An Analysis Of The Opening Sequence Of Vertigo from Media Studies
These are some examples of presentations on opening sequences to films.
These are some examples of presentations on opening sequences to films.
- How successful are they at identifying conventions?
- Personally, I don't think any of these presentations are particularly good at identifying the conventions of opening title sequences. There are fairly good explanations but not all of the conventions have been mentioned. All I've really learnt from them is that the director's, actor's, producer's, distributor's and editor's names are displayed as credits. I don't feel that the presentations have provided much guidance on how to film an opening title sequence as a director.
- Who is the audience?
- The audience ranges from Media/Film students to people who want to be creative and film their first movie (or short movie) and need to learn how to do this.
- What is the purpose of the presentations?
- The purpose of the presentations is to educate others that are interested in developing their knowledge of the key conventions of opening title sequences, possibly purposely providing limited information in order to encourage others to do some independent learning to fill in the rest of the information.
- Is the format successful?
- The first two presentations are successful with their format, as they are clearly showing the information that is needed. However, if I'm honest, I didn't even bother to read the third one, as I much prefer having the conventions stated clearly rather than having to sift through information trying to find the right points.
- Did they identify ALL of the conventions accurately?
- The first two presentations present different conventions, which means that they don't identify all of the conventions of opening title sequences. Also, while the first presentation identifies more conventions, the second identifies less but provides much more detailed explanation and analysis.
