Inspiration
There are multiple pieces of work that I have looked at for guidance in order to get a good insight of what my group should be doing in order to get a successful video (title sequence) and blog.
One piece of work that inspired me would be 'Rhapsody of the moth'. This was made by A level students who had the same task as myself, and got full marks (A).
As you can see in the clip, the video shows a consistency in both good usage of props and camera angles which helps the clip stay relevant towards the genre which it is supposed to be based on (thriller). The settings/ locations as well as the filters used are also very good for creating a thriller vibe in their footage. In this, you can see that it has a form of mystery (who is that girl? What has happened?) But the footage hasn't revealed the entire story line. This makes the viewer want to watch the series/ movie in order to find out what is going on for themselves. I'm going to keep all of these points that I have noticed about this opening sequence in mind when I go to shoot my footage.
Another point to note in this opening sequence would be a good usage of actors. this is because so many different people were shown which makes you get a brief understanding of who is involved as well as what they do (their titles) which can be shown by what they are wearing (are they rich, poor, smart, scruffy). A final point which can be taken from this is the way in which they cover certain peoples faces in order to show how they are in the dark about something or they are a possible suspect! this is a very effective usage of lighting and will be something I may possibly use in my opening sequence.

Another good example of a solid opening sequence would be 'true detective'. This is a T.V drama mini series which use imagery which relates to crime, scandals and mystery to give an effective opening for a thriller. There are images such as a cross for example which could relate to how their is mystery to do with religion which will later be discovered by the detectives or police later on in the series.
