In this lesson I created a timeline which showed the titles for an opening film. The reason I did this was because when it comes to our group making our film we need to start thinking about the titles as they are very important in an opening! I chose the opening of my sisters keeper because it's a popular tragic drama which is helpful because it's the genre I'm doing.

By doing this task I have started to realise how important the titles are in the opening, this opening is only 2 minutes yet it has 15 titles! I noticed that the title came up very early in this opening as well. When we come to making our film opening we will defiantly need to add in all the titles because they are very important as that's what makes the opening and gives the people who put so much effort into the film credit for their hard work.
