Experimenting with Flash, Premier and Logic Composition

At first, my storyboard for the Orange is the New Black title sequence was quite long and, though I felt had a bundle of exciting ideas and ways I could interact images with writing, was a bit more complex than it should be for the time I had to make it. So I simplified it down to a series of images showing the characters, mentioned in the original title sequence, walk across a mugshot background, holding a board with their names and prison bars coming across with the main titles of the production company and the show title.

I decided to design the characters with no eyes to keep quite simplistic look which also made them appear quite cut off from the viewer which I think was necessary due to the fact the television series is about a women's prison. I also looked up the height of the actresses and applied that to how tall I was making them against the mug shot background.

Me and Qandeel met up and worked on our sequences together. I used flash for each character's mug shot position to hint to the attitude and personality of the characters in the way that they were standing and walking in and out of the scene, I used photoshop for their still moments where their mug shot photo is being taken.

I then created the bars coming across a blank white background, along with the production company and title of the show. When I put the different sequences together, Qandeel helped me add a zooming in effect to the character's names, on premier. All in all, I feel like this was the best project where I really got down to working at a planned out schedule and met my aims on time. As well as the way I managed my time, I also felt quite happy in the way me and my partner advised each other on ideas and technical help.

I then used music from one of my songs that I created a while ago in my spare time and put it as the background music for the video.

I feel as if we could have worked a bit more together in this project though. Perhaps by creating half and half of the sequences, thus giving us a challenge to try and adapt our different styles round each other's work.
