Deadline Opening Sequence Evaluation - Part 5 How Does Your Media Product Represent Particular Social Groups?

Camera, Angle, Shot Movement And Position

The opening of my title sequence shows a persons face looking very scared, from a close up shot. When we want the audience to focus on a specific age group for the movie we wanted this face of John to represent what that age group was. The close up shot was used because it strikes a bigger impact of fear into the audiences eye and makes them think about what is there.

Editing

The editing used differed, sometimes there was fast jump cuts but then sometimes there was shots that took a while before it jumps to another scene. We tried to use a mixture of both short and long because of the impact they have on an audience. The shorts jump cuts keep the audience guessing what is it going to go to and what might happen. The long cuts make the audience think about what is happening in this scene and because of it being on for sometime what might happen next.

Sound

The sound of the sequence is very unique as it has a very mysterious effect to it. The sound does not fit in with any social groups because its not very heavy and loud or too quiet and soft, it has a unique effect to it that makes it go well with the sequence film.
