These are the Titles for the movie Revenge of the Bridesmaids 2010

The fonts are in pink and bold. All the titles were in titles. The were all about the same size, except "&","AND", jobs of the people in that movie, as they were smaller. For example: "PRODUCER BETSY DANBURY"

Submarine (2010)

 The fist title we get from the movie Submarine is "Film4 and the UK Film Council presents" This title differs from the movie Revenge as it gets the image. It has a blue background and in white bold letter. The title appears and cuts into a different shot in 2 sec.

 This is the image if the next scene. This scene shows the bedroom of the central protagonist. With a camera panning to the left.

After 3 sec the shot changes to titles again with the next words"" The font is the same as before. Here they have used "In association with" to introduce the next precentor.

The shot then cuts to the similar but with different words scene.

The next scene appears after with camera panning to the right, showing the whole bedroom. As the camera reaches towards the window it gets cut once again. Non-diegetic/diegetic sound as it has birds and waves but it may also be coming from outside(we cannot see those two actions but we can assume where they are coming from)

 The next scene appears with again "In association with"

 After it cuts to this scene where they introduce the production company.
They make huge gaps between the letters but when it comes to the word "PRODUCTION" the letters are closer to each other.

Then the scene changes back to the bedroom with the central protagonist sitting next to the window. At this point the non-diegetic sound comes back in with the voice over from the boy.








Then it cuts to the establishing shot of the town. It shows a few establishing shots before showing the next title.
While the shots are being shown the non-diegetic sound of instrumental music is being played.






The final title was the title of the movie which was different from the all the other titles which were portrayed earlier on. This title is in white, bold and split into three syllables. The back ground is different as well. This one has a view of the sea and the sun set.

Wild Child (2008)

 The fist title with appears is the Universal Pictures Present as you can see the word presents is write-in small font however, still in capitals.

 The previous scene then fades away as the new blue background appears. This layering was used to show our central protagonist sleeping.
The new title then comes up with "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" in small and "STUDIOCANAL" in large. This title was placed in the middle once again to make it well noticeable.

 As the camera zooms in thought the glass of the window, we get the central protagonist with the titles in the middle showing the " A WORKING TITLE PRODUCTION"

The title of the movie was finally introduces with different font, size and placement. The title is gold and purple and the word wild has studs, this was made to make an accent on that word.

On this scene you could see how our protagonist is leaving her bedroom as she is trying to put on her bathrobe with has a stereotype of being wealthy. As she puts it on she walks into the title making it seem after as it being hit.

Film Opening- Re plan of idea tbc

After looking at all the footage we have done, we understood that the footage was shaky, there weren't any shot varieties and the sound was a bit off. After all we decided that we would need to reshoot all those scenes. Also we need to change the whole story line as it was too long and we had too much of a dialogue going on, so we decided to cut it down to minimum.
We have also changed the actors as they were not able to do the times we were planning to shoot.

The opening starts with the non diegetic + diegetic sound of the mean girl (Veronica) waking up and getting ready at the same time shooting the geeky girl who is the central protagonist. There we wanted to create some binary opposites between them two. During this opening we want to show our audience the state of equilibrium and disruption from the Todorov's 5 part Narrative Formula.
While the two protagonists will be getting ready we will add in the titles.
One example of this is by filming the mean girl writing the titles in her "Burn Book" taken from the Mean Girls Movie.
Second one is to film how the geeky girl is putting her books into her bag and we will have the second title written in the book as like an author.
Thirdly we could film how the geeky girl is leaving her house or entering the school and she leaves the foot print with the third title name.
Bellow are some images from the movie Napoleon Dynamite 2004.

After doing the waking up and getting ready scenes we will film the mean girl walking into school thought the doors meeting her two other  friends and walking towards the corridors. We will have a long shot from a low angle to establish the setting and show the character in a full body shot. A low angle shot will tell the audience who is the dominant in school. While the man girls walk into the school we will have students passing by in the corridor. To show the audience that Veronica is the one who has the power we will have her pushing into the locker the geeky girl.
