Media Institutions

 A Media institution that would distribute the movie that had our opening title sequence would be a company like Warner Bros picutrees who also distribute. They have produced horror movies such as IT and It 2 which are the same type of horror movie My our sequence is like, the movie It has the same target audience of the average teenager that likes movies. However those are high budget movies and our opening title sequence is not high budget. They alos heavily market their movies which bring in large profits

Other distribution companies are kaleidscope pictures. Kaleidscope pictures distributed the film, tank 432 which is a horror movie and could also be a distribution company. Tank 432 is a low budget independent film which is the type of film that our openng sequence is. They are different type of horror movies with tanke 432 being more of a psychological horror movie, and our sequence being a of a traditional horror movie. 

Other distribution companies include companies such as, Lionsgate films. Lionsgate films are a film production and distribution company. They have distributed films such as american psycho and green room. Since they have distributed a lot of horror movies, the opening title sequence of our film fits into the horror genre and it would work well with a distribution of lionsgate films.

Roles in Research

On Our Shoot Day the Director was Jana. I shot a lot of the shots and Jana did as well. When we dited the sequence it will be me and Jana. Producer/art direction is Kai.

Media production is social collaboration which requires a vision of labor - specialized skills in order to manufacture the right shots in getting the correct genre conventions and tone of the opening sequence.

When I went to the set my role wast mostly shooting some of the shots and recording with the microphone. The shots I took was the  long shot outside peaslake, and the pull focus outside peaslake. Before the Shoot I needed to prepare the camera for shooting peaslake. By getting out the tripod and setting up the camera. My role is to make shots that portray the mood of out sequence which establish the genre of horror. The other shots I did included the shots inside the car of the girls, and the shots inside of the car on Adam. I used the microphone with the wide shot of peaslake. I also did the shots outside in the garden of the girls playing and of Adam's daughter standing in the window. We took some things that we needed such as the sheets for the sofa. 

Our Target audience

 Our Targeting quite teenage to young audiences for our opening title sequence, It is that type of horror type of film that those age demographics are interested in. Those age demographics. The types of audiences that like horror movies. The type of audience we are aiming for is the average type of people who are interested in horror movies and want a classic horror movie to watch with a friend.The Mainstream is the type of audience our film is for, they would enjoy the value of this film for the money it would cost to watch. The gender of audiences would be for both however It is more leaning towards Male audiences than female audiences. The class of people we are aiming for are the middle class, lower-middle class, and skilled working class the average people just looking to watch a nice horror movie. The hobbies the audiences would include something likes reading books that are scary and watching movies. The Male audiences especially would be teens and would be into playing games and watching action movies and horror movies and I think this movie would

cater towards that specific audience.

Based off of the research that I have done, the target audience would be 17 - 24 year old people. Examples that I have used are the movies IT 2017 and the movie the conjuring. Both movies are age-rated 15 which shows the target audience of these types of horror movies which are young teens. The target audience would be males that are adults in their mid 20s to late 20s and younger audiences from ages 18-24, the majority of the reviews off of imbd came from audiences these audiences and were males showing that my type of film would appeal more to men than women.  For it 2017, 24952, of the reviewers were males, and for the conjuring, 264, 330 of the audiences were males. People aged under 18 averaged a score of 7.5, which was silghtly more than the others which shows that the movie appeals to teenagers.

Evaluation of the Shoot

 Overall I think the shooting of our sequence went quite well and we got to film everything we needed to film. When we first arrived at the shoot we explained every shot we were going to take during the shoot. Jana explained what was going to happen. After that we eventually started shooting at about 10 before the children arrived. We had to go into the house and clear stuff off walls and desks so the house looked empty  The first shot we took was when we drove out to a place where we could see peaslake from affair. We jumped the fence and then after that I took the firsy shot which a long shot of peaslake house. After that shot, we took another shot of a pull focus on the barbwire to peaslake. We then drove and then a shot was taken through the window of the car at the forest. When we arrived back at peaslake, the children had arrived and we discussed how we would shoot the shots in the car. I sat in the front seat and we ended up with me sitting on the seat facing the back of the car with the camera to get the shot of the kids as we were driving. I then took a shot in the back of Adam and at an angle where it would look like a forest.  We then took the camera outside to get a wide shot of peaslake house with the cars coming through the drive. We went inside the house. 

When we went inside peaslake house we got all the shots  that were meant to be inside. We moved the sofas and put sheets over them, so we could get the shot with the children playing and it helped make the house look old. Jana then decided that one of the girls would put the sheet over the camera so then it would cut to the next moment. The next moment We filmed Adam's daughter with Adam coming and touching her shoulder, with a close up. After we got everything done in the house we went for lunch and then came back. After we came back we finished the rest of the shots outside of the kids playing and then we got the final shot of Adam's daughter up in the room through the window and then we finished. Overall this filming day was very successful as we managed to get all of the necessary shots that we needed as well as adding more shots to it to make our sequence better and getting multiple of the same shots to make sure we got the right shot. 

The Storyboard

 The storyboard the Jana made. 

Editing

 Editing the sequence. In Media we edited the sequence that we filmed. The sequence that I edited together was putting together the good shots that I filmed. I filmed some shots twice in order to choose the best one. The shots were a close up was of a wide shot of the conversation I filmed of Amy and Jana that A close up on both of them then an over the shoulder shot of both of them. We also learned some new editing techniques such as how to cut which is the c key, we also learned how to adjust the sound on Adobe premier pro. 

Delicatessen opening

 

I will be analysing the opening sequence to the movie Delicatessen. The exposition to this sequence is used to set the time and place of this film. In the sequence, non – diegetic sounds of Accordion music is played in the background. This is used to set the location. It shows that this movie is set in France. This movie also sets the time of film. There is an establishing shot of thick yellow fog and there are broken buildings. This helps create the setting of this film. It shows that war has occurred. The camera slowly zooms into a door. There are diegetic, pleonastic sounds of a knife being sharpened. The camera zooms into this knife and the chief sharpening it. This shows that this chief is an important character in the film at the beginning there is barely any music in the background. This creates a dark tone to this sequence. The camera moves to someone that is disguising himself to hide in a bin. There is a close up on his face which shows that he is nervous. His facial expression is an exaggerated nervous face. When he hides in the bin and he gets found, the chief that finds him, laughs and then slices down his knife. His laugh indicates that this film is a comedy. The characters in this sequence are very exaggerated which shows that this film is a comedy. This shows that this movie is a dark comedy. The chief slicing the man who is hiding helps create the narrative to this film. It seems to be about a chief that is a murderer.

After this moment, non-diegetic sounds of an accordion are playing. This is used in order to create stereotypical French music which sets the location of this film in France. The music is very playful which shows that the genre of this film is a comedy. During the opening credits, the camera pans to the right showing different items in the credits. This sets the location of the scene. It zooms into a book. There is a hand which shows the dark humour of the film. The editing with the transition with the knife into the title gives off a comedic effect.

This sequence sets the time and place of this film. It shows that is set in France. It shows that this France has been through war as it shows the yellow fog and the broken buildings It also sets up the genre of the film. It starts off very dark and builds up tension and suspense to the when the character gets sliced by the chief. It sets up the story line of this movie. It shows that this movie is about some chief that is a killer.  It also sets up the genre as a dark comedy. This is done using the acting of the characters. The acting is very exaggerated which creates a comedic effect. At the end of the sequence, there is French accordion music playing in the background. The music is very playful which shows the dark comedy of the film.
