Film Openings

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JXq9ZL6kcD8

Obviously with Sex in the City it has frontloading in that it is already a popular television programme. This will make its target audience want to continue watching. As for men, after the snipet of nudity they would want to continue watching, both to make their missus happy and to catch more glimpses of nudity.

The main chatracters seem headstrong and tough in a mans world, getting nearly every female wanting to watch the rest of the film. The Funky jazzy non-diegetic sound leads the viewer to believe that this may be a fun film to watch and it sets up an atmosphere for the rest of the film.

In terms of editing everything seems very 'montagey' and modern.

Magazine Covers

A feature that they all have in common, and what should be pretty standard for music magazines, is that they have the picture of a musician or band, or musicians etc... The titlsw are in big bold writing and stand out to the reader. They all tend to include technical shiz like, screamers and teazers.
On the covers of mix mag and Q have long shots showing the whole body of the artists involve, i feel this brings more energy to the magazine and portrays music far more acurately. Obviously a big and bold heading would be used to catch the reader and it would nearly be covered in screamers to catch the attention of the audience.

AS Media Studies Coursework

I feel like doing a video as the focus of my coursework as i feel confident in using all the equipment and have a strong understanding of the techniques used to make a film- continuity, match on action etc...
I enjoy telling stories and creating effect for my audience depending on what genre it is. As seen in previous productions im good at planning and love the challenges provided and the commradery achieved when working in a group.
