Analyse and write about different film openings (3 film openings). - one of the film openings should be in a total different genre than the one you wish to do - for ex you create a thriller film opening - analyse 2 thriller film openings and one comedy film opening.
Excellent website with openings which already has the 9 frames extracted for each: www.artofthetitle.com
Guiding questions:
What are the conventions found in these film openings?
What do the elements in the opening represent? (Denotation and Connotation)
How is the credits part integrated with moving images? (Denotation and Connotation)
Who is the audience for this film opening? (be specific) What visual elements are making it suited for that particular audience?
What genre is the film in? How is this shown?
What features of the film opening will you use/not use in your own?
You have an example here:
