TITLE SEQUENCE OUT THE WAY!
We finally finished the title sequence and we improved it very much.
We changed the ending so that it flows better with the rest of the sequence. As our sequence consists of many fast cutting shots, a slow ending would not match. Therefore, we changed the ending to our news title coming on top of a spinning record which then fades to black. Our slogan fades in letter by letter in italics, 'It's music we feed you...' We got rid of the youtube, Facebook and twitter links at the end because it did not look professional and from looking at our research, no major news channels did not have that.

Final ending for opening sequence
We have now decided that the pan which we used for the ending of the opening is not effective in the way we would like it to be.
This is because the pan has no relevance to music and it is not as clean as we would like.
We therefore came to the conclusion that we would rather film a more significant location or we would choose another way of ending.

We therefore came to the conclusion that we would rather film a more significant location or we would choose another way of ending.
I therefore returned back to the record idea and this time went on Youtube to get a spinning record. When I found one that would work I embedding it to our sequence.

Script Draft

Voiceover
Reporter: 1. "Over the years the internet has played a major role with how music is distributed worldwide. 2. CD sales have gone down by 20% over the 5 last years 3. while digital download figures continue to rise. 4. Many popular UK artists such as Ed Sheeran and Adele have been victims of file sharing 5. and the number of illegal downloads keeps increasing. Although popular artists such as these aren't majorly affected, some record labels say illegal downloads are killing the music industry and UK artists that are trying to establish themselves really feel the heat."

Sound bridge to interview
A.Star: I can understand that if people can get their music for free then they won't pay for it, I mean when I was a teenager, I used to do it too but thats ok for the big artists. But for people like me, upcoming artists, it is hard if no-one's paying for your music and your spending money to make it. Until your in the position where people are not paying for your music you realise the effects it has on the artist. To be honest most of the big artists make most of their money from touring and appearances so musical sales aren't a big deal to them but for people like me who still have to make a name for ourselves, it does affect a lot. No ones to blame, it just happens and you have to live with it. Any job has its side effects, this is mine.
Voiceover: Worldwide the UK is second behind USA for having the most illegal downloads. Since 2006, album sales have declined from just over 600 million to just over 400 million.* In the first six months of 2013, there have been over 43 million illegal downloads*, this equates to £500 million lost in revenue.* A study showed that 28% of people illegally download music, 34% said they do so occasionally whereas 39% said they never download music illegally.*
Record Label Manager: We work hard to make music that people want to listen to. It takes time and money to produce music and due to the increase in illegal downloads, our profit margin is decreasing. The internet has given consumers a platform where they can access the music for free and it is ridiculous that it's so easy nowadays to just type in a particular artist or song and download albums on albums. There should be some regulation or monitoring of such websites because at the end of the day we are losing out.
Voice over with filler shots complementing interview
Thousands of people are losing jobs, due to the increase in illegal downloads.
Voice over to summarise story
Music piracy is an ongoing issue that has been problem for many years. A high percentage of people claim to download music occasionally if not frequently and the number will only rise unless stricter policies are put in place. Moral ideologies don't seem to play a major role in this battle against file sharing, although it's wrong, people still persist to exploit this flaw in the world of music with no regard to the effect it has on artists such as A.Star. Illegal downloads are on the rise, will it become a trend or will it be stopped, only the future can tell.

Changing the ending of the opening sequence
We have been looking at different ways to adjust the ending of the opening sequence as what we have at the moment does not flow to well with the rest of the sequence.
We have therefore been thinking of different ways we can end the sequence to flow much better. We need our logo to appear on something that is still relatively moving fast like the rest of our footage.
We tired:
1) A record
2) A pan
