Our product both upholds conventions of film sequences and challenges/ subverts audience expectation.
1. in the first shot, one can see how our film doesn’t conform to the regularities of title sequences. You would expect to see it on full screen, yet we decided to use only a section with shot filmed on a camera phone, which is unusual by today’s standards compared with Hollywood films, which would be shot on a high resolution camera.
2. Introducing yet another screen breaks conventions completely. It asks the audience to take in two different pieces of action at the same time. This is unusual as title sequences are mostly simple credits and a gentle introduction to the film.
3. Adding 2 more screens asks the audience to take in too much at a time in any detail, so the audience points out the parts which are important to them. This means that the audience start to care about the characters. We chose Film Four as our production company. All title sequences have the Production Company in the titles.
4. The actual titles in the sequence conform to the regular order, introducing our main actor first, but we decided to keep the title font simple in so as not to overwhelm the audience.
5. Continuing with split screens- usually the action would concentrate on one full screen, but continuing on several screens means that the audience doesn’t lose concentration and keeps engaged with the different characters. It also lets the audience focus completely on the action without being distracted by the titles. And gives the audience a chance to realise its one coherent moment filmed from different angles.
6. Audience are introduced to the director of photography
7. this screen shocks the audiences, and the tension that is built in the period before the shooters are introduced is released. When the screen is introduced it changes the action so suddenly the audience will be horrified at the realism of the events. This further subverts the normalities of title sequences. Usually it gives you some warning to what’s going to happen, but in our film, the audience is dropped straight into the action.
8. The end of the title sequence both conforms and subverts audience expectations. Though it shocks the audience with its brutal realism and unexpected horror, it brings an end to the title sequence when the two girls are shot at the end, and leaves the audience wanting more, and leaves questions to be answered. the fact that the dead bodies are left on their own screen after they die leaves the audience disgusted and horrified by the realism, yet encourages uncomfortable voyeurism.
9. The last part of the sequence conforms to the tradition of cinema today, by showing the title of the film in the last shot. It leaves the audience asking questions and builds tension and drama regarding the film to come.
