Music for news title sequence

As we see many news opening sequences, they usually last for approximately 25-35seconds, in which this meant we needed something short but effective - having that 'news feel' as it starts. We focused on the build up of the strings and synth, which then led to a sharp finish; opening up our news story.

We tried to visualise having the background moving along with the music, so that everything fitted to how we wanted it to be. As examples, we had a listen to the BBC and ITV London news openings. They inspired us to film in central London, as it showed its focus in London and stayed local within the area. We hope to get some footage of the London Eye to add to our title sequence!
