OLD AS OPENING SEQUENCE SAMPLES FROM YOUTUBE

*keep in mind these are from various years and do not necessarily meet the requirements of your task, it is just to give you some ideas…

1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzekwWEW0eo&feature=related but too long

2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUvWbXWwj5k&feature=related interesting titles

3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlzRJb8dfOU&feature=related somewhat interesting idea but choppy, vague and poorly edited

4. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=920g2-0Prj8&feature=related interesting idea, very poor editing, sounds, good range of shots, inconsistent titles

5. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbQIfpJjwGo&feature=related very good range of shots and match on action, very poor sound and no titles

6. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6P0j5ivhFhU&feature=related good range of shots and titles, special effects with sound co-ordination, NOT 2 minutes

7. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPXaysjZbkA&NR=1 superb sound and special effects and graphics, NOT 2 minutes

8. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyyVCLbAxtM&feature=related flows well, nice titles opening, shot with candles, music is excellent, NOT 2 mins, flow problem – jumps around a little, at times short film rather than opening sequence,

9. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1xx2oZy-Nk&feature=related excellent music and framing of shots, excellent use of titles and range of shots, develops suspense VERY well

A clear and strong level 4 with effectiveness in all categories on mark scheme:

11. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aD4ooFNC5yQ&feature=related clear and focused level 4, range of shots, co-ordination of special effects with sound, music develops suspense, simple yet very effective

Other cool videos:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXQZOxFwK8E  cool stop animation titles

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tODtjmGzo7k&feature=related not related task, but good shots/framing, film noir elements,

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BU7tajj6Ms&feature=related interesting approach to titles with the paper (stop animation) rest of it is rubbish!

Good luck!
