My flash title sequence

Our last assignment for the class electronic imaging and design this semester is to create a title sequence flash for a royalty free movie.

I chosed “Un chien Andalou”, a silence movie made in France in 1929 and having sound put-in in around ~1960.

Very interesting movie, you should have a look at it when you got time because only 17 min-length ^^

This is a Black and white movie thus I decided to construct my flash in black and white and make it look like an old time movie.

EXPLAINING THE STEPS

My steps of doing Assignment 3 – Title sequence flash:

· Watch and choose the movie Un Chien Andalou.

· Research about the movie and make the list of information that will be put in the flash.

· Take note of significant parts in the movie and draw the storyboard

In the movie, people most remember 2 scenes:

1. The scene of an eye being cut as a metaphor massage of the film-makers to the viewers: this movie should be watched with different eyes.

2. The scene of ants running outside of a black hole in the man character’s hand. The French phrase “ants in the palms”, (which means that someone is “itching” to kill) is shown literally through this.

Influenced from these scenes, I have decided to design the outlook of the flash with elements such as eyes, ants and the hand. Because this is the title sequence for an old movie, I want to make it look as old as the movie and as simple as how the old-timed title sequences are like.

· Find suitable music

From the website Freeplaymusic.com, I have found “The toymaker’s dream” piece of music, which is very suitable with the mood of the movie – dream-like sequences.

· Work with photoshop to illustrate graphics

· Construct the flash

I decided to make a black and white flash because this movie is B&W one.

I used 3 types of fonts in the flash :

Bookman Old Style

CommercialScript BT

Dutch801 XBd BT

When introducing the title of the movie, I wanted it to appear the same in their poster (http://www.imdb.com/media/rm594777856/tt0020530) but I can not find the exact font thus I have used a resemble typeface.
