(Spooks, 2002)
I watched the opening of this TV series. The genre of it was
spy. First you have the build-up of what has previously happened. Then comes the opening sequence. The whole opening sequence seems really modern and computer generated. The colour tone of the opening sequence contains generally blue and grey colours which makes the opening look cold and stark. It looks very realistic, in contrast to the opening of Pacific Rim that I have analysed in the last production log. Also, as you can see in the picture I have above, the font makes the whole opening look very modern, almost like CGI and the brackets add on to the affect. After the opening, the first
scene was when a person woke up by the phone. Then you see a lot of quick cuts
of people speaking on the phone simultaneously, which shows us it is a busy
world and creates tension. After that the audience can see there's a man sitting on an arm chair, listening to music and looking very nervous and sad. Suddenly, people break into his house through the windows wearing black costumes and holding guns. This is what makes the genre spy, since there are a lot of action shots (breaking in the windows) and the mise-en-scene which includes guns, helicopters also black costumes.
Planning: The Brief
I am working in a group of 3. The other members of my group
are Sisi and Bertie. We have chosen Brief 7 (video). The opening sequence from
a new film, including titles, in any genre or mix of genres such as a comedy or
thriller together with a storyboard. Maximum length: 3 minutes.
Ok as far as it goes but a level 4 answer will give more precise detail, just as we modeled it in class: colour, mise-en-scene, font types, CGI and so on.
