Feedback

This is beginning to shape up - at last!

A few suggestions:
  • add either some clips or images from films to illustrate your comments
  • for each opening sequence, consider how character is established - do the makers create easily recognised stereotypes? if so, how? how do we know who the hero is/ who we are meant to favour?
  • how does each opening sequence signal genre?
  • narrative - how does each opening sequence construct its narrative - think Todorov?
  • Saw clip -needs analysis
  • Casino Royale clip - needs reflection at end - what can you learn from these clips and possibly use in your sequence?
  • Audience Research - add your reflection - what can you learn from these to incorporate in your product? Define your audience using GRASS and comment on how you will craft your opening to appeal to these groups?
  • Thriller OPenings - add reflection on how your sequence will respond to theses conventions - will it follow them? follow most? add something new? offer some reasoning why.
  • Thriller Conventions - remember that one of the key narrative expectations is that they continually offer us surprises and twists we don't expect; think through iconography in more detail. What about expectations of media language? what about ;locations? Don't forget to look over the work we did in the blue booklet on this?
  • Institutions - need to add why you have made this choice of institutional decision...
  • Titles- possibly add what details are shown in the titles and, if names etc appear, when an image is onscreen what kind of space are they located in???

This may look like a lot but it is mainly small additions here and there and will add depth and weight to your work. Having done this, I think it will be a case of mission accomplished on this front!
