Filming, Editing, Final Piece and Evaluation (Drama)

For this title sequence I wanted to strip down and figure out what the film is really about. The film, for me, is about the coming of age of the protagonist and revolves around his knowledge and what he can learn. The film's essential prop is the chalkboard. I think this title sequence, although basic, links the audience with the turning point of the film - when the protagonist writes on the chalkboard. To improve this I think I could have less movement of the chalkboard and perhaps better equipment for terms of filming, for example the camera quality and the height of the tripod. To improve I would also add a soundtrack that fits a drama genre in addition to more diegetic sounds of typical school life, such as scraping chairs across floors, writing on the chalkboard and bells. Again, with this piece my main issue was timing, to fit in all the credits within 30 seconds, I think that had the title sequence been atleast a minute I wouldn't have struggled as much. I could also set this sequence within a classroom, and watching students leave the room and then pan closer to the chalkboard. I would also perhaps try a stop motion as I don't like the hands within the sequence. I could also try and use different colours of chalk depending on the credit.
