Value of Research So Far


Research

-          First I learnt that the majority of films start with the opening credits for the production company involved in the film. They are shown at the start because they have nothing to do with the film and it basically introduces the film. We will introduce our production company ‘Antler Productions’ first as well.

-          I also discovered that many film start with establishing shots; this gives the audience an idea of where the film is going to be set and an idea of the type of characters.

-          The first 2 minutes of a film also tend to show the main characters involved in the film to give the audience and idea of the people.

-          I also noticed that the opening on a film sometimes contains the names of the actors in the film. 

-          The order of the openings is the production company, actors and the introducing the film title its self

-          I also discovered that there are sometimes mid shots as well. This is an informative way of showing the audience the characters and setting because that is basically what the shot is off.

-          There is sometimes a voiceover as well in the first few shots to give the audience an idea of what is going on and to help them identify the main character. This is non-diegetic sound and I think it would be effective in my own film.

-          There is also important use of mise-en-scene in the first two minutes because there is normally a specific lighting / setting to set the mood of the film
