Brief Create a nostalgic and warm title sequence for the comedy, written by and starring David Walliams as a chemistry teacher who falls in love with Catherine Tate’s French teacher.

How it was done The titles are based around a school photo, which serves as a device to introduce the cast.

The titles also highlight performances that help to provide an insight into each character.

The sequence, by creative director Ant James and director Richard Acton, was shot in slow-motion to bring out the subtlety of performance and give the piece a nostalgic feel.

Edited by Maggie Lam using Adobe Premiere Pro, extra children were composited into the sequence by Max Joseph, who used After Effects to create the wide resolve shot that couldn’t be captured on the day.

Watch it Fridays, 9pm, BBC1
