I have finally made my opening to run for a suitable length of time. Since the start, I have added music, titles, and have edited out unnecessary shots. I chose BBC as my production company, as I have researched their movies that they have produced, and had come to the decision that they would be the film company that would most appropriately for my film. During my free time, I have went into a routine, that whenever I watch a movie, I seem to focus more on the film titles. I have taken into account the order the film titles appear in, and have realized that the film titles appear in different order. I picked my order for my titles, after watching the opening of 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo'. I did watch other opening sequences as well on Art Of The Title, mainly focusing on the length of the titles, ad well as the music. But taking all these factors into account, I feel that I have been able to contribute my research into my opening sequence, and feel that my interpretation matches up to a proper film title. I have just listened to all my music, to make sure I have chosen the right track, out of the three that I had created. The other two didn't quite fit with my theme, and felt more suited for an action, or detective sequence, and so I had to create the track I am now using, later after those two tracks, and I feel that the music now fits perfectly, due to the tonal change which has been carried throughout, and fits to the different scenes within my sequence. One of my biggest fears about the music, was when I added it, to not make my film sequence into a music video look-a-like, which I have fortunately failed to do.  I was alright in having pedestrians in my shots, to create a sense of realism in my titles. One of my favorite titles is when my actor is on the swing, and the music changes, and then it says 'music by', which  puts emphasis on that specific title and the music sequence. The effects I have used are 'dip to' and 'additive dissolve', which helps to make the sequence seem longer, as well as make the edits between the cuts seem more effective. Before I had 'starring' in front of the titles of the names, but I thought it looked better without that title, so I got rid off it.
