opening (first take)


AS Media StudiesPlanning my film openingClaire Bowman and Mia Marr




For our film opening we decided to create a sequence with a thriller genre.
Our film opening is set in a park where there is two female characters, Mia and Jemma,  jogging. 






They decided to take a break and sit on a bench until Jemma feels she is going to be sick.








She runs over to a bush behind them, instead of being sick she screams as she sees a body laying in the bush. Mia is then startled and runs over to Jemma where she is in shock and sees the body too. 








Mia runs off to find help whilst Jemma rings the emergency services and continues to see whether the unknown person is alive or not. 




    

Mia couldn't find any help but thankfully the emergency services come and the young girl who is presumed dead is taken away in the ambulance.

Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark - title sequence


     The title sequence is playing at the beginning of the film whilst the actors, production team, director and the other people involved in the film are introduced. This is making sure the audience is aware of everyone involved and engages them to watch the rest of the movie.
From the start of the film, I can see that it is action/adventure movie because of the setting, music and costume of the characters. The music is tense and builds up the adventurous expectations of the movie.
     The opening of the film introduces the main protagonists of the film. The focus is mainly on Indiana Jones whom is who we see at the start to finish.
Close up shots are mainly used on Indiana Jones and the setting around him to indicate that he is the main character and to show the setting and to help indicate the genre of the film. The close ups used shows the audience his appearance. One important title which is used is 'South America 1936' which enables the audience to know the whereabouts of the characters.

     The beginning of the film shoes that the film is an adventure film from the shorts if the sights of the mountains. Also, later on in the opening we see men walking through a rainforest, this also states very clearly that its an adventure film.


     The first time some of the characters are introduced is when they walk into the shot, one by one, with their back to the camera. you then see them walking through the rainforest.
