Research Task 3 - Favourite previous student work.

My favourite work from previous students is group 22's title sequence from 2015-2016. Group 22's sequence was very dramatic with its large use of slow fades to cut between the different shots of the two guys running, in the fades is the placement of the the titles which fits really well with the pace and gives the audience a chance to read and take in the titles. The audio of the sequence is police sirens and heavy breathing which screams danger to the audience and that something awful is about to happen to the boy that is being chased. The boy falls towards the end in an alley with very low lighting where we get different shots of the chaser slowly making his way towards him with low angles making the audience seem weak along with the character who is being chased so they are really put in his perspective so they can feel what he feels, it fades to black and gun shots ring out leaving mystery and curiosity in the audience whilst keeping them very engaged for the rest of the movie therefore making it almost a perfect title sequence. One issue I had with the title sequence is that during the running it gets to a point where it almost feels like it drags but is quickly rectified with the change of scene in the later alleyway.
