finding sounds and speech ideas

On Tuesday we was tasked to go in to the Mac room and complete and improve our blogs then when Miss Otti was ready she was calling us and discuss our blogs and how we could improve them.
We then had to have our film ideas heard by on voice record and we had to go through all of the details and make sure they are possible ideas and that we are not over ambitious furthermore we had to make sure that they are achievable under the budget of nothing and they are achievable under the amount of time that we have.

The following day

I was in the Mac room with jeevan and we was looking up possible special effect and music from London grid for learning and this produced a lot of possible tracks that we could use throughout the title sequence from this we had to chose from a wide variety but finally we chose to record speech and distort it using professional equipment in the music department.

enigma code

The enigma code was first invented by a man called barthes.
The enigma is primarialy designed to cause mysterious items and questions through out a horror and this is also like a cliff hanger and example of an enigma would be from the film title sequence se7en because you see what the man is drawing but this will raise questions like what is he drawing? what is he writing ? who is he?

With the enigma code it will create atomosphere and instantly draw the audience in with many questions so this will create suspence and enjoyment and this will make the audience want ot stay and watch the rest of the film so that you find out the answers.

Another example of an enigma is in the film law abiding citzen because you see a  man on the floor beatne up with his house broken in to with his wife and child murdered this will raise questions like whos the murderer? who are the people that gets beaten up? these questions are created by the enigma codes working together.

STINCS





style
this is the opening part of the title sequence it has the production companies and the main character which is then followed by the title.
the first few picture you see a life form of some sort and from this you can tell that it is  alien life form because it is not the same as what a humans is. it is very close up and detailed to the species. the style of the title sequence has been made to look science fiction  and it has very dark and mysterious images which doesn't reveal much to the audience.







theme
the theme of this title sequence is showing the audience that it is a science fiction film because of the way that life forms are very different and they are not usual to the public straight away because the texture of the skin that you see show that it is not a normal object. 
with the mysterious skin makes the audience think ask what is this ?





iconography
the iconography of the title sequence is very bold and obvious and it is white which is a contrast to the dark and space back ground this makes the words stands out to the audience and makes it easier for the audience to read.














narrative
the narrative of the film alien, so far from the title sequence you get the idea that it is set in space because of the space shit the eternal darkness and the planet of some kin in the back ground furthermore you see the stars in the back finally with the obscure skin in the beginning of the title sequence this adds to the mystery of what the creature could be.

characters 
from this title sequence we know that there will be some characters traveling somewhere and will be a creature of some sort trying to kill them.

setting 
this is set in space and possibly on the planet that is maybe deserted furthermore it will have a strong setting on the space ship or the space ship will have a strong resemblance for the film.

django analysis

This is the films production company 


This is conventional for Quentin Tarantino film for his name to be one of the first show on the opening credits





In this title analysis i have chosen django because i feel this has quite a expansive title sequence because straight away you see the production company then you are in the film traveling through the sun kissed desert where there is no life for miles and you see the main character names whilst there slave are traveling.
The style of the font in in blood red which is a good foreshadow in some ways because throughout this film there are some gruesome and horrifying scenes so having the blood red is a significant colour.
This the title of the film we have django name in red which could mean that he has suffered and bled a lot because of the torture that you see he has suffered from his back and then the peaceful and holy colour of white which is used for the word unchained and the reason why it was holy because he was set free and saved like god was making sure he lived.



the way that the camera focuses on this man shows the audience that he is the main character for the film so this is a early recognition of the character django






here again the audence is show the expression of the character because of the pain that he has to go through whilst walking and the tiredness that you see in his face


The screen shot above has changed locations this has now put us in a wooded area and has show the producers name and the setting shows us that they are traveling at night first of all not just the dark lighting but the fact that the slaves are covered in robes and this could mean that the area is cold because of the drop in temperature furthermore when you see the slaves at night this shows the audience that they are constantly walking and are never let to rest and their lived are very miserable.

From this title sequence we see the main character names shown in a blood red which can show pain danger and the anger that will be shown from the Djangos point of view.
We also put straight in to the film showing us Django's very painful journey to where the film starts and this is quite a good way to start the film because of the similar way that the hulk film start because of the way it starts explaining the story to the audience to save time.

This is our power point for bob kurtz that we had to do for our media lesson

group analysis

The Conjuring.
This is the first scene from the title sequence as you see that it has a very grainy black and white this straight away confides to the codes and conventions for a horror first of all the family picture looks mysterious because of the way it has been taken plus  to add the show it has been edited to look like old film that is being played by a old film camera this shows that the film will have history.

In the last two screen shots they has been two family names this foreshadows the film later on plus this could mean that the family would be involved later on.





This is the start of the film it shows two characters these could be important to the film furthermore whilst in the back ground there is a projection showing the producers of the film.
This effect of the grain is giving the audience the allusion that it has a long and historical event and from this the audience will be intrigued to carry on watching to see who those families are.





These screen shots of the title sequence show that there has been news stories of ''ghostly activity and it has been in a museum'' these have been taken because these scenes might have been in the film and it could be important but they produce a macguffin








In these last screen shot you see pictures of the cast as their characters but for three of the characters its is placed in a grave yard this could foreshadow the deaths of people of the families graves that you see..
The images are very distressing to the audience because seeing death can make images or memories which can be uncomforting.








These scene can produce foreshadows for the future of the film it includes a wegie board a tree with a knot like someones going to hang them selves these are the most distressing because creating these situations can have bad repercussions which will lead to a poor future.
