Extended deadline for Research Task!

Your first deadline for "Research work for Thriller Opening sequences" has been extended to Monday 8th Feb.

Read my previous posting to check what it is that you have to do and HOW.

Now that you have completed all the introductory work on narrative, you can also apply these terms, as well as all the others that you have learnt, in your write ups of opening sequences.

How do the various aspects of film language work to communicate meaning? Sound, Mise en scene, editing, camerawork.

Explain why you think the narrative begins as it does (does it conform to the classic structure, or not, and why?).

What is the effect on the spectator/member of audience?

What examples of enigma code, restricted/unrestricted narration, and binary opposition do you find? Can you explain the effects of each? Can you find examples of Subjective camerawork?

How effective as a thriller opening do you find it? Are there any techniques you would like to use in your own opening?
