Assignment title IG1 – FILM OPENING TITLE SEQUENCE PRODUCTION
The purpose of this assignment is to:
LO1: Understand the features of single camera production
LO2: Be able to plan a single camera production
LO3: Be able to apply single camera techniques in a production
Scenario
Film production is a collaborative team effort. Successful film productions rely on team work and
working within specific roles. You are to commence the pre-production, production and post-production
phases of your film opening title sequence. You will prepare the relevant pre-production materials and
use this pre-production documentation to produce your film opening title sequence.
Prior to filming you must ensure that you thoroughly understand your job role and the responsibilities
that accompany your role. To ensure the smooth running of the production process, it is essential that
you do not encroach on the job roles of others in your team. Remember, good communication and team
work skills are essential and every member of your production team is expected to equally
contribute to the production of your film opening title sequence production.
Film production is rarely a smooth process and inevitably you will encounter difficulties. The challenge
for you as film producers is ensuring that your production does not come to a halt due to unforeseen
production difficulties. For this assignment you will need to provide evidence of how you manage and
deal with production (and any problems that may arise) in the form of a production photo diary.
Once the production process is complete you and your team will use post-production techniques to edit
your film opening title sequence. In many ways, post-production is the most important part of any media
production. It is the final stage of the production process that allows you to creatively shape and mould
your production into an intended vision. For this assignment you must produce individual edits of your
film opening title sequence. This will help you to provide evidence of knowledge and application of
video post-production techniques.
