This is a detailed timeline of the title sequence for the thriller Deadwood. It includes when different titles are shown, how the music changes and what is happening in the background whilst these titles are being shown.

These are two timelines Harry and I have done for research on two other film title sequences. I did 300 and Harry did Fury.

Order of the titles:

• Writer – Jack Hughman
• Producer – Jason Powers
• Distributed – Working Title
• A Garry Rice film
• Actor – Adam Guille
• Actor – William Jackson
• Main Title
• Actor – Natasha Yunan
• Actor – Olivia Le Friec
• Editor – Darren Sarre
• Sound Design – Georgia Stockings
• Costume Design – Jeffrey Jonson
• Composer – Kevin McLoud
• Music Supervisor – Gregory Male
• Casting Director – Jack Jackson
• Production Manager – Lin Howe
• Visual Effects Supervisor – Silvia Silingo
• Director of photography – Talia al Ghul
• Makeup – James Harrison
• Director – Aidan O’Rourke
• Co-Director – Harry Grice

This order of titles are important to my thriller as it gives me the idea of how I want them to be put into my thriller. It’s might not be the exact order of my titles however I know what titles i’m going to be putting into the opening sequence. Titles are important to a film as they can give the audience an idea of what the film will be like.

This is my first proper Draft for my thriller. It includes for refined edits so there is a story that is noticeable and not just a narrative.

This is some feedback I have received for my thriller.

Good points:

• Uses great mise-en-scene
• Has a good continuity
• Good match on action
• Doesn’t brake 180 degree rule

Bad points:

• The boat scene needs to be shorter
• There is an obvious relationship between the characters
• Some shots are slightly too long
• There needs to be a transition at the end

When re-editing my thriller I will take these points into account and edit accordingly. For instance I will make the boat scene shorter and add a fade to the ending.

These are a few images from editing fully my thriller, they will include edits I used a lot of.

Cutting: Throughout the editing I needed to cut out a lot of useless film or parts that would not make sense. To cut I just dragged the video into the left box and cut it down to what parts I wanted.

Removing Audio: As there is no dialogue in the thriller I had to remove the audio tracks which will be replaced with music later. To remove the audio I rick clicked on the audio track, clicked delete audio then chose which track I didn’t want and pressed ok.

These editing techniques will help me out a lot when adding all the high tech edits.

This is the shot list for the second day of shooting my thriller. There aren’t a lot of changes, these are things we just needs to re-record.
