Typography

(By Kit Fielder)









How typography might look:

Learning comment: this task i have found out what kind of text and fonts we'll will be using for our final idea. This task i have leant that typography is important for when we make our opening sequence because the text is the first thing the audience will see on the screen.

Representation of films

Leaning comment: from this task I have learnt that the use of mise en scene can create representation of social groups. This task has helped me for when I make my own opening sequence because listening to different sounds and looking at the camera shots taken in opening sequences can represent films and can identify social groups

Audience Research

Audience profile

Preliminary Task

From the preliminary task i have learn't new camera skills and how to make effective footage from using different editing techniques and camera shots.

Producers and Distributors

Learning comment: I am surprised at the amount of companies that have made a fortune over some of the coming of age films that some have distributed. I am also surprised that some companies such as Columbia pictures and 20th Century Fox were founded nearly a decade ago which has shown how far these distributors have come to be well-known.

Director Case Study

Greg Mottola was born on July 11, 1964 in Dix Hills, Long Island, New York, USA as Gregory James Mottola. He is a director and producer, known for Superbad (2007), Paul (2011) and Adventureland(2009). Both films adventure land and Superbad have an upbeat tune in the opening sequences Greg Mottola tends to not re-use actors in his films because of the different types of film that he makes provide certain characters for certain ages. The narrative for his films are quite different but his films Superbad and adventure land feature relationships. Mottola's has a particular style for his films which the genre for most of his films are comedy and the two films "Superbad" and "adventure land" are about a life of a teenager that finds love.

Learning comment:from this task I have learnt that using diegetic or non-diegetic sound can be useful for when I'm making my own opening sequence. I have also learnt from this task that the use of voices can have an impact on my opening sequence because it can give the audience an insight of what the character in my opening sequence is like just through the characters voice.
