Research for thriller opening sequence

For our opening title thriller sequence we decided on the idea we were inspired by a previous students work from school. After many discussions we were very inspired by the idea of sport and shooting sequences of different actions performed through them which helped us to come to the conclusion of having our main theme on gymnastics. We were already at an advantage due to Crerar being a GB gymnast which meant that we could be able to produce different shots of tricks done on the equipment. Our main based idea and theme for the sequence was a gymnast having physiological problems enabling her to easily do her performances and affects her mind and therefore body. To help us create ideas we were allowed to research online videos to evaluate different types of camera work used which we can incorporate with our sequence.

Researching for examples and ideas of different shots for the sequence, as a group, we were inspired by the action shots done in the movie "Stick It", which helped us to get a good idea of angles and shots etc:

The scene from the movie involved many shots from birds eye view, close ups, wide shots etc which allowed us to see which angles were more affective when coming to shooting gymnastic routines. I particularly like the shot from a birds eye view angle which looked amazing on screen from the shot of the gym sequence.

One of the shots we are including in our sequence is a slow motion chalk on hands shot,where the gymnast is preparing for her sequence by applying chalk on her hands. As an example we found a shot at the very beginning of the scene from the movie "Stick It" which linked well with what we wanted to add to our opening tile:
