Audience Research

Analyse Previous Students Work

Representation In Films

What I Learnt:
From this task I learnt about the different social groups in movie openings and how they can be represented.From doing this I can the also use this to work out how to represent social groups in my own movie opening.

Title Sequence

What I Learnt:
From this task I learnt how to use text and the different effects on iMovie.I tried to make it as similar to the actual thing but i couldn't get the big 'STAR WARS' logo which appears at the start and disappears as that font wasn't available to me. Also couldn't get the stars in the background like in the actual one because the background wasn't available to me.

Narrative Structure

What I Learnt:
I learnt about the different theories about films and how the opening sequences reveal what the film is going to be about.For example I analysed three different movie openings and how the theories were relevant to them. Although the theories didn't fit all of the movie openings I do now know what theories to consider when making my opening sequence.

Title Research

What I Learnt:
From this task I learnt what title sequences consist of and how they hook the audience. I also learnt what order the titles come up and good ways of presenting those titles. I also learnt how title sequences can give the audience a good idea of what the film is going to be about. I can use these different title sequence ideas in my own movie opening to make it better.

Remake The Opening Sequence Of A Coming Of Age Film

What I Learnt:
From this task I learnt what a good movie opening consists of and what filming and editing techniques to use when making it. At first we had a set back as we had started to copy the opening of ghost busters but we lost all of our work from that as we lost the memory card from the camera, so that is something to learn from. We then had to quickly think of another opening to do and managed to copy the submarine opening in just one lesson.
