Storyboard (Rugile Oraite)
To be fair, this is a very rough storyboard. This is because this is the most basic explanation of our shots. A lot of the "in-between" shots will most likely be decided in the moment once we can visually see what appears good on the camera and with the lighting set up. However, I will keep updating the story board if and when we make changes and additions.
Genre of our Film (Rugile Oraite)
Genre/Sub-genre of Film
KEN PARK
Ken park is a youth drama film that we have been majorly inspired by. This whole film is sectioned off and about the lives of main 3/4 characters who somehow are also involved with each other. The thing that we really like about this opening sequence is that at the very end, something critically important happens that gives the rest of the film a motivation. That is exactly what we want our opening credits to do, except ours might be a bit more subtle.
SUBMARINE
Submarine is another youth drama film that we have taken inspiration from. What really stood out for us in this opening sequence is how shots of surrounding areas are used to create a specific atmosphere and mood for this film. This is what we want to do.

Genre Conventions within Youth Drama
Genre conventions
I have noticed even though the character age of the main characters are generally around a late teen to early adult the fonts somewhat contradict that, as they are seen here as crudely written childish handwriting. This emphasises the still childlike characters, despite the themes of the film.
In some genres like horror and thriller the opening sequences focus on the main characters obsession/addiction. Through the research I have conducted into youth drama I have found usually the main character is at the centre of the sequence although we are simply following him/her through there daily activities. Or also the length of the title sequence is used as a large metaphor about one of the main characters.

Influential ideas
INFLUENCES

I really liked the use of sound in this film. It was very effective as they used very jazzy like music to represent an innocent boy's life alone in new york city. Although it doesn't go as planned and the movie slowly changes its mood from happy to mysterious. The sound they started using became more fast and and a little bit spooky once we are introduced to the robbers.This made the film seem interesting throughout.

The storytelling was really enjoyable and very effective. We get introduced to the family by seeing them on the screen physically instead of reading their names on the title sequences. I think this is creative and different therefore makes it stand out.

The colour in the film AVATAR wore used really brightly. The film expresses many different colours/neon lights which makes the viewer more amazed and eye forced into the film. I really like how the designer made the light blue skin colour on the characters making them stand out , as well as using unrealistic characters but making them look real in the movie makes it so much more interesting and enjoyable to watch.
