(STINCS) Title sequence analysis

Setting- Through the title sequence you can see the show is set in modern times, since there are silhouettes of modern cars, helicopters and guns. The style is similar Saul Bass, since there is a lot of silhouetted people and objects in the sequence.

Theme- The mood shows that it is a lighthearted action comedy show, you can tell this by the music playing in the background, how it is not depressing or serious, but is very up-beat and cheerful. From what the silhouetted man is doing, you can also tell it is not serious, since it starts off, by coming out of a mans nose.

Iconography- The costume shown at the start of the sequence reveals the main character and shows you what type of job he has, he is wearing a white shirt with a tie and name badge with a bunch of pens in his pocket. This costume is usually used for working in a shop as people would need to know your name. The guns used in the sequence help shows that it is action, the other props used such as binoculars and a helicopter, it shows that the show is about spies. At the end of it you see a laptop which could be significant since it will be the last thing you see. Also a laptop can be used for hacking which is needed in a spy mission.

Narrative- The story of the show is about someone who gets lots of information stuck in his head by accidentally watching something he shouldn't have, then gets forced to join a spy organisation, since he is the only one who has the information.

Characters- In the title sequence, you can see what the main character looks like by the picture it shows on his name tag, the attire he is wearing shows the kind of job he has, meaning that he is not a well paid man. The way he dresses could also show that he can been seen as a nerd. Throughout the title sequence you can only see the other characters faces, but with what else happens shows what kind of personality they have. When the woman's face comes up the screen turns red to resemble blood, this could show that she is a very violent person. Also at another point when the binoculars go on a man you see a helicopter in a a background which could show that he very destructive.

Style- The style of the title sequence, shows that the show is about spies, you can tell this by what is being shown on screen, for instance a gun and you see through its barrel, which is a rip-off of James Bond. The other things seen is a small car which is used for people to go out and help people with there problems.

Media lesson: Sound

In our media lesson, we looked out different ways sound is used to create different effects, in the lesson we were given video cameras to go around school and try to create different sounds which would usually be heard or used in a horror movie.

We used things such as puddles, a coin scratching, using objects to move along a radiator to make a weird sound that could represent the sound of something growling or making a noise to scare someone.

Analysis of Public Enemies

Title Sequence for Public Enemies from Preston Schulz on Vimeo.

The title sequence for the film Public Enemies starts of with silhouetted lines moving around the screen, they move into different positions creating different a road, it then keeps of changing into different objects, such as: a gun, another road from the bullets, then into a background, etc. The title sequence created is very similar to the style of Saul Bass, they use silhouetted lines to create different objects to tell the viewer what the film is about.

The title sequence starts with two parallel lines creating a road and showing cars drive down it, the type of cars that you see, helps you tell when the film is based, which is 1933-34. Throughout the sequence there are different types of guns and a lots of bullets flying around, this helps us know the genre of the film, which is a crime drama film. Also due to year of the film it helps us know what the film is about, as gangsters used to live around this time.

The music used  in the background is jazz, which was popular around the time of gangsters. The music helps create an atmosphere for what the film is going to be about, it makes it very obvious it's about gangsters, since it has jazz, guns and 1933 vehicles.
