Evaluation Question 1

Opening Sound/Music Analysis 02

• Before the actual film sequence there is a build of diegetic screeching and the flapping of wings as a colony of bats fly across the screen.

• As the sequence the begins the music is quite fast paced and slowly begins to build up more and more pace.

• The music then begins to fade out as the two kids are talking and gets slower as Bruce runs away to hide.

• The music then reappears loudly as its followed by the diegetic sound of planks of wood breaking as the Bruce falls through the bordered up well.

• the music then becomes quite eery and atmospheric as Bruce looks into the cave, this is to build tension.

• This is then followed by the diegetic bat screeches and flapping of wings as the colony suddenly fly out of the cave towards Bruce.

• The scene then appears too cut to an older Bruce in what appears to be a be a prison, when he steps outside you can hear the non-diegetic sounds of guard dogs barking.

Opening Sound/Music Analysis 01

• Before the film starts there is a loud build up of non-diegetic music. This is as if its warning the audience that the film is about to start, and it requires all of your attention to be focused on the screen.

• The non-diegetic music, suddenly fades into background of the sound of loud waves crashing against the beach as the film begins.

• Now in accompany to the slightly quieter sound of the waves, the non-diegetic music is very atmospheric as it slowly builds itself back up, as we see the man washed up ashore and hear the faint laughter of children on the beach.

• At the moment the music is very atmospheric, and matches whats going on in the film, as there are not any recognizable sounds which reveals the location of the beach where the character has washed up ashore.

• The atmospheric music then changes, to something more tension building, as the audience see the old man accompanied by what appears to be his security.

• As the film carries on, the music gets quieter and slightly fades as the characters talk. This allows for the audience to pick up on what is going on.

• Later on, the music starts to pick up the pace and is accompanied to the diegetic sounds of the glass chandeliers moving and the characters watch slowly ticking.

• The slow ticking then builds up pace and is immediately followed up by a loud boom, as the film quickly changes location to a busy populated street where there's an explosion.

Credits/Titles Research 02

The titles and credits of this film are very interesting. The titles are typed  and scattered across the webs that appear on the screen. The webs later on in the opening begin to merge with what appears to be blood cells as it the visuals make it look like its entering a blood stream, the webs are then later on seen to be making the webbing of the spider man costume as the titles continue to be thrown and scattered around.

Credits/Titles Research 01

Catch Me If You Can



This is the opening credits for the Steven Spielberg film 'Catch Me If You Can'.This Opening Credits sequence basically tells us the plot of the film with a variation of animations. The style of the animation and the font reminds of something that you would possibly see in a 1960's movie opening, which is also possibly telling us that the setting and time of the film is not set in  the present. The font is very bold and stands out, in this opening they merge the font and the animations together to make an object or image like in the beginning where parts of Tom Hanks name are used to make a seat the character sits on.The colour of the font differs to the colour of the background, and also to the theme and setting the character walks towards. The size of the font seems to stay the same size throughout the opening showing continuity, but it only changes when the Title of the film is shown. Some of the code conventions of a thriller film are made very clear in this opening credits sequence as it shows the main character constantly changing his appearance and job profession because he is being chased by someone.

Behind The Scenes Photos

         

Here are some behind the scenes photos of my group and i filming for our Opening Sequence 'Caution'.

Action Genre Research

Action Film is a genre in which one or more heroes are thrust into a series of challenges that typically include physical feats, extended fight scenes, violence and frantic adrenaline pumped chase scenes. A typical feature or code convention of the action film genre is that they tend to have a character that has to struggle and overcome a number of impossible odds, such as life threatening situations, a villain or even a chase scene that usually ends with a victory for the hero.The reason for me Researching the action genre is because this is the genre my group and i have chosen to go with for our opening sequence called Caution.

Some of the most notable and recognized Action films are:

•  Die Hard ( film series)
• Terminator (film series)
• The Avengers
• The Matrix Trilogy
• Rocky (film series)
• Star Wars (film series)
• 300

Some of the most recognizable action stars are:

Arnold Schwarzenegger - Terminator

Sylvester Stallone - Rocky and Rambo

Jackie Chan - Rush Hour 

Typical Film Locations:

Most Action Films sometimes take place or are based in major cities or states, but most of the time where action films are set can be very diverse. Movies like Beverly Hills Cops and 2 Fast 2 Furious are based in California whereas Indiana Jones was set in a number of locations as the character traveled around alot.

Typical Props:

Props usually play a big important role in the action genre, as props can define the character. For example Indiana Jones and his infamous bull whip. Some props that are seen in action films are usually Guns, knifes, bow and arrows, police badges etc.

Below is a trailer for the film Die Hard, this is a good example of a typical action film - this is because it includes alot of explosions, gun fights and the hero overcoming impossible odds.
