Then the next shoot included shot reverse shot filming of me and Zoe having a short conversation. To do this shoot Joe had to capture the conversation from behind Zoe then incorporated the 180 degree rule and took a shoot from behind me (over our shoulders) where we had to repeat the conversation. All of this was edited to make everything join together smoothly and it fades to black at the end to clearly end the overall sequence. The hardest decision we had to make was what dialogue we used as we were overthinking it too much but in the end we kept it simple and straight forward. Monday, 14 November 2016

Character Analysis Of High School Musical
Gabriella Montez is a timid character in High School Musical and isn't really well known because she doesn't like to flaunt her talents as she is shy. She follows the crowd and hides behind her books a lot so doesn't like to be noticed by a lot of people as she is a nervous character. But, Gabriella is always up for helping others and is very kind to anyone she talks to around the school no matter what social group they're in.

Title Sequence Of Bad Teacher
The second image is showing us the school location but it is a simple still shot of it which doesn't give us much detail on the school. This could mean that where they are isn't very important to the narrative.
.. or it means that the woman takes all of the viewers attention by her look and maybe her personality.
The backdrop is plain which drawers your attention to the characters even more and because of the style of writing and font I think the target audience is older teenagers. Also, I think this because of the look of this woman 'Ari'.
The sequence ends by telling the audience that the blonde woman is 'Bad' by clearly displaying it with bold back writing and a black arrow directed to her.
Title Sequence Of Radio Rebel
The title sequence for Radio Rebel begins by showing the viewer that it is a Disney film. Automatically this lets people know that it is suitable for children and teenagers. By informing the viewers who the film is by it immediately will help them decide whether they want to watch the film.
It goes straight into the film as the main character is talking to you within 8 seconds of the opening starting. This intrigues viewers as it seems like the voice over is talking directly to them.
Then it shows up a close up of the voice overs eyes which implies that she is the main character and is quite mysterious.
17 seconds in we see the title 'Radio Rebel' in the centre of the screen typed in big red letters that are slanted slightly. A question mark can be seen in the D and R of rebel.
At 50 seconds the screen grows to fit the whole viewing screen and we see all types of different students doing various things.
After all of the panning the audience see two characters having a conversation so straight away we are taken into the film and the story line starts.

Teen Angst- Dirty Dancing
The opening sequence for Dirty Dancing has factual text as it shows us the cats and crew quite seriously is pink font which would attract teenage girls more than boys. It's also aesthetic with the back and white montage clips flowing behind the text. Quite a serious tone is being set but the soundtrack keeps the sequence upbeat and the music is catchy and popular in its time, it goes with the opening very well. The function of the titles is to inform the intended teenage audience what type of genre the film is and that it is about dancing. Clues to what the narrative will be are shown through the show motion montage of teens.
The sequence is live action which keeps it classy and informative, all of the credits are shown over the top of the on going video in the background. As it shows the viewer what the film is about, it is a good introduction to the film. This links to other sequences of this genre as it informs the viewer that there are teenagers starring in the film and there's a sense of love and passion which links to teens developing their sexualities as they mature or experiment. All the institutional information is presented within the names of the actors and so on, every name is shown in a different curly font which draws attention to them.

Teen Angst- Juno
The sequence introduces a fictional text, it has a light hearted and comic tone as it reminds the viewer of a comic book because of the comical type of font as it's red, yellow and bold. It addresses the teenage target audience. The sequence shows a mixture of live and animation, it begins live but turns into animation then finishes live again, this has been chosen because it interests the target audience. It is quite a quick pace editing but the sequence seems long because of the short pauses on the cast and crews names.
The soundtrack used for the opening is a catchy song that would've have been popular when the film was released, and the text showing credits is shown on the ground and on signs which shows a flow in the sequence instead of quick cuts. This sequence links to other sequences of the teen angst genre because of the text/font also because the mise en scene shows a teenage girl dressed in jeans and a jumper yet she seems a bit unusual as she'd drinking a big carton of sunny d, so this intrigues the target audience and makes them able to relate to the film.
