Title Sequence - A leaf from Heaven by Hans Christian Andersen

Storyboard Assignment 6:

The story i chose for the opening movie Title is 'A Leaf from Heaven' by Hans Christian Andersen.

Below is a sequence of frames and what order each clip will be put in. 

The reason i chose this order is because i want to keep the introduction as brief as possible. I believe that for a story like this an audience may appreciate the full length of the story and particularly what will follow up after the title.

The theme I chose for the Title sequence relates to the story.  I used green and the different shades of it to keep the style looking as organic as possible which is why it relates so well to the story. In the frames are off vines growing through the clip as if its eventually going to cover the screen.

Frame 1. 

The transition to the next frame is very simple, the text from the first frame will fade but the vines will continue to grow and sprout out leaves as the Movie title fades in with leaves growing on it also. I think with this idea i was able to capture an essence of life and its beauty in the moment.

Frame 2.

The third transition to the third frame was a lot more elaborated. In this frame you will notice more depth than the previous frames, through add lighter shades and shrinking the vines creating an effect. There are 3 layers of depth in this frame. The audiences view zooms out of the previous frame and through more vines before stopping in front of 1 large vine with the text "A story by Hans Christian Andersen" sliding up the vine as if its growing with it. I want the audience to experience life as it unfolds before them.

Frame 3.

The 4th and 5th frame show leaves falling around the focus of the frame, the text. Again i have used the different shades of green to create depth and to give sense of calm and prosperousness. The transitioning will fade out of the previous scene and fade into the 4th frame following the text.

Frame 4.

Frame 5 it continues but with new text.

Frame 5.

In the 6th frame i have the audience focusing on a single object in the frame. I want the audience to appreciate  the scene where a single plant different from any other to grow and to becoming more beautiful than rest.

Frame 6.

There is no transition in the last scene as the plan is still in position but has evolved. Through the introduction of the movie i want the audience to have a short glimpse of what the story is about but not quiet grasp the entire story as it will also have some surprising elements. 

Frame 7.
