We were given the task to create a title sequence to the remake of Groundhog Day. We were told it was starring Hugh Grant, Emma Watson and Russel Brand - an english cast, directed by Richard Kurtis and produced by Working Titles - which Richard Kurtis had previously worked with before.
We were split up into groups and had to come up with an idea to present, then using photoshop to make 3-5 shots from it that we could use to show the class and support our idea. My group had the idea that we would keep the title sequence very stereotypically British - a typical Hugh Grant film. It started with the words A Working Title in fancy writing that looks as if it had been in a handwritten letter. We then had Hugh Grant's character talking directly to the audience over the title sequence. We had a man in a field, content and watching the sun go down and then the audience is snapped back to a messy room where Hugh Grant's character really lives and we begin to see him doing his everyday routine. We wanted the title sequence to be comic but without giving away the storyline too much.
