Evaluation question 1: 9 frame analysis director commentary

EVALUATION ACTIVITY 1

In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? (i.e. of film openings)

Remember when we looked at 9 frames from Art of the title sequence? Well now it's your turn to do the same with nine of your frames.

You should go through the final version of the project and select nine distinct frames which you screengrab and drop into a photoshop template in the same style as the website. You will be using these to write about how typical or not of opening sequences your particular design is, so choose them carefully.

Once you have the nine frames neatly in Photoshop, screengrab the whole thing and post to your blog, then write (or record a voiceover commentary) analysis of how you have used such conventions.

The aspects we would like you to consider across your nine frames are:

1. The title of the film, font, style & effects
2. Setting/location
3. Costumes and props
4. Camerawork (Smooth, Framing, Composition)
5. Continuity Editing
6. Sound & Foley
7. Story and how the opening sets it up
8. Genre and how the opening suggests it
9. Image Control & Lighting
