As practice for filming our own OTS, we had a task to re-create the opening titles from a film. We chose to do 'The Dark Knight' and here I have posted it below.
The Original Titles:
Our Re-Creation:
Evaluation:
When deciding on what opening titles to re-create we thought that The Dark Knight would be the most simple thriller opening titles to make our own version of. However, when it came to filming and editing this, we found it a lot more challenging.
The editing done in this OTS was created by mainly special effects and so we were unable to re-create this. We also found filming difficult as we could not get the transition between credits right, as the camera jumps quickly between the different shots of the cards burning, our set up was also difficult to mimic this because the lighting in the sequence is dimmed, whereas we used natural light outside so the shots appeared lighter than we intended.
We should have also re-filmed certain shots where background distractions that shouldn't be there are in one of the shots - we will bear this in mind when framing shots for our own opening title sequence so that continuity is achieved.
When it comes to creating our own opening title sequence, we will ensure that we do not choose to create any shots or edits that would be too difficult to actually carry out. I think it will be better to do simple shots and edits to a very high standard, than to do more complex shots at a lower standard.
