Titles

We were struggling throughout the whole edit trying to think of a title for the piece but one suggestion was The Set Up and another which came from this was The Upset, we decided to use both and try to incoporate a title sequence which could tell the story of the film ie a set-up which changes into an upset. For this I had an idea of printing three wine labels saying The, Up and Set. Then sticking the labels to bottles and filming a scene in which The bottles are arranged to say The Set Up and then a waiter's hand comes in from the side, pours wine from the Up bottle into a glass and puts it back down only this time between the other two bottles to now read The Up Set.

There are numerous films that use title sequences like this to help quickly get you into the world of the film.

Below are some of the designs I made for the labels. I included a back-up label which just read The Upset so that we could film a simpler version if the action didn't work.

We did actually film this but felt that the sequence didn't work well enough and that the footage was not of the same quality as the rest of the film so in the end we stuck with the name The Set Up
