Presentation on creative ideas - Rebecca's Lesson 10 and 11

Thinking Creatively: planning ideas for your film opening

Analysing title sequences - An example of how you could / should be analysing title sequences for blog tasks 13 and 16

For blog tasks 13 and 16, you have been asked to analyse the following:

blog task 13: analyse the macro, micro and titling conventions in a title sequence from a genre of your choice

blog task 16 - create an annotated Camtasia film or director's commentary of the use of sound in a title sequence of your choice

Below is an example of how these posts could (and preferably should) be presented. Aim to achieve a similar visual analysis using Camtasia (on all of our Macs) and importing your selected title sequence onto the Camtasia timeline. From there, you can select the annotation call out buttons and start dragging your annotated analysis on to the time line to synch with the title sequence as it plays.

Come to workshop or ask your teacher or our brilliant technicians to show you how.

Thinking Creatively - Sound Design

Listen to the different sound effects below. Pick 2 different sounds at random and then think of:

1. how they could be used in a title sequence (to set what kind of tone, atmosphere or meaning)?
2. what genre they could be used to identify?

Sound Design - The difference between Foley and Sound Effects

Confused about the difference between Foley Sounds and Sound Effects? Watch the video below, which offers some explanation about Foley and Sound effects and how both can be made by the sound designer.
