Institutional Credits Opening Sequence

What did you find out?

I found out that there aren't a lot of sounds in the opening just the theme tune of the film. there were lots of close ups not revealing a lot of information just little details that may have relevance to the film later but at the moment we won't know what they mean or represent. The credits and titles continue throughout the whole opening sequence, over the top of the actual film- the text wasn't integrated within the film to draw the viewers attention to the text whilst still being able to view the scene.

Definition for any jobs I didn't know?

Director of Photography -  Used to designate a chief over the camera and lighting crews working on a film, responsible for achieving artistic and technical decisions related to the image. The term cinematographer has been a point of contention for some time now; some professionals insist that it only applies when the director of photography and camera operator are the same person, although this is far from being uniformly the case.

What will i Have in Mine?

I will most probably use the same technique as in this film when it comes to overlaying the text over the actual scene. This is because I want to be recognized for my work and if the text is integrated in the film people may not take notice unless i make it extremely deliberate.
