I was told i would have to do another item of research as Lemony Snicket was not an independent film. Still, it gave me good research and i found a good title designer out of it, Jamie Caliri. I thought i would now do a Shane Meadows movie, as they were the best examples of independent movies in my opinion. I decided to do the independent movie 'A room for Romeo Brass' by Shane Meadows, as it fits the brief of 3 having a young protagonist, but it has two instead. The list of titles in order are:
Alliance atlantis and BBC films present
In association with the arts council of england
A company pictures/ big arty production
A shane meadows film
Introducing Andrew Shim, Ben Marshall, Paddy considine
A room for Romeo Brass
With Frank Harper, Julia Ford, James Higgins, Vicky Mclure, Ladene Hall and Bob Hoskins
Costume designer Robin Fraser Paye
Editor Paul Tothill
Production designer Crispian Sallis
Director of Photography Ashley Rowe
Story editor Robin Slovo
Line producer Ronaldo Vasconcellos
Screenpla by Paul Fraser and Shane Meadows
Executive producers Andras Hamori and David M. Thompson
Produced by George Faber and Charles Pattinson
Directed by Shane Meadows
The total number of titles is 17, which is almost the same as Napoleon Dymanite's number of titles, which was 19. We get one very long tracking shot at the start, which is 1 minute 20 seconds long. the total number of shots is 35, which is fairly similar to Napoleon Dynamite's shots, toalling 20. However the duration of this opening is longer than Napoleon Dynamites, it is 6 minutes 13 seconds long so you would expect there to be more shots. The music is similar, it is just one song playing throughout in the background, while the titles and the opening scene shows. A room for Romeo Brass is different in terms of the way it is shown, it is actual shots of the film and then goes to a plain black background with the white opening titles. It constantly switches between two, contrasting to Napoleon Dynamite's opening sequence, which is just the titles written on food and there are no shots of the film during this.
