First Evaluation Question Setup

EVALUATIVE QUESTION

Question 1:

In what ways does your media project use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media projects?

Talk about:

1. Movie title and what it hints at or gives away
2. Credit fonts, colour, sounds, and background
3. Method of intercutting and credits
4. Style of shots in relation to other films
5. Enigma of thriller film compare to other sci-fi films
6. Continuity as to what I let the audience know
7. Props seen within the thriller

What I'm going to do:

1. Get obscurely named movies (real and fictional names) with voiceovers for thoughts on movie titles from youth and adults i.e. "From reading a movie title, what do you think it is about?"
2. Compare it with other films e.g. Sherlock Holmes 2 ending with typewriter (enigma at the end, not opening), Kids Next Door typewriter opening and sounds
3. Look to the films that were analyzed previously in the course to compare how I used their styles **Saul Bass titles** ***North by Northwest***
4. Contrast to another film like WOLVERINE ORIGINS, MIB, FANTASTIC 4 (sci-fi movies with scenes in a lab)
5. Contrast to other films on different methods used. I don't think I saw a title sequence like mine in regards to enigma
6. Talk about using POV shots to make the audience feel like they are in the movie
7. I AM LEGEND comparison to entry logs

Method of Delivery:

1. Use Final cut to make a video for the audience opinion of what they think a film would be about based on its name
2. Incorporate youtube clips of Sherlock Holmes 2 ending and Kids Next Door opening sequences with audio
3. Text based comparison with screen shots of title sequences of North by Northwest
4. Text based comparison with screen shots of scenes from X-Men: Wolverine Origins, Men in Black, and Fantastic Four.
5. Reference other title sequences analysed in the course and contrast *Ask for teacher's opinion on how to handle this acpect*
6. Screen shot and discuss how the audience is moved to be a part of the thriller opening
7. Use clips of I am Legend entry logs to compare with props used and mise en scene
