DVD Cover Write Up
We have created a DVD cover for our film and on it we have listed all of the key conventions including the media institutes, the titles, pictured, the certificate, the blurb, magazine reviews on the DVD, the bar code and key actors.
We have made the cover as realistic as possible as well as very bright so that it catches the attention of the viewers so that they are more likely to buy the DVD. All of the pictures that we have used are relevant to our film showing key shots within the film.
We created the DVD cover on a word document and also using paint. We used the colours that we chose because we thought that they were bright and eye catching as well as contrasting which shows the contrast between the two characters.The picture that we chose to put on the front cover of the DVD shows the main male character looking very alone as he is the only one sitting on a large bench as well as there being no one in that background of the picture which is very unusual considering that it is a park. This emphasises the character and makes sure that we know that the character is alone. It also shows of the clothes that he is wearing which helps out viewer to realise that he is of a low social status.

Drawn Story Boards
Above are our original drawn storyboards. However we didn't use all of our shots as there were many shots that we decided after filming them that they were no appropriate and not needed in out opening sequence.

Distributers Logo
Above is our Distributers logo we chose to called it track pictures and thought that this picture was very relevant to it.
Feedback
We showed our rough cut of our opening sequence to varied demographics and got their feedback. Included in this feedback was the following
Sound
We were told that we should put the whistle of a train leaving the station in-between the two pieces of music. We therefore went onto the internet to find the right sound and loaded it onto our film in sync with the time that the train pulls out of the station on our establishing wide shot
Editing
after people viewing our opening sequence we were told that we should make the MSN conversations longer as people were finding it hard to read it in time. To sort this problem we got someone who has never seen our opening sequence before to watch it and tell us when they had read it and we did this process a few times to make sure that the conversations were of the right speed.
We were also told to speed up parts of our production as there were many parts of the filming that were quite slow and didn’t quite fit in with the fast paced music, we therefore decided to fasten up some of our shots e.g. the painting of the nails so as it fitted in with the speed of the music.
Filming
When we showed our rough cut to some of our friends who are within the target audience for out opening sequence they told us that there were a few shots in it that didn't need to be there anymore so our group got together and discussed whether we needed these shots still and came to the conclusion that some of our shots were meaningless and should be taken out.

Bedroom Layout
Above is the layout of the girls bedroom. when we film we are going to add some teddys and some pink things to make the room more like that of a typical teenage girl. There will also be clothes thrown over the end of the bed as a typical teenager would have a slightly messy bedroom. This room however is going to be quite posh to show that she is of a high class.

Research
Cheaper by the dozen 2 :
The title sequence of Cheaper By The Dozen 2 starts with camera showing the floor, the car then pulls up the camera showing the front of the car. Then camera then moves to the side of the car, still at a low level to show someone getting out of the car showing there legs and all the people getting out. In this opening sequence there is a Low level, mid-shot, up-beat music, crane and aerial view along with a variety of other shots.
Chicago:
In the opening secquence of Chicargo there is an extreme zooming close up of an eye, which zooms into the pupil of the eye then zooming out to see the words Chicago, there is also a close up of a mouth, as well as a zoom out of light - panning up and up beat music. other conventions that are in this title sequence are as follows: a low level camera shot of ladies legs in heels with the camera following them, a zoom in on a poster following a character, a close up on everything not showing face the characters face to create a sense of mistery, something thrown over the camera then the scene is changed, lthere is then a low level again, a long shot- low head lights come up and the camera finally reveals who the character is.

Storm breaker:
Storm Breaker begins with a black background and white titles, it uses special effects starting of blurry then slowly comeing into focus, the music has a steady beat. Also included in this title sequence is a pan and a long shot of the whole room from back then from front as soon as someone’s is mentioned/something it shows you it. the transitions in this title sequence consists of alot of straight cuts to different camera which contraficts everthing that he says.
10 things I hate about you:
This title sequence's titles have a chalky animated effect on the writing, the town then comes up and it has the same effect as the writting which makes it look drawn before going into a normal, then pans, upbeat music as it pans it zooms.

50 first dates:
In this title sequence the titles ripple like waves which ties in with the Hawaiian music that is playing. An image slowly moves and focuses on a pineapple then the picture behind it changes but the pineapple still there. This is all revelvant to the Hawaiian theme and sets the scene of the film.
Step up 2:
The titles to Step Up 2 starts with a low level. Then it has a memory and it shows this by saturated colours, the music is also distant like her memory, there is a narrator over the top. All of these conventions make the opening Sequence very momory like.

Edward scissor hands:
very zoomed in/cant work out what it is, door extreme close up and the opens then you go through it, titles white font on black background that flies in then the two words open like scissors, everything’s very zoomed (out of the ordinary) and the writings in odd shapes, low lighting, eerie/sad music, pictures/sequences fade into each other, looks as if its falling then it goes black and odd shapes appear like cookies then light comes back on and shows all the shapes, zooms out on pictures, zooms all the way out until you get an over the shoulder shot so it looks like everything you saw was a point of view shot.
Billy Elliot:
Close up on someone putting a record on a record player. Low level of record player in fore ground and feet jumping in the background (hard to workout what’s happening). Cuts to high level so that all you can see is the top of the boys head every time he jumps up. Wall paper in background blurred. Zooms out slightly to a mid shot and the wall paper comes into focus. Zooms in on different parts of his body when his in the air. Zooms out to long shot.
Sweeney Todd:
Black background slowly mist is coming over it, thick unrealistic rain starts to fall, shows a town and zooms in on a window on which a blood drop has splat. Cuts to a painting and zooms out of it, follows blood drops around onto ornaments and into the machines and everything then sizzling in the oven with pies.

Location
You’ve got mail: This film starts with a computer screen as if the character has just received mail. It then shows you the whole of the town then clicking on a house and zooming in. The town looks very computerised and almost Sim like. in a town in a house the beginning is coming through the window looking round the room and going into the bedroom. It then comes into real life and a normal house is shown. it then zooms in through the window and into the house. You can slightly see the bathroom in the background and there is a packed living room where he is.

She’s the man: It is set on a beach with them playing football. It also pauses on the characters quickly to show who the credits.

Addicted to love: It is set in what looks like a science lab and also in a park. The science lab is hectic and the park is calm and pretty. The man is in the science lab and the woman is in the park with loads of children round them.http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=hEdGsJwq4-s
