to the themes of the film.
The animation is very clean cut and effective to the film.
In the car chase the road and trees make it more realistic
There was always something going on so you don't get bored


Cons:
The background drawing on the first scene (news room) was not very detailed and could have done with a  better drawing or maybe a picture.
opening sequence credits were not suitable for this task they were cold blue and they were at the beginning. The sounds were sometimes crackly and you could also here some background sounds.  At times you could also see human flesh enter the picture.

analysis of Past students Children's film opening sequence

Pros:

• good continuity editing when done.
• costumes suited characters.
• Text readable in main title.

Cons:

• A shot stays in the same place throughout a scene of the main character
• Can't hear audio over background music / diagetic sounds
• Words can't be read on the paper due to lighting issues
• After transformation, the main character isn't shown clearly, but from a distance, so not entirely visible.
• Alternate art style in main titles doesn't have any relevance to what is going on
