Title Sequences - Homework

Reflecting back on the work we did on genre, I would like you to choose your own film opening and talk about how genre is established in the first 2-4 minutes of the film.

Example:

 
You can pick any film you like, even develop your first homework piece, but you must get used to using key media language and using the embed tool.

Key Terms to use in your analysis:
  • Repertoire of elements
  • codes and conventions
  • signs, signifier and signified
  • iconography
  • genre
  • representation
  • narrative
  • audience - expectations, positioning
Please read through your notes and make sure you follow this blog to get class updates.  You will be asked to use Voicethread next week for some of your tasks - so download the app.

This will count as your second of four film opening analyses and part of AP1.
