BRADLEY BARNES
 Today, I compared a high budget film (Carrie 2013) to a low
budget film (28 Days Later). Looking at the difference in
gross figures, production companies and target audience, from
looking at the features I was able to determine which institution
was more successful.
 From doing this I've realised why different companies have
different budgets and the affects this can cause on the film in
various ways, e.g. the actors who act in the film, the props used
and the location of scenes.
 This will enable me to include some of the details learnt today in
my film opening when it comes to make it.
 Today I analysed two still images, one from ‘You’ve Got Mail’ and
the other from ‘The Shining’.
 This task was very useful as it made us look deeper into the
images, therefore enabling us to interpret more connotations.
 From doing this task I've learnt that you shouldn't assume the
genre of the film from quickly glancing at a still image as there is
a lot more you need to take in e.g. lighting, setting, actors etc.
 Today, I produced a storyboard containing the six most important
shots, within our prelim task, which we decided would tell the
story of our romance genre for our Prelim task.
 This task helped us to plan our story-line for our prelim task,
therefore allowing us to know what shots we needed to film and
how to go about filming them.
 An aspect to improve upon this task may have been if we had
planned for some of our shots to last slightly longer, as some
scenes (especially the dialogue) went to fast, therefore it was
harder to hear the characters.
 The following is the script that we used for our Prelim task, our
aim was to keep the dialogue as minimal as possible so that it
wouldn't take the main focus away from our editing e.g.
transitions shots.
 Caitlin - I'm really sorry I'm late
 Ed - It's fine
 Caitlin - So, how have you been?
 Ed - I've been good, good ... You look great!
 This task enabled us to think about the script in order for us to
make our romance genre more effective and by us discussing the
potential lines we were going to include before filming our final
piece it made us consider the location in more depth, as we
aimed for the smart restaurant location.
 In this task we had to create a short film of a given
genre, in this case my group were given the genre
Romance. The task consisted of us opening a door,
walking into a room, sitting on a chair and
exchanging some dialogue.
 This was the first time that I had used, Premier to
edit our footage on. Therefore the process took
slightly longer, than expected.
 I believe that our first attempt of creating a short
film opening using Premier was reasonably successful
and that we can take away a lot from doing this. This
Prelim task helped us to understand each aspect of
filming more and will we learn from our mistakes and
hope to improve/remove them while
constructing/making our own film opening.
 Today, I researched into ‘The Art Of A Title’, this consisted of
looking at different film and the functions of particular titles
within the title sequence. During this task I also researched
Richard Morrison and found that he thought film openings were
successful and ‘that you could not just press delete’ as he had it
‘all planned in advance’ therefore trying to get as minimal
mistakes as possible during filming and editing.
 This task enabled me to think/consider why title sequences are
put together for effect and how they affect our interpretation
about the film, such as what genre is this film. The task also
made me consider why title sequences are successful or not and
what factors contribute into making them.
