Research into other film’s time continuity


After summarising the data I recorded from the Romantic Comedy film “Mean Girls” I analysed the timing they used in their opening sequence. I used the data I recorded to select the specific time codes for our opening sequence of film “The Meeting”. The titles presented from the example shown include the majority of the main cast and crew and then later other actors on screen and off screen names are superimposed over visual. After 4 minutes and 55 seconds the opening sequence technically comes to and due to the film title appearing and the remainder of the movie continuing. This was difficult for us to apply to our film due to the opening sequence having to only be a specific 2 minutes long. Knowing this we will allow the main two actors as well as the production company name to be named in the opening sequence, this will unfortunately excluded the other characters and after recognising this factor we came to the conclusion that are less significant and would appear in the credits as is conventional.
