My media class had a trip to the British Film Institute in Central London which was a seminar about our coursework. The seminar began with Pete (a former media studies teacher at Cambridge University) showing us a few opening sequences from www.artofthetitle.com. The opening sequences we watched were Napoleon Dynamite (2004) and Catch Me If You Can (2002).- Catch Me If You Can was an example of an animated opening sequence that was maybe too difficult and complex for us to do as our coursework but it was a good example to show how professionals would do it in the industry.
- Napoleon Dynamite was an example of a more simple opening sequence that Pete suggested was a good idea for an opening sequence. It was filmed over a table where the names of all the producers, actors, etc. were written on everyday objects.
On the trip, we also learnt a lot of valuable tips as Pete also showed us some opening sequences other students filmed at A-level. This showed us that we shouldn't show too much action in the opening sequence as other students had done.
