it's getting really cold now and the darkness is started to get seriously hardcore :L kinda sad but it's nearly christmas (end my birthday! the 23rd)
Anyway, I learnt about title sequences in class. I watched the Kung Fu Panda title sequence and wrote about each transition of sound.
In general, the music is very Asian orientated e.g. use of the pentatonic scale and sequences. Asian non-diegetic music starts to signify the genre of film. Also, a gong is played when the Dreamworks logo appears and sound effects are used to accentuate the fight scene between the Po and the bar animals. Also, folly is used when Po swallows and when a bull bangs his fist onto the table.
Most importantly, a voiceover is layered on top of all this to narrate the story.
My scanner is not working because for some reason it does not like my Open World sound diagram so I will just have to write a written response.
For our film, we are planning to use a fast tempo for one of the tracks at the start with a relatively low volume. We are going to use two tracks and layer them to create a clash when a flash comes up which would only last for half a second. In the middle of our opening, we will layer a few voices over each other which they would read the same narration: one person says about the scientists' theory then that would fade into religion's theory then into what everyone else thinks. Then this would end with all of them saying 'Who is to blame?' Then the same track that is used at the beginning will then be used when the title says 'Open World.'
