Task9- title sequence analysis of favourite film -research

The film i will be analysing is called Divergent directed by Neil Burger. The start of this title sequence opens with the production company logos, just like most conventional films. This film consists of three different production companies, all in which are very well-known. Just like a conventional film, the director's name is the first persons name to be introduced after the production company credits. The name of the film is zoomed in closer to audience building tension and focus to the name of the film.

Task 7: analyse two film title sequences-research

The two title sequences i will be analysing is Skyfall and Snitch.

Snitch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOfvUTX4zF
Skyfall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4P5XRSftIHI

Snitch: Snitch's title sequence begins with the classic institutions being Summit Entertainment and A Lionsgate Company. when the audience see these recognisable institutions they can guess what type of film they are about to what. For example A Lionsgate Company are known for producing films such as The Hunger Games and Kick-Ass. This suggests that the audince will expect certain genres and creativity based on what they have seem this company produce previously. The first thing we as the audience see is a moving image of a gun suggesting that this film will include violance. The name of this film is written in red and in bold blocks suggesting that this film is going to be masculine. The main characters are introduces to the audience in this title sequence with the actors names. The soundtrack in this title sequence is very dominant suggesting once again that this film is very masculine. There is also moving images of trucks and an urban city suggesting that this film will be violant including crime and male domination.

Skyfall: As for Skyfall the title sequenc is much different to Snitch because it is much more longer then average films. This title sequence uses establishing shots which means that the location and time period is obvious in the title sequence, as well as showing some of the distruptions that will occur in the film. The soundtrack plays a sugnificant role in the title sequence because it is performed by an international singer called Adele. By choosing a well known song, this not only gives recognision to the singer but whenever someone hears this song 'Skyfall' they will not only think about the singer but they will also think about the film itself.

task 5-research

A film opening can attract an audience throughestablishing shots at the start of any film. Establishing shots set the scene of the film, representing the time period, setting and location of the film. An establishing shot also shows the distruption of a film. Introducing this type of shot right at the start of any film captures the audiences attention straight away because introducing abit of action at the start of the film will capture the audiences attention.

blog task 3-research

I decided to pick Kezia's group to analyse because theyre title sequence was very interesting and captured my attention throughout the whole sequence. The title sequence was very creative in the way the group used different lighting to create different effects.

pitch evaluation

I think that the pitch overall was a success because as a group we had the audiences attention throughout our pitch, and in the end we ended up with a high score out of ten. Our feedback was fairly positive because the audience said that they liked the fact that our mise-en-scene was very detailed, as well as the fact that we had screenshots of maps showing our journey to and from the location we filmed at. One of our downfalls was the fact that we didnt fully complete the end of our storyboard, which resulted to the audience getting abit confused. We could have made the presentation easier and more interesting if we used a range of different presentation softwares like emaze. However, overall i think that the pitch was a success because the audience seemed interested in our story of our title sequence as well as the genre that we picked.
