Evaluation 1:

Question 1: The title of the film, font, style, effects
How the characters are introduced:
Camera Work and Editing:

The title of the film is Undercover because the main actress and focal point of the story she is acting undercover from killing her best-friends boyfriend.


I looked upon the website Da.Font to see which font fits the style and theme of my film.




As we decided to write the title of the film in lipstick onto a mirror, I then had to try and match up this same handwriting font from an existing font; to make the title sequence flow correctly.


The style and effects were thought of by using props that are used throughout the main story of the film, such as rolled out bandages in the title sequence which was reused in the main part of the opening story to show that she was trying to change her identity so none suspected she was a woman. Also, in the beginning part of the title sequence, you are able to get an idea that Connie the main actress may have mental problems by the way in which she is positioned, her appearance and her straight jacket costume.


I decided to add an effect over the title sequence to make it more interesting and intriguing for the audience. I applied this by adding final cut, by dragging and dropping the effect over the top of section I wanted.

I was then able change the settings of the effect to make it my own and I added a different or close up image in the middle of a bigger title to make it jump to create the jump of a thriller. I decided to keep the rest of the opening sequence without being jumpy for it to be able to flow and for the audience being able to follow the story. I added the same effect I used on the jumping title sequence over the mirror to make it look as if it had just been smashed.





The characters are introduced starting off with Connie as she is the focal point of the story and moves the story on.


Camera work and editing. The camera work was filmed by using stills for the title sequence. For the title when writing the lipstick on the mirror, I recorded this as Connie was writing slowly. In the editing I then sped this up by using the editing on final cut to make it snappy and powerful to start off the section of the opening sequence.
