The book I chose to base my title sequence on in A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. I just this book due to my original knowl-edge and understanding on the narrative: thus giving me the benefit of creating a title sequence that reflected on the narrative accurately.

Before starting the title sequence I did thor-ough extensive research on the narrative by reading the book, searching up information on the characters involved, looking at the moral of the narrative and even going to the theatre to see the narrative in live-action. I then compared what I saw at the theatre with the movie of the book and began to come up with ideas for the title sequence.

As I created my storyboard, I considered the aspects of design regarding balance, depth,

colour schemes, lighting and other ele-ments. I ensured to make the title sequence target a young audience of 12-21+ and in-volved elements of gamepaly to target those with a taste and knowledge of Final Fantasy game play. By integrating this, I created a piece of work that is different and unique from the A Christmas Carol movie.

In order to create the title sequence, I used Photoshop CS6 to create flat images, 3DS MAX to create 3D type images (materials in the background specifically) and After Effects for the Animation. Using these programms allowed me to get a better knowlede of the potential in the programs and the duration of creating animation and creating specific things.

If I had the oppotunity to improve my work,

I would improve the materials such as the window to make it look more realistic. I would also change the characters into 3D and animate them with the materials (i.e. Scrooge wakign up out of bed). I’d also make the animation longer and extend the duration of various scenes such as when the characters are speaking.
