11/12/09 - lesson review

In this lesson we looked at different openings that would be similar to our own. one clip we looked at was the opening sequence to Hannibal.





We found this sequence useful as it related to our own. this is because it mixed the difference between mental and sane. From this i like the idea of having the titles apear on a black background(from 0:50 seconds) slowly as it shows it creates tenison. Also even though it has an opening scene before the title sequence (which we are not doing) there is still classical music which is carried throughout even in the title sequence. Also i do like the idea of having classical music as it has complete contrast to the images from 03:12. This contrast would reflect our idea of the contrast between our characters personality. Not only this but as a viewer i feel it adds a scary feel. Also this clip is simular to our aim as we wanted to have different types of disordentation and has tought me that in one way we can do this or to enhance this is to include black and white images in too. In addition from this clip where it is very disorientated like what we want to achieve in our own film it was shown us how we can achieve this in different ways such as having fuzzing pictures and only part of a shot. For example instead of having the whole building in the shot they only focuss on part of it. another thing what i have learnt from this clip is how simple fonts of writing even though simple stands out and creates a serious tone to the film. The only thing that would make this clip not useful in our research would be the opening scene at the beginning as we are not doing this for our project.
