Why it is good to used Text at the start of the film
Its good to use text in the opening of the two minutes of a film because it
makes it more effective and gives more information about the film so the
audeince can feel like they know the film and who made and produced it. It gives
a sense of engagement and involvment within the film.
-By showing the cast and the characters makes it more interesting and so that people know whoes going to be included in the film. For instance, if people liked an actor or an actress whoes involed in the film it shall make them more intreseted and it shall make the film more popular. Which would be good for the film producer and the money towards the film and the filming industry.
-By saying whoes the music producer, the editing producer and who made the film gives it more input as it shows that not just one person has made the film but more than one has been involed in making the film which shows that it was hard work and you had to do more than one thing to make the film good. By using text just gives it that little bit extra and makes it more effective and goes well with the film itself.

Horror movie (Opening 2 mins Ideas)
For the opening two minutes of our horror film. We have chosen for the beginning
of the scene is the main character- Emma. Walking down a path with wet hair to
give the impression that she's vulnerable, alone and innocent. I shall be
wearing basic casual wear which contradicts the look of my wet hair and gives
the sense of foreboding, Bryony as the camera person shall use effects to scare
the audeince and to make it more tense- shaking the camera, long shots and close
up shots.
-Example of a long shot.
-Example of close up shots.
-The reason why we've chosen to use there shot types is because we want to get more of an effect towards the audience and we want them to enagage with the horror film and to feel involved so they feel tense and there anxiety builds up.
-We won't just be using long shots and close ups shots, we shall also be using extreme close ups, and camera shots which link with whats going on with the scene at the time.
-For the opening two minutes we won't be using that many shot types as its only for two minutes and if we did use more it shall just make the opening two minutes look like a mess and that it hasnt been oragnised properly which won't look professional. Which isn't a good for the opening two minutes.
-The scene is set at night down a path which runs through the woods to a clearing bridge over a river. By using this setting for the opening two minutes shall already give an impression on the audeince about what the film is going to be about and whats going to be involved which shall make the audeince question it which makes them more engaged and involved with the horror film.
-As the camera follows me - Emma whilst im walking down the path till i reach the bridge over the river.
-We use jump cuts of the camera getting closer and closer to me and through this all we are going to see is the back of my head. By doing this and not showing my face shall make the audience want to see my face and it shall make the audince question the facial expressions and the look on my face.
-Once on the bridge i shall look down at the water as if im going to jump. The camera shall pan to the side slighty keeping me in the shot to show the black figure behind me in the woods. Then the camera cuts to the view of me from the perspective of the figure concealsed in the darkness and approaches me until directly behind me as we can hear the heavy rugged breathing.
-I spin around and scream and the screen goes black. When we see my face it shall be made to look pale and i have black rings around my eyes, when i scream we distort my face for the added effect which is always good for a horror film as they are usually effective.
-The next scene shows James and Jordan as we don't see Jordan's face in the first scene we can use him as a different character watching the news report the next day. The reporter shall reveal the disappearance of a teenage girl which i me. Which makes the 1,2,3,4 and 5 year anniversary to the day of the disappearances in the same place. This makes it more of a mysterious and the person has got a way with it which makes it more scary for the audeince and makes it more tense towards the audeince.

Tuesday 21st October - Reseach on Opening 2 Minutes
In the lesson on the 21st of October, we were looking at and planning our ideads for our first opening 2 minutes of our movie.
Our group (Emma, Bryony, Jordan and I) decides that we are going to do a horror, as we can find good ideas for the opening 2 minutes, we decides to watch a couple of trailers and a couple of opening scenes to give up some ideas about what we could do, we looked at the opening scene of Dawn of the dead (Which is a zombie apocalypse) and that wasnt really the one for us. We also watched

Audience Profiling - The Ring
-From this comparable profile of the ring i can infer that the age range of
15-24 has a higher percentage of watching the ring than the other age
generation. From the table i can infer that more female watch the ring with a
percentage of 54% and the percentage of male is 46%. The percenatge of class
range from 16-45% which is a difference. The largest percentage of viewers come
from the middle upper class. This shows and infers that the main audeince that
watch this film range from 15-24year olds which are females and are the middle
upper class this is because its a gorry film and it shows that the older
generation dont like gorry films.The reason why more females watch this is
because they relate to whats going on in the film and using a child appeals to a
matunral instinct.

Step Brothers - Comedy
Step Brothers is a 2008 comedy film starring Will Ferrell and
John C Reilly. The plot of Step Brothers is two middle aged men that still live with
their parents at home, Will Ferrel (Brennen) with him mother, and John C Reilly (Dale) with his father. Their parents meet and
fall in love at the surprise of their very similar lifestyles. Both of the sons are
forced to live together and the conflict between them at the start is very negative, just like in real life (When siblings fight), which relates to the maturity levels of the individuals. Their
parents warn them that they must find jobs within a month or else be
forced out of the house. When Brennan's younger brother Derek (Adam
Scott) comes to visit with his oddly perfect family, he too mocks them
and leads Dale to punch him in the face. Brennan is awed that Dale was
able to stand up to Derek. Meanwhile, Brennan's sister-in-law Alice
(Kathryn Hahn) who is also resentful of Derek, finds Dale's courage a
turn on. Brennan and Dale discover their many shared interests and
develop a strong personal bond.
The attempts at the job are poor from both Brennen and Dale, showing that they are lazy and that they dont care about finding a job, and they find themselves only disrupupting the relationship of Nancy and Robert (Parents) which results to a divorce. Once this has happened both sons get a job and move on with their lives, Brennen goes and works for his brother Derek, and Dale becomes a chef.
They then meet again at a festival hosted by Brennen as his new job, and the food is cooked by Dale which links the whole family back together as they both invite each of their parents making Nancy and Robert force conversation. The family is then restored through a musical performance from both Dale and Brennen as the band previously set up were forced to leave.
The film contains a lot of mixed humour which many different people can relate and connect to, even the fact that both 40 year old Dale and 39 year old Brennen still live at home with their parents immediately adds a humourous background and start to the film.
Overall I think that this film is a humourous and very enjoyable film, as sometimes it can relate to things in life, this makes it funnier and more relatible to the viewers.
