Sheldon the TV series


Sheldon the TV Series

For this project we had to research different opening sequences for different TV series looking at a specific genre. The genre that I choose to research was the crime or thriller drama. It represents the modern connotations of the old fashioned cop shows. What I decided to do was to base my own opening on that type of show so I decided that a good example that was simplified and achievable was the model set forth by the TV series of Lewis.  The main aspect of this that I tried to use was the idea of the screen blacking out to show the credits or titles of a film. I also had thought that it would be good to have the main character portrayed in a way that was iconic to this very complex character that is called Sheldon which is his last name. I feel that the project went rather well I think that I worked quite well within the time constraints and I think that I met all the deadlines. I think that as I progress in my studies and learn more and more I will be able to make the different projects more complicated but I think that because a project rarely sticks in the strict guidelines of a storyboard then this animatic that I have created encapsulates the main aspects that would be used in the opening sequence. Also the purpose would be to show the allure and complexity of the character and therefore the show which is why having the character in several different locations added to this. Also the use of the missing posters would give away more clues to the audience that the show is about a detective who finds missing people with the most obscure clues. Altogether though as I have said I am pleased with the project and think that the story board gives the right amount of information as well as attempting to draw an audience in.

  1. You've done a decent job here, Esther - some reasonable planning and a good animatic. You've also had a go at justifying your ideas reasonably well, although I would hope that you would go in a little more detail in the future. I would also like to see a little more detail with your research - try to produce more detailed analysis. You've managed to complete the project reasonably well - well done.
