How exited i got

Group 28 research…

I have looked at set 6, group 28 title sequence and film opening and I was immediately intrigued by the different amount of camera angles and match cuts, not only did they use the basics but they managed to add the use of miss en scene throughout their posts. They often did a high angle shot, which gave the impression that the main character was small and inferior which ties in well with the genre of horror. I was generally fascinated by how they paid attention to the little details like a house colour theme, which gives the audience a sense of suspense as well as a sense of hostility. In addition this gives the audience an advantage, as they’re able to track down what genre it is. Further more, the addition of a timer at the bottom of the screen creates a cold atmosphere. They often had dull colours to associate with the genre of horror, which shows how they aimed to focus on the codes and conventions. I would like my group to take this into consideration and hopefully create one, just as great. I generally agree with how amazing this title sequence is and would favor it as it managed to agree with the media criteria and therefore I’m not surprised it got an amazing score.

Jada's posts…

I managed to take a look at everyone’s posts but the one that caught my attention was Jada’s. She not only managed to post 94 blogs but each was incredibly detailed. She used various ICT apps like Emaze, which made her posts look very organized and easy to navigate through. In addition it’s extremely pleasant to look at as she uses aftereffects to change the appearance of certain clips. Perhaps the purpose of this was to make clips that weren’t in focus, to be visually clearer but still managing to make the lightning dull to fit in the codes and conventions of a typical horror film.

Overall I really liked the layout of the blog as there was a lot of black which connoted evilness and potentially death. The fact that red was also involved demonstrated danger and blood. So the use of dull colours like purples and blues gives a sense of a cold and tense atmosphere to the viewer which is potentially what they would want to come across as hence why they would have gotten a pretty high mark.
