plan for our own opening film sequence

• title - St Thorntons High :)
• aim of sequence - to comfort people about their sexuality and educate others about lesbians
• length - 20-30 seconds
• content - characters showing their personality, location, 
• edit/cuts - similar to skins with fast cuts but a bit slower and actual footage not images.
• text/typeface - sans serif, bold type face, feminine font, 
• sound - non-diegetic, fast music, but changes slightly for different characters to show their moods/personalities.

Analysis of a film poster.

Finding Nemo! :)

The genre of this film is a children's/kids film.   The genre conventions referred to are fish and animation.   The conventions of the form are quite conventional because it has the release dates the same of the film, but doesn't have names of the actors.  The mise-en-scene is very bright and colourful which attracts the kids attention and will make them want to go and watch the film, also by the release date it has a pun where it says 'Sea it in theaters. May 30'.  The symbols used in the poster that it has a fish instead of the middle circle in the O and all the font and pictures are based around fish or disney pixar, but the audience dont really need to decode the symbols because they're quite obvious.  The main figures in the poster are the 2 main characters and one of the big characters in the film, and are based in the film of the sea.  The layout of the poster affects its message alot, because its very clear and easy to read and attracts peoples attention.  The designer has chosen to use this particular typeface because the whole poster is based around fish and the sea, and the writing really stands out by the blue background.  The visual camera effects that the writer/ designer has decided to use is a wide shot because it has alot of the shark in the shot.   The messages in the poster are mainly visual because there isnt much text.    The audience intended is children and maybe some teens and maybe some people that are interested in animation or pixar films.   The persuasive techniques used in the film poster are things like bright blue colours and fish that stand out.   The unique selling point is the sharks relationship with the fish and where it says 'From the creators of Monsters Inc'.   The expert witnesses aren't quoted. 

Podcast - Audio

I made a podcast from an audio clip of 2 people talking about ideas for a film, and things to do with films. I added jingles and many different types of sounds to make the podcast catchy and catch people's attention. I added lots of different jingles and 'stingers' at the very start of my podcast to make it more exciting. I also added 2 sounds called "pendulum" and "chelsea loft" as quiet background noise, so that when the talking started the podcast wouldn't sound boring.

One of the skills i learnt in Garageband was how to crop and cut little things out of an audio clip and keep the certain part of the audio i wanted. This helped as during the actual recording of the 2 people talking there are lots of annoying awkward silences, but also lots of unnecessary talking that didn't need to be in my podcast. This made my podcast sound more interesting and seem more professional.

Another skill I learnt making my podcast was changing the volume of sounds and different jingles in the duration of the podcast. This makes my podcast sound more interesting and let me make certain parts of each jingle and sound louder or quieter to emphasise that certain part of the sound.

Overall i learnt many useful skills in Garageband which helped me improve my audio podcast.
