Angus, Thongs and perfect snogging


Titles and title fonts: The titles are written in a curly styled writing a lot like fancy handwriting. It looks quite girly and young. This relates to the theme of the movie as in the opening the main character is shown as being quite young and impressionable and this relates to the opening credits. Later on in the movie she matures. The name of the film sounds like a list. It could list the things the main character feels is important to the movie or her life at the time.



Set: the setting for this film portrays quite vibrant colours and is quite clean. This gives an idealistic view of a British community and her life. In the opening we see the main character running around the city/town to let the audience get a feel for where she lives and to spot any landmarks which appear later in the film which may be important. The scenes are shot at a variety of angles to show the different points of interest of this town and to contrast with what the main character is doing as in the scene she is trying to run away from it all and we question why she would want to run away from somewhere which looks as nice as this.



Costume: the main character is dressed in an "Olive" suit. This tells us that she is more concerned about having fun than about practicality or consequences. The costume also tells us that she might feel a bit self conscious as all the other characters in the scene at the costume party are wearing quite sexy costumes whilst she might see herself, or want the audience to see her, as being unable to "pull this off" and so she comes in a big bulky costume to hide herself. The costume is quite vibrant and colourful, this makes her stand out which maybe what she wants during the film.



Music: The music playing in the background is "She's so Lovely" by Scouting for Girls. This is ironic as to how she feels about herself at the moment, as she has just run away from a costume party as she feels she looks idiotic. The song could also relate to how others see her as she could feel like a fool but others see her beauty.



Character: The main character is a girl called Georgia who is going through a difficult time where she is finding love and also growing up. The audience might want to know why in the opening she is so willing to make a fool of herself in front of everyone but then backs out of it when her friends do not approve, as she could be seen at the beginning as a free spirit who does not care what others think of her so you wonder if she is portraying a different personality to her real self. She also in the opening is shown to have quite a determined attitude as when talking to her father she tells him that he is not needed when in the end she ends up needing him for consoling as she is upset. The way she is shown visually is that she has little concern as how others see her as she is shown wearing a non flattering costume.



Genre: We can tell that this is a romantic comedy as we are told from the start that she has an interest in boys as the main thing which makes her run away from the party is a friend saying a line about boys don't like girls who makes fools of themselves. She also is shown as being in a comedy as she runs through her home town dressed as a stuffed olive which will make people laugh. Some clues to the genre are that the main character is a young female common of rom coms, and that the opening scene shows us how her life is like at the beginning of the film instead of starting off a story line as we want to know about the character that we are going to see in a romantic comedy rather than seeing the consequences of actions.



Story: The story line of this film can be seen at the beginning as the main character trying to get accepted by her peers in High School. We do not know about any love interests at this point so cannot speculate that is what the film will revolve around but do understand that she has a strong interest in boys and so may see a love interest occuring. The title also gives the impression that the film will revolve around love as she says that it is to do with perfect snogging. The title is also quite comical in diversifying our idea of the movie as it tells us about someone called Angus who we perceive to be a boy love interest but which turns out in reality to be her cat.




Bridget Jones Diary

Titles and Title fonts: The titles are white and written in a curly font that looks like a girls handwriting. This represents the film as a diary and being written as the film progresses. The main title however is in a bold long font, which is like the opening page of a book, which entices and audience to carry on watching and to "read" this diary.


Set: the setting is an apartment which is quite messy and small. This tells the audience that Bridget lives on her own and therefore doesn't need to tidy up. This will relate to a lot of females who live on their own who will watch the film as they know how it is to live in these situation and the different ways of coping with having no one else in the flat to answer to. This relates to the theme of Rom-Com's as the main character is usually a single female who finds love over the course of the film, but to start off they have to be in some dilemma which in this case is loneliness. You can tell that she is the sole occupant as the sofa shown is small and she has no pictures of anyone but her on her mantelpiece.


Costume: the main character Bridget is wearing a long pair of pajamas. The fact that she is wearing long flannel pyjamas gives the impression that she does not feel sexy and which is why she is alone. She doesn't appear to be going anywhere over the course of the opening. This tells the audience that she has no purpose in life at the moment. The film will show her becoming important. This makes everything that will happen later in the film seem even more fulfilling because she gets a purpose. The audience sees her as vulnerable at the beginning and then sees her blossom.



Characters: we are introduced to the title character of Bridget who is sitting alone in her apartment singing to herself. This shows how low her life is at the moment. She is an anti heroine as she is not the dashingly beautiful woman who we see in romance films. This automatically tells us that this is not a romance but a Rom-Com which is out of the norm love. This allows the audience to ask how she is going to fall in love and how this is portrayed as a romantic comedy. The fact that she is over exaggeratedly singing to the song in the background makes the audience see her as a light hearted character who although is somewhat depressed can still have fun in her own company. We also have to ask why she is so unhappy with her own life. You get some clues earlier in the film but still ask this and what she is going to do to improve her life over the course of the film.



Props: The answering machine used in this opening portrays how lonely Bridget is. A cut away shot of it is used saying that she has no messages. By using the answer machine showing that no one has tried to contact her reveals that she is lonely in her life. The audience will wonder why this was shown, as we can understand that she was lonely to start with but will empathise how lonely she really is. One reason why they show this cut away is because they want to show that she is trying to overcome her loneliness as she has a way of keeping contact with people although unused. Another reason is to show a partial moment of loneliness and so might not be portrayed throughout the whole film as although she has no messages it shows that people will try to contact her later or have done earlier in her life.



Story: Our basic grasp of the story line is that this is a character who is out of love and is trying to turn her life around. The movie being called Bridget Jones Diary is that although she feels lonely at this point she also feels that her life if important as she needs to have a record of it on paper. This gives us mixed messages about the story line as it could be about her finding importance or it could be about her finding love as although the story line is about her finding both the audience will question which one it is at the beginning of the film.



Genre: The genre of the film is a romantic comedy. We can tell from the opening that this is not just a romance as she acts overly exaggerated and comically to let us know that there are elements of humour in the film. Another clue that shows this is a romantic comedy is that no love interest is shown straight away and so the quest for love is not straight forward as in a romance but is subjectable to be changed for humorous effect.



Music: The song playing in the background is "All by Myself" by Celine Dion. This makes the opening make more sense of her lonlieness as Bridget sings along with the lines "all by myself, don't want to be all by myself" showing she is lonely but does not want to be. It also gives us a clear understanding of what the movie will be about as she will try to find love over the course of the film. It also answers quite a lot of questions as it clearly gives a description of Bridgets life at the moment that the song is playing, it leaves the audience not having to question the situation.

Conventions of chosen Genre.

Some of the things that make a film a romantic comedy are:





  • Boy meets Girl


The main points of a Rom-Com is the concept of finding love in a way that makes the audience feel like anything is possible in the world. This means creating unlikely couples and having them successfully fall in love. Another way of doing this is making a pair of friends re find themselves as lovers. The audience wants to see a love that works, or one that doesn't but ends on a happy note.





  • Awkward moments


To make the film funny the lead character will get in some very problematic situations, like falling over or showing underwear. This makes the audience feel happy and makes the film comical. Sometimes the film will relate to real life experiences the audience has come across. This makes the moment more funny as you can see it though another's eyes.







  • Fairytale-like



The classic concept of fairy tales are used in Rom-Com's. The boy will save the girl (or the other way round), they will come up against a villain who wants to tear them apart and they live happily. The simplistic story with odd twists and turns makes the audience engage with the characters shown as we instantly relate, due to the stories being imprinted in our subconscious.








  • Bad jokes


Without jokes of any kind in the film, it would be a romance and not a Rom-Com. The jokes are usually bad puns or slapstick. These are used as they are funny to a wide audience and can let more people understand the jokes which can then cover cultural boundaries within the slapstick routine.





  • Innuendos


Another common type of joke used are Innuendos and jokes with sexual meanings. These are added in because the audience of a common Rom-Com are adults and will understand the humour involved. This also allows a younger audience to watch and enjoy the film without being subjected to any rude/bad humour.





  • BFF fall outs


To make the main character encounter some troubles the named "best friend" will fall out due to some reason or other and will become friends again at the end of the movie to create the happy ending. Using this as a way of creating problems is quite effective in rom com situations which does not allow for any inappropriate actions to cause dilemmas for the lead character i.e. a bomb going off.

Conventions of an opening sequence

A title sequence needs to include:


The title of the film:





This has to give a clear understanding of what the audience is to expect the film to be. The font and colour needs to relate to the chosen themes and ideas of the film. Curly writing usually shows an element of romance, while block bold writing will show a thriller or an adventure movie.







An introduction to characters:





The opening titles need to show some sense of who is going to be leading the story and making it flow. Usually the main characters are shown or mentioned quite early on. This lets the audience know who they should be looking out for and who they should take notice of in the movie. Dependent upon the genre depends on how the characters will be introduced either half way through something they will continue doing in the film i.e. spy films or action films or will show them doing every day activities for example a rom com.







An introduction to a story:






The story needs to engage the audience from the beginning and to let them know the genre and purpose of the film and to create an air of understanding for the viewer of what they are going to be seeing later on in the film. It also needs to create a clear understanding of what is going to happen later on i.e. a murder mystery would start off introducing characters whilst an adventure would show them finding treasure etc, or shooting and explosions for a war film.

Double Indeminty



Titles and Title font: The title font is very bold and stands out against the Shadow of the man limping behind the titles. This could emphasise that the film is all about the legal term of double indemnity and so this is something you need to constantly remember. This also adds to the tension as this tells us a horrible death will occur for this act to take place


Setting: Set in the middle of a busy American city. This brings the action to life as the things happening on screen could be happening in real life and around where the audience live. Also there is a typical American skyscraper where the main character works, which could mimic absolutely any skyscraper in America, making the action more intense as this could be happening to someone somewhere in real life.


Character: We see a man driving through the city quite recklessly and ask ourselves why he is so determined to get where he is going so fast. The man we see is shown in shadows and which seems strange because he is the main character yet we hardly see his face. The audience is intrigued and wants to find out who this man is, also the fact that he had been shot makes us want to know why he got into this predicament. You get mixed impressions as to if he is trying to get away from somebody or is trying to get quickly to somebody somewhere.


Props: The car we see at the beginning makes the audience understand an urgency for the main character to get to where he is going. We also question why he would be driving at all after we see that he has been shot and why he has gone to his work rather then to a hospital.




Costume: the man is wearing a long coat and a hat which hides his face from us for the majority of the opening, making us question why he is covering himself up so much. Before we find out he has been shot we ask if he is hiding from anyone, but after we ask if he is running away from someone who wants to hurt him.


Genre: We can tell this film is a thriller because it leaves the audience asking questions straight away instead of making us aware of the situation. It throws us in half way through the film and without us not knowing how things have worked out before this moment. Doing this makes us unaware of how the characters came to be in the situation he is in and ponders more questions.

Story: The story is to do with the title, the legal system which gives extra money to relatives of people who die horrible deaths. We do not know what is going to happen but we can expect it to involve the character we see in the opening and this legal system. We ask if he has killed someone to get money or if he has tried to stop someone else doing this.


Brick (Johnson,USA,2005)


Titles and Title Font: the title is a plain white on black design. This tells us nothing of what is to come in the movie. The colours are used to stand out and make a contrast,which could give the impression that something later on in the movie will contrast or will be different. The title does not really raise any questions as it has not enough information to make the audience question it. Visually it is very bland but also stands out by its contrasting colours.

Set: The set is an average suburban American town and high school. This makes the action seem more intriguing as it is happening in a place that could be very similar to where the audience live. Also it shows the theme of a thriller as a lot of successful thrillers take the ordinary and suddenly add the unexpected to create questions and suspense. the starting scene is in a drainage ditch, a dark place out of the way of anyone who would usually go by, making it a perfect place to leave a body. this also sets the film up as the audiance wait for the main charecters to find this place and so for the girl to die.


Characters: We are introduced to a boy and are shown glimpses of a girl who is dead as the film starts. By rewinding to when she was alive we ask questions about her like how she wound up dead. We also question how the pair know each other and why she trusts him so much. The fact that the girl is hardly seen makes her seem mysterious and dangerous as we know nothing about how she looks or what she is like as you only visually see glimpses of part of her body like her arm or her hair, and you do not get the impression of how she is in a personal capacity. Although we see more of the boy we do not know much about him as little information has been fed to us.

Costume: the bright blue plastic bangles the girl wears show that she is still quite young and wants to show off how fashionable she is and how she wants to be having fun. This concept makes her death ironic as she wanted a good time and ended up dying. We as an audience want to know how her death occurred and why she did not know why she was going to die. The boy's costume is ordinary and gives no clues if he is involved in her death.

Story: By viewing this opening sequence we know that the girl ends up dying so the story the audience wants to learn about is how her death is brought about. This makes us ask various questions like "was the boy something to do with her death? What does the title have to do with her death? Does anything happen that could avoid the set ending? We are fed clues such as her conversation with the boy about some mysterious things for example the brick. We do not know what these things are - if they are items or code names for something else and so the audience is given a sense of unease and begin to question what is going on. The conversation had started off being portrayed as something quite sinister as the girl is having trouble speaking about what she needs to tell the boy

Genre: We can tell this is a thriller as it makes us as an audience question what we see on screen. Showing the ending before the film starts is a technique used by thrillers to let the audience know whats going to happen so we don't focus on guessing the ending but on guessing the means and hows.

Wallander (Firewall, MacCormick,2008,UK)

Title and Title font: The font of the title is a very plain text. This is a commonly used concept in thriller genre films as it gives nothing away about what the movie is going to include. The fact that the title is a yellow and black design also shows that danger will occur as these two colours represent death and/or danger i.e bees.

Setting: The setting for this scene is a dark and deserted moor with only a car on it that we can clearly see. This tells the audience nothing about what has happened or will occur here, also the extreme long shot makes things hard to clearly see, so having the audience work it out themselves.

Characters: We are shown three characters in the opening. the two girls are shown walking away from the car where they have left the man dying. The two girls are not talking, building suspense as we don't understand why they did what they did. The positioning also tell us a lot about the two as the girl nearest us is shown larger and thus more important than the one who is further away. This shows her as more dominant and more powerful than the other, which would make the audience surmise that maybe she is the instigator.

Costume: The girl on the left has quite a dark and Gothic costume on, which could be to make us understand her mindset of being someone who enjoys causing pain to others. the fact she has her arms covered with lace makes her seem mysterious as she is covering herself up, to show how she doesn't want to be seen. the directors choose to have her wear this as she needed to be shown as dark so she would be associated with the crime she has committed.

Props: the knife is a very important prop in this scene as it makes the audience ask a lot of questions. "why did they attack the man? Was this premeditated? Who are these girls?" by making us ask questions the film is hooking us into the action and making us want to see more of what is happening, and seeing the whole movie.

Story: from what the opening shows us, the two girls have killed the man and are now escaping. We learn different things about the man by the objects we are shown; a drivers licence which tells his name and a keyring which shows he has a family. This makes us feel intrigued as we want to know why the man was killed . We believe the pair were set on killing this man prior to what we have seen but this raises questions still as we do not know if it was the man who originally was the person with the knife and whether it was his intention to attack the girls.

Genre: We know this is a thriller as we are shown very little, but what we are shown is surprising and strange. We want to see the movie to have our questions answered rather then see blood and gore (like a horror movie) or a romance. Only small clues are given at the beginning which allows the audience to try and piece together the cause of the tragedy whether rightly or wrongly as as the thriller progresses more clues (even red herrings) are then presented for the audience to work out a conclusion.

6th Sense (




Title and Title font: the films title is spaced out quite largely and increase in size as the film progresses. The font is blue on black, a colour scheme that unnerves the audience. As the title gets shown a short screeching sound is played. This unsettles the audience and makes them feel scared.
Characters: We are introduced to a female character who has not yet been named. She looks scared which is strange as we are led to believe the setting is in her house as she is going to get wine from the cellar which we associate with the "host". We wonder why she is so afraid in her own home. As the title of the film is the "6th Sense" the audience is led to believe that she imay be haunted.

Set: The setting is a cellar, which is dark and mysterious. As the light is turned on there are a few seconds delay before it comes on fully, creating atmosphere. The female actress who enters looks scared and afraid, reflecting how the audience is expected to feel.

Costume: the woman is wearing a dress, it is very colourful and really contrasts against the cellar. She is collecting wine however she looks very nervous whilst she is doing it, this is also backed up by when she is leaving the cellar, she starts running, this shows that she is vulnerable.

Shot types: Several different shots are included in the opening. The first one I saw was when the woman ran up the stairs in the cellar. It was as though she was running away from something. When the naked man has entered the house, the woman sees the broken glass on the window sill and floor. The camera zooms up close to give the reaction of her face. This can symbolise that she is scared and creates a tense atmosphere.

Story The beginning of the story really engages the audience into the film. From the start, when the light bulb flickers, it gives an atmospheric feeling and puts us on the edge of our seats. The cellar reminds everyone of loneliness and vulnerability when the woman is alone. There is a shot where she is standing still and a master shot is taken of her and the room. She is shaking because it is so cold and then she runs up the stairs. This gives us a feeling that something is not quite right. Also, they go straight into the characters background telling us what the man does for a living. When the naked man is brought into the scene, it intrigues the viewers and hardly gives us an explanation into why and what Dr. Malcolm had done for the man to be so angry.

Genre: The genre of the film is a thriller. There are several different ways we can recognise the film is a thriller. The title at the begging has an eerie piece of music playing in the background and also the font colour is blue which can also symbolise a thriller film. The opening of the film in the cellar is also the first indication we get of what the genre is. Creepy, eerie and intriguing are only some words that can some up the genre giveaways.

Kiss me Deadly


Title : The titles of this film are set out in an unusual way, by the fact that they appear in the opposite direction to how we as an audience view the titles normally. They are read from the bottom to the top, instead of top to bottom. This un-nerves the audience and sets them up for the suspense the film will bring.

Setting: The overall setting that has been shown to us in the opening scene is a long deserted road. This allows for an air of danger and suspense as anything could be on this road. This danger is something commonly used in thriller films.

Costume: The costume of the female lead is quite irregular as she is only wearing a trench coat and is walking barefoot. This leaves a lot of unanswered questions that the audience will want to know the answers to.

Font: The font used on the titles is quite a big text which dominates the screen. This can be quite worrying for the audience as it stops them from seeing any action on screen that could answer their questions.

Story: The storyline is shown to us after the credits role as we are told the woman is an escaped mental patient and so is a danger to be around. We are confused at the fact the man is so willing to protect her.

Some interesting camera work they used was to attach the camera to the back of the car and direct it at the floor. This makes us as an audience feel we are being taken along with the two actors, and are therefore a part of the mystery.

Genre: The opening suggests a thriller genre as it leaves unanswered questions and problems the audience needs to solve. The fact that there is little gore in the opening makes this a thriller and not a horror.

Characters: There are two characters introduced, however very little is known about either of them. This creates an air of unease as we feel worried for both characters as we do not know who is a good guy and who is a bad guy.

Shot I liked: A particular shot I liked was the shot sequence when the woman is stopping the car. This was very exciting as she was in a danger of being killed and the showed it without either actor being in any danger. I liked this as the film is from 1955 and the way they portrayed the scene is very effective for the time.

Memento – Analysis of the opening sequence

The title of the film comes in just before the images come in. This is like the title of a book, shown before the actual text.

The location of the scene is shown after the murder takes place. This makes it feel strange and dark when we know what is going to happen inside.

The key props in the film are shown by close-ups and extreme close-ups to show how important they are later on.

The actors names appear on screen as blue text on black to create a feeling of unease and to show that the movie is a thriller.
The overall camera work of Memento is a large use of close ups to keep the audience ignorant of anything happening around the shot. This makes us want to know more.
The opening scene is the ending to the story of the film. showing this first gives the audience knowledge of how the people on screen will end up like.
The use of editing was cuts to scenes, to show the speed and intensity in which the opening is occurring (being a scene where a man is killed). Scenes which are meant to show memory are edited to be shown with a white tint. an audience will see the colour change and relate it to memories as this is a common technique used to show scenes set in the past.
The music consists of low pedal notes played on a cello. This creates an eerie atmosphere and unsettles the audience as pedal notes draw out the actions shown on screen for as long as possible, including the scenes of death and string instruments have a natural reverb and pitch that can unsettle people when used solo or with pedal notes.

http://www.watchthetitles.com/articles/0091-Sweeney_Todd_The_Demon_Barber_of_Fleet_Street


This opening title sequence is able to give us a feel of the whole movie, and give away some facts without ruining the whole piece. Although we will not be able to use animation or computer graphics in our opening sequences I feel that the idea of showing objects or places that relate to what's about to come is a good effective way of starting a film and a technique I could use.


http://www.watchthetitles.com/articles/00177-The_Back_up_Plan


The opening for The Back Up Plan tells us the main goals of the protagonist and what the film will consist of (in this case the conceiving of a baby). The main point of this opening is to create a light-hearted atmosphere for the movie as we see policemen sucking dummies and a supposed flasher actually selling baby products. This is relevant to my work as I would like to try to make a Rom Com opening.

Understanding the difference between a trailer and an opening sequence



A trailer will have to include:


0 The best parts of the film
0 Fast paced editing
0 An idea of a story and genre, without spoilers
0 Interests an audience/ makes them want to see the film
0 Show any big named actors
0 A voice over telling us about the film
0 A website for more information (not a necessity)
0 Fast paced or relevant music





-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





An opening scene will need to:
0 Set the mood and scene
0 Introduce the characters or ideas
0 Give us some names of the actors/directors/ crew involved
0 An idea of the plot to follow
0 Establish viewers intrigue
0 Uses titles and font to set a mood





-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I choose the title scene to 'A Series Of Unfortunate Events' as my second example due to its creative nature and use of a re-occurring motive of the eye. This motive relates to the movie and plays an important role in the film, so making it present in the opening is a good idea.

What we used

In our continuity task we included the use of match on action, eye line match, the 180 degrees rule and a master shot. Match on action is where an object or person is shown in different shots but flows smoothly, with movements not having the shot jitter or skip actions, or when food is eaten in a shot and then is still there. Eye line match is when a person looks at something of shot and the item is then shown. using eye line match makes sure that where the person is looking is where the object is. the 180 degree rule makes sure that shots of two different people are on opposite sides of the screen when cutting between shots to show that they are on opposite sides to each other. a master shot is a wide shot of the scene to let the audience work out where everyone and everything is in a scene so they can understand how they are related to each other
We used match on action when the girl walked through the door and sat down, as we made the actions flow together so it didn’t confuse the audience by cutting randomly. We used eye line match during the conversation between the two people as one person asks a question and is looking in the other persons direction and this shows the audience where ,in the scene, the other person that they were talking to is. We used the 180 degree rule through out the task, but mainly when the people are talking to each other so the shot doesn’t change and confuse the audience. We used the master shot when we showed a mid-long shot of the two girls sitting at the table, setting the scene for the audience.

WWW

I think the best part of our continuity task was our match on action with the door as it flowed very seamlessly, apart from the beginning which we had to cut a little early as we had a continuity error we had to cut out as the wrong hand was used to open the door. I also think the way we used the over-the-shoulder shots worked effectively too as, following the 180 degree rule, we made the shots look good and did not confuse the audience by showing the two people on the same side of the screen.

EBI

We would have done a better piece if we had included a few more eyeline matches and making sure that we did keep the match on action the same for the first scene which we failed to do.

continuity Task

EBI

My least successful task was my Jobsite advert as my acting in the actual piece was very repetitive and the final editing ended up missing out lines of the script or changing them about. also would have been better if i did a poo and had a little sleepy in it.

WWW

I think my push a little button task went very well as I was able to create lots of interesting shots and buttons to press. Also I made the clips fit in with the music.

Tuesday, 19 October 2010

least fave task

My least favorite task was the recreating Donnie Darko task as it took a long time to set every scene out exactly like the movie did it, and then we had problems with having missing scenes or scenes that ran too fast to be effectively used in two parts. Also we had a shortage of props needed to effectively recreate the scene.

Saturday, 16 October 2010

My favorate task

my favorite task out of the induction was the recreation of the "push a little button" advert because it was fun to try and find as many buttons as possible in the room, and to then edit them into an advert. I also liked having to look at timing with the edits to make them look effective and flow well with each other and the music.
