This is a very effective opening sequence to use, as it is surprisingly easy to pull off, as the concept under all the shots and editing, its a fairly easy to pull off, as it is mostly a series of different shots, edited together in an order that makes sense.
However, the most important aspect of this kind of title sequence is the shots and the locations. For example, in the opening title of green street, in all the shots, you can make out the main character, even when their is a large group or a crowd of people, the camera is primarily focused on the main character, so you can see him.
Things around the area have also been used to further improve the scene, for example, when the main character of green street is waiting for his bag, although he isnt completely in shot, a sign has an arrow pointing to his position, so there is alot you can do with this type of opening, as its simple, easy to do and yet still works really well.
We plan to film first in bristol (in order) airport first, than temple meads station, then yatton station, gets into a taxi (or vehicle), dropped off in Portishead, than walking to a house (my house), in which he enters, and the film will end there. We realise that Bristol airport may be difficult to film at, so we will ask permission before we film.
We still have some planning to do, and need to establish the main character and his motives for traveling, but these wont take long to decide on, and once we get these details done we can begin to storyboard and shoot the film. We are also yet to finalise the genre of the film, as travel isnt a genre, so we need to develop the genre first, then we can move on to character development.
The main genre we are considering for the film is crime drama, much like green street, and it also give us more of a plot to go off of, as the character could be escaping a life of crime or trying to leave a gang. its a perfect genre for this kind of opening, and will go perfectly with what we are trying to achieve.
