I found this powerpoint whilst researching for the question 'Discuss issues raised by media ownership in the production and exchange of media texts in your chosen media area'. I found it very useful.

fonts and text type

after talking to the group and taking into consideration the advice from our peers we have found a font that compliments both the genre of our film and our actual footage. We have decided to use STENCIL STD in WHITE, we will use the same font for both the film title and opening credits. The only difference for the openings credits is that there will be a black outline, we feel as though this will help the titles stand out but not take too much attention away from the actual content of the film opening.

reaction 2 off peers

so we showed our semi final opening to our other media peers, to see if they could pick up on anything we had missed out, or anything that didn't sit right with them.

plus we needed to get some guidance and a response from Miss Foster and check whether she could pick up on any improvements that we could make for our final. She

1) T the move between our titles were too sharp and we ought to play around with that.

2) The second recommendation she made was that not every one of our titles take after customary opening successions.

So in view of this we started to roll out a few improvements.

production companys

we decided as a group the out 'dab productions' was not suitable or proffesinal enough for a production company, so we went out and took two pictures to use as other commons who were 'involved' in there making of our opening.

removal of establishing shots

So we originally finished our two minute film opening and it was not long enough, we also didn't know how to put on our titles so we decided to extend out film by adding more establishing shots to the beginning of the surrounding area of our film so that we could put our title sequences on that, how ever we then realised that it did not suit the theme of our opening. it looked like this

explaining the lighting

 I want to us this post to clear up the distinction in lighting in two sections of the 2 minute film opening. The start is brilliantly lit, as the main character i goes from walking down the stairs into the car the lighting continuously gets to slightly darker So I need to legitimize the reason behind why we chose for there to be distinctive lighting focuses. We did this since we felt just as it would be good pathetic fallacy and add to the extreme atmosphere, and allow that to belie up for the following scenes. In any case, I understand that it may not appear that way to an audience so therefor as a group we will explain to our class why we have decided to do this and see their reactions and gather their thoughts on it. below you can see the slight difference in the light sequence.

Gangster's Paradise: Jerusalema (2008)

' A young hoodlums rise from a small-time criminal to a powerful crime entrepreneur during the turbulent years before and after the fall of apartheid' 

This film is about life in south Africas about how an intelligent child with the same hopes and dreams as anyone else; an education a job a family and hard work, he wishes to get these through legitimate ways how ever he lets his dreams fall and turns to a life of crime because it is the only thing he can do. the film is great as i shows how the idea of crime and loss of innocence is shown universally. Not just in the society that you live in, that it does happen a lot universally.
