 I Then started to create my title sequence on final cut express. I started adding my titles over the images.

I choose imagine entertainment and BBC film is because they have worked on similar films as to what i am producing such as billy elliot. I have included the actors and costume and choreographer i will actually be using. I have chosen people who have worked on many similar films before to appear in my titles to show i have researched similar films and researched people.

After researching similar films i have chosen my titles to go in a certain order. After looking at similar films i noticed a pattern in the order of titles. due to this i have placed my titles in the order i think they should go. I first wanted to introduce the production company and who presents to introduce the audience to who is representing this film. I then introduced the actors as the actors are seen on the screen. At the music started and the dancing is seen i included the choreographer and who the music was by as i felt it was was convenient and would work well like that. To finish my title sequence i had 'written by' and 'directed by' as it is very professional.
