Week 2 - Production Commenced.

It is week 2 and i have started work on the opening title sequence. I have decided to use a retro 8-bit technique to create the title sequence. As the film was released in 1985 i thought it would be appropriate for me to create the title sequence in a 8-bit form. This is the style of the older generation games looked like and i felt that applying it to this project would be a creative and interesting idea, as it incorporates the gaming style of the 1980's and also the retro style of the film. This was a creative decision i came up with earlier on in the planning process. I chose this instead of creating something very complex, like in previous projects. As Melvyn said "simpler the better". This way i no i won't go off track and create something completely different from the brief.

I hope to capture stills of the characters from a HD source i have on my home computer and digitise them to make them look like there from a 8-bit games console, as it would add a nostalgic effect to the title sequence.

Here is an example i captured from the HD source i have. Converting the image into an 8-bit style photo will be difficult i think.
