For a majority of crime shows (particularly the ones about selling drugs) they seem to always be in some type of city. Ive chosen to follow this theme. I can show these

Roads -

I feel that roads are a good asset in title sequences, mostly because they have a lot of motion. This can be used for transitions or just be used as a backdrop.

Jay-Z - U don't know - I chose this song because .

• This song has a lot of cues to allow for rhythmic editing

• Appeals to an older audience that may have listened to him around the time he became popular ( early 2000s )

• The lyrics link to the type of content people would be wanting to see out o the show

  
  

This can be for transitions, one idea I had in particular was to do a match cut from something with the same dimensions to another.

Here are examples I am considering :

• A coin transitioning into a sewer hole

• A Pill transitioning into a skyscraper

• a brick of cocaine into a prison building

  
  

Rhythmic editing -

The notes of music can dictate how the sequence flows.

Green screen -

The internet offers a lot of : Transitions, effects etc that can be used in the sequence.

For this sequence I decided I would to go for the black and white look. This is due to multiple factors :

• For one I feel that this look is adds more of a serious tone

• It brings all colours together ( If the sky was blue in one scene and orange in another , the audience would not be able to tell the difference . This adds consistency as well as creating a smoother visual.)

• It will allow me to experiment with inverting colours.

• I want to have the characters names appear in front of a colour that represents their role in the show ( for example - red = murderer )

This interchangeable as I haven't decided wether or not I use After effects.

Pexels - Allows me to use a lot of stock videos ( I would like to do the filming myself however it is hard to get hold of the things I'm showcasing )

Youtube - More stock footage
