Your Brief is to make the opening to a new film, including the title sequence. The opening should be 2 minutes in length.
We have certain expectations for you while you complete this project:

  •         we expect 100% commitment to the project
  •         we expect you to care for all of the equipment we entrust to you
  •         we expect you to be able to work all of the equipment, from cameras to editing programmes like Final Cut Pro
  •        we expect you to produce a film opening that LOOKS LIKE A FILM OPENING and not something else
  •        we expect you to achieve your potential
  •   we expect you to reflect on the skills you are learning as this will help you in the A2 year
In return we will allow you access to some of the best equipment available to students of media studies.  We will help you understand the requirements of the project and we will share our expertise in film making, and knowledge of the editing programmes.
