Genre Specific Analysis

This screenshot shows a teenager standing on the side of the road. For me, he doesn't look like the  Stanley Hall argument of hall teens are sex, drinks and drug addicts.

Here you can see another disagreement with Stanley Halls argument with a old teenager playing with wrestling toys. He is in need of excitement however his excitement is playing with toys. I also noticed that he is on a bus with kids that are significantly younger than him. This could be showing another side to his childishness . A child next to him asks him what he's going to do today. This tells me he has done some little rebellious stunts before hand and its on a regular basis. This does agree with Osgerby's argument that 'youth are fun' and 'youth are trouble' and this clip shows me he is both. This is because he throws the wrestler out the bus but attached to string. He shouldn't be doing meaning he is causing trouble but having fun doing it.

We will use a similar stereotype to ...... argument because i feel this is what the audience would prefer. We are going to do it by....

Analyse - All 3

Dead Pool Title Sequence Analyse:
The film DeadPool is about mercenary man called Wade Wilson who is a former special forces operative. An evil scientist tortures and refigures him into who we know as Deadpool. This changes him not for all the bad. He gets an increase in humour and with accelerated healing powers. However all this nearly took his life so he was looking for revenge. The film was released in 2016 and has an age certificate of 15.
It is an ......... opening.
This title sequence is a comedy towards other action movie.
In the title sequence to DeadPool, there is a non diegetic song played over a freeze framed scene of a car crash. Over than the lyrics of the song, there is no narrative in the clip. In the title sequence the characters are freeze framed so there is no movement of the characters. However, the camera movement gives us many views and angles of the scene giving us different interpretations There is one setting established which is the car crash. There is also 6 characters established which appears they are having a fight between the two however we don't know who is who. We see the main character Deadpool.
As said previous, there is defiantly two sides of the battle here, the good and the bad. However we do not know who is who.

Deadpool is an action, comedy film. In the title sequence, we start the titles with a man that has his mouth open. The camera zooms out in a tilt which tells me something isn't right. There is a funny aspect to it as his facial expression is funny. The camera then travels through a cup lid showing the coffee and the cup. The cup has the name Rob very clearly written on it which could signify that he is an important character or it is there for the comedy part of it. While zooming out still, we see flying pieces of glass then to zoom out onto a magazine. The magazine is very comical because it says 'sexiest man alive' on the front of it. It is funny because the picture on the front is of the main actor in the movie, Ryan Reynolds. Another comical aspect of the title sequence is the titles. They start of normal then to turn into a description. 'starring, gods perfect idiot' and ' a british idiot'. This signifies to me the film is going to be really funny throughout.

Toy Story:
Toy story is about cartoon toys coming to life when there owner isn't around. Everything is going good, there owner (Andy) is playing with them until Buzz Lightyear believes he has crashed onto a alien planet. However, he has just be moved from the shelf in a toy store. Andy starts to play with buzz more than he plays with woody which scares him. He could be put away and not played with again. Can buzz and woody play nicely?

In the opening of the title sequence, Woody is laying on the floor. Because he is the first character we see, it kind of signifies that he is the or a main character in the film. The first title we see of Walt Disney Pictures, which tells me it has potential to be a great film. I can also tell by the start of this title sequence that it is going to be aimed at children because of a cartoon character and the Walt Disney productions. Over the top the film, the song 'you've got a friend in me' is being played non dietetically.

The next character we meet Andy, a child, and he is the owner of all the toys. We know he is young because as he is playing with his toys, he is talking to them. Other instances of Andy being young is his imagination. He has cardboard boxes with drawing of places on them.

The film name 'Toy Story' then shown is in big bold lettering with a cloudy sky wallpaper background. The blue is a very light blue with has a conation of fun and happy.

Throughout the opening of it we see other characters such as a piggy bank, dog, spaceman and a cowboy. This also tells me he loves a variety of toys also signifying that he is a fun child.  The sound we hear in the title sequence, other than the song, is Andy speaking and Woody when his string is being pulled.

As the film goes on, you can see that the genre is manly adventure. I would also say the sub genre is family. This is because Andy and the toys are almost like family. They do oeverything together. The adventure isn't clear at the start of the film but it turns out to happen in every movie.

The first words we hear is Andy telling woody that he is his favourite deputy. Woodys cord then tells Andy he is his partner. This also tells me of there friendship anf family kind of status. The non diegetic music over the top playning is' you've got a friend in me' which again shows the relation between the two characters.

Napoleon Dynamite:

The napoleon dynamite opening scene is very clever. It tells the audience of what genre it is going to be while also being creative at the same time. I know of what genre it is going to be because of the use of food. The food conveys the information in the mise-en-scene to show a more lighthearted movie. This most likely means a comedy. 

The food could looks like the general uni life food. Telling me we could be dealing with a 19-24 year old man as the main character. Other than the food which is a clever way to tell the titles, he uses his student ID and his library card. He also shows his Alien card which connatates me a more nerdy kind of character.

By him having a student card, this tells me it could based in a high school or university. The food also signifies to me that it is based pm high school.

The non diegetic music being played tells us it is a comedy aswell as the lighting of the food. The camera is in a stationary position with plates of foods being placed onto the scene. The camera shot is close up. The editing is a jump cut from scene to scene. This makes it easier to follow. As for the characters, you can not see much of them. You only seen one on the student card, which could be telling us he is the main character.

 

Title Sequences

A title sequence is a way that films present the title of the film, stars of the film and key production.

Discrete Title Sequence:
This is also known as a mini film. One of the best examples for this is James Bond: Skyfall. It is a bunch of separately filmed clips that are all put together and played before the film starts.  This usually sets the tone for the rest of the movie.








Narrative Openings:
They are an easy and effective way to get the audience intrigued from the start. It can give the audience a better understanding of the start of the film.











Credits over a blank screen:
These are the simplest kind of opening of a film. It also comes across as the cheapest as it doesn't require any actors or special cameras for scenery.












Stylised:
This kind of title sequence requires a lot of editing. Most of the editing is used within the texts, almost as if its bringing it to life.

Evaluation

The research of my media work helped me understand the basic aspects of the camera as I had never done media before this. It allowed me and my group to gather the correct information to create the right scene with a good atmosphere. My groups outcome looked very good because we had prepared before hand.
The target audience to this scene would be teens aged between 13-18. I would say this because it contains humour which would appeal to both genders. However there it could appeal more to the female due to the stereotypical man not watching relationship films. The humour in this scene is would appeal to a male because he could relate it to a mate being friendzoned.
I attracted my audience by creating a  humour which is liked by both genders and a variety of ages.
I have learnt how to use complicated cameras to film. I have also learnt how lighting and other natural aspects like wind make it difficult to film.
The strengths of my final film are that it runs smoothly through out the scene. However, we noticed when editing that we had a lot of background noise which could have been amended.
