Past Student Work Analysis

Playground.

Can you illustrate the elements which make the sequence an opening?
- At the begining on the clip before showing the sequence there was a quick advert saying 'Purity Film'
and when you start seeing the clip there isnt any music exept heavy breathing then it goes black and white to show that the boy is having a dream and then it say 'purity films prsents'. At 14 seconds thretening music comes in to show something is bad is happening. At 35 seconds it says 'Mitchell Screams Production' At 43 seconds they introduce the sequences title 'PlayGround'.
Analyse the four micro areas of the opening in relation to genre. e.g. how can the audience establish the genre through sound?
-The sound is non-diagetic at the beginging as the boy is just heavy breathing untill the music cuts in then the sounds are diagetic. The other non diagetic sound is the swings and the footsteps and scream.
The camera work is quite simple alot of it is handheld as this is a tension builder, they use a little girl in the sequence and a young man but you dont see their faces.
The mise-en-scene, the outfits were normal outfits for a little girl and a man, the little girl was carrying a teddy as a prop. There location was a park which was empty, then they used a narrow path into a woodlen bit, which was hidden.
When looking at the Marking Criteria i decided that i would give this video a level 3, as all the points labled to gain a level 3 this video had reached.
