Research On the BBFC

The Role of the BBFC on Prezi

Research in Film Openings

I have chosen the opening sequence for Fresh Meat and Misfits. The reason for this is that I hope to pull off something similar to their title sequences as the words aren't physically there but they are corresponding to the image behind them. I hope to animate my text so that it isn't boring and just overlapping the image behind it. It would be much better to animate the text making it lively and catching the audience's attention.

Here is one example:

FRESH MEAT Titles from MOMOCO Film Titles on Vimeo.

Notice how the text is intarracting with the image, for example the TV is showing an actors name while the radio appears to be tuning in to a station but again it's an actors name as though it where a station. This inspires me to make my own titles a bit like this following specifc colour schemes and such.

Unfortunantly I cannot get the Misfits opening sequence as it has been copyrighted on youtube and I can't find it anywhere else.

However in the sequence the text again are used in harmony with the image behind them for example an actor is running and as he runs past the titles appear behind him. The titles themselves are in a grimey font as thought they have being spray painted again this works with the context of the show.

Research On Distribution Companys

Dreamworks was established in 1994 by Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen. It is currently owned by Reliance ADA Group and is worth around 1.4 billion. Dreamworks mainly produces films rather than distributing them, and their genre of films are usually animated children's films.
Their top grossing film of all time is Transformers: Dark of the moon coming in at $1.12 billion worldwide.


20th Century Fox was founded in 1935 by William Fox. It is owned by the fox news corporation. It both produces and distributes films and is worth $5.8 billion, it also distributes T.V. shows such as the Simpsons, futurama, family guy, etc. Their top grossing film was Avatar which made $2.78 billion. The great thing about 20th Century Fox is that they make different types of films but all in all they make sci-fi, action, adventure, thriller films.


Working Title was founded in 1983 by Tim Bevan and Sarah Radclyffe. It is owned by Universal Studios. It mainly produces films.


Universal Studios was founded in 1912. It is owned by NBC Universal. This company distributes films. Their top grossing film was E.T. it made $359.1 million. The films they usually do are high cost films with special effects in them.

Title Sequence Work Sheet

This is a work sheet I did for school work. In the work sheet I had to identify the different techniqual, verbal, sybolical and enigma codes in the title sequence of several films. This is what I had in the end Title Sequence Work Sheet

Introduction to the Brief

Today we were introduced to our main coursework task. I am excited to get started on the coursework. We have being told to create a title and film opening for a fiction film, that lasts two minutes. I am looking forward to doing this task as I feel it will be a fun experience. Some of the work already has inspired me and so I think this will be an enjoyable task.
