The Rocky Horror Picture Show,

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is the 1975 film adaptation of the British rock musical stageplay, The Rocky Horror Show, written by Richard O'Brien. The film is a parody of B-movie, science fiction and horror films of the late 1940s through early 1970s. Director Jim Sharman collaborated on the screenplay with O'Brien, who wrote both the book and lyrics for the stage. The film introduces Tim Curry and features Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick along with cast members from the original Kings Road production presented at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in 1973.

Here is the 9 frame grid of the film's title sequence:

 

 

This sequence is four minutes thirty eight seconds log- (4:38)

The opening sequence to The Rocky Horror Picture Show is dark with red writing; this foreshadows the red lips later on in the same sequence.

You can find the opening of this on Youtube (www.youtube.com) also its posted on my blog (http://1mightymedia.blogspot.co.uk/).

 

 

Whilst watching the video I created a timeline to note down what titles appear, e.g. Cast, Director, Producer, (etc) and in what order they appear. I also added the times they appear, e.g. how long there is between each title scene. This task allowed to me to understand title sequences and how much work actually goes into making a short clip. For example I sat and wrote my timeline plan&timeline is just short of 1:30 minutes, and the actual opening is only 4:38 seconds long. Here is a photo of my timeline I created:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And thats all, all the homework for Ms Bird, on the blog.

The next piece will be done next week.
