Wow sorry this post is so late! Really should have done this earlier haha :D
Anyways, this terms project is to create a title sequence based on one of the five briefs we were given. This is a group project, and we decided to choose the brief which needed to us to select a radio show, imagine it's being created for film or television, and make a title sequence for it. In the end we chose the 1968 BBC Radio adaption of The Hobbit, as we came up with a great idea as to what to do.
We had to pitch our ideas to Richard Morrison, who if you're unware of him, has worked on many title sequences including those for Sweeney Todd and Enemy at the Gates. Seemed like a great guy and gave us some really great feedback. We took a lot from our presentation to him.
So basically, our idea is to find a wooded/forest location and film footage as if we are a hobbit, so keeping the camera at a low height and just explore the woods and walk around the trees and scamper around the foilage. The title sequence is going to be as if your looking through the eyes of a hobbit (first person) as we want to show the audience what the world is like and how much bigger it seems to a hobbit. There will be some sort of narrative, but I don't want to reveal that just yet :) Let's just say it's going to have a bit of journey from one thing to another, and we're going to use the camera to set the mood and feelings of the hobbit. We're set to film sometime this week, and then next week in post production we're going to edit together the footage and play around with it, adding effects and the credits. We'll most likely colour grade it as well, to give it more of a fantasy look. We have the music sorted, and it pretty much the typical style you find in fantasy films, so it goes really well!
Anyways, many apologies for such a long awaited post! Will update as much as possible on how we're progressing :)
