Changes made to our title sequence plan

Today we decided to make some changes towards our title sequence as we came across some problems. We decided that there was not enough shot angles used in our plan (story board) as the shots we planned to film mainly were extreme close ups and long shots. The shots did not vary at all so we have decided to remove certain shots and add in different ones so there is a larger range of shots used.

The shots we have decided to remove are the extreme close ups that show the titles on the letter as the camera pans down the page. We decided to do this because we came to the conclusion that they would not fit in well with what previously occurred in the title sequence, this is because the titles are not the main focus of the sequence to begin with then all of a sudden they do become the main focus so it may confuse the people watching as to why the titles shown closely on the page are maybe more important than the others that are overlapped with the more narrative part of the title sequence. Also it may come across to the people watching that the man in the title sequence is reading the titles when it is meant to be him reading a letter, but because no actual writing of a letter is shown it will look like he is holding a blank piece of paper.

So now we have decided that the audience is going to see the women in the title sequence writing out sentences and they are going to be able to see exactly what the letter says at certain parts of the man reading it. We have decided to do this because it will help people understand more what is going on and what the letter roughly is about. The words written will also help the audience see the love side to the film alongside the time travelling side shown with the clock overlapped over certain shots.
