Production Log Week 5

This last week we have been analyzing institutions and identifying the difference between production, exhibition and distributing. Specifically we looked at the Film 4 production company, and we looked at its parent company being Channel 4. We was given an assignment to create a commission factfile based on Film 4, and stated many aspects of the company 'Film 4' such as; Ethos, where the company is based, etc. Also this week we looked at news stories and identified BSR themes within them and related them back to how we could include these story lines in our own BSR opening sequence. We were looking at conventions of an opening scene, including; not too much dialogue as it will give away too much, good editing and camera techniques,, appropriate techniques and effective mise en scene. For one of our blog posts we had to attain screen grabs from the first half an hour of a film, and describe the editing and camera techniques used, we did this so we can use these aspects in our own opening scene. Another thing i am looking to include in my own opening sequence will be to intrigue my audience, this is known as 'emigma', this is where the opening scene gets the viewers asking questions. I am most definelty going to include an appropriate amount of varied editing techniques and also camera shots, to achieve the maximum effect for the viewers, and get the effect of realism.
