- 1. P E T YA , G R O U P 2 7 QUESTION 1
- 2. FILM OPENINGS START WITH CERTAIN CONVENTIONS REGARDLESS OF THEIR GENRE. • At the beginning of every film there is a logo of the production/distribution company because the movie itself advertises the company which has helped with the funding and media distribution. Examples of these are DreamWorks, Universal and many more.
- 3. DISTRIBUTION COMPANY Summit entertainment’s design is very similar to our distribution company. The background has an ombre style colour and in the logo is placed in the middle. The company also distributes many films, the same genre as our, such as Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Divergent and others – (action, thriller, mystery).
- 4. FILM TITLE • The title of the film also appears at the very beginning and it always has a purpose. Most of the times, titles reveal a bit of information about the movie itself, for example the title “The Hunger games” says exactly what the movie is about – games of hunger. However, the title “Red 2” has more hidden and secret meaning, as it only says a colour but no one from the audience knows what the movie is going to be about just by reading the title. Of course, the colour red conveys ideas such as blood and crime, which actually reveals the genre of the film – action, thriller, crime. Our film title comes right after our establishing shots, and it’s placed on the whole screen over the image of a character. The title is the main aspect and it’s shown over the image of an important character, to present her as a part of the “Project Scorpio”. Without the title, the image only shows a woman, who is possibly waiting for the train.
- 5. THE ORDER OF TITLES The purpose of our title sequences is to inform the audience with the most important members of the production. It also has an advertising purpose, because when an audience sees a famous name, they will definitely watch that film. The order for our title credits is like: title - actors – casting – costume – music – editor – production designer – photography – writer – director We used this order of titles because this is the legal way of titles for films and also because the audience can focus on the actions more than on the titles.
- 6. COMPARISON • The titles for “Forest Gump” • The titles for “Skyfall” Our title credits are similar to the ones for Forest Gump, as our order is similar and we have also used the most important titles because we want to highlight what was happening in the background of these titles.
- 7. MISE EN SCENE • The collage bellow represents our use of mise an scene, and how that is similar to the mise en scene of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, which is also a film about two spies. The use of red lipstick, black outfits, gloves and mobile phone is conventional as spies in other films are using the same props, costume and make up, conveying the mystery, classy/bossy characters and their unknown identity.
