Nine Frame Analysis (Georgia Skipper)

In the first screen shot they show the 20^th Century Fox logo to show the producers and the company which created it, it allows the audience to know the creators and make a judgement based on the name and their persona views from other films from the same company. We will be using our own logo for ‘CrazyFace productions” for the same reason, we feel it makes the credits titles look professional and real.

The second credit shows one of the smaller companies that creates films, it shows which subsection the film was created by and acts as a kind of aid for what the film is going to be like. We will not be using this in our film as we fear it might take up to much of our time and we will not be able to use much of our own filming.

 

 

  The first credit too show is the name of the star, Liam Neeson, this is as it is his most iconic role and has his own fandom, when Liam Neesons name appears, people automatically think of taken, so by having is name before any other title, shows how the company want to show Neeson as the main star and as the importance of the film. The white name on a black background display simplicity which contrasts to the film, however, alternatively shows the lack of knowledge Neeson has within the film. We will be using the simplistic colours as we feel it makes the audience feel vulnerable through their lack of understanding of what the film is about, however we do not want to make the main actor the importance of the film, therefore we will not be using their name first.

The title of the film is written in the same font and colour at the same size, giving it no more importance than the rest of the credits, however due to its placement we know it’s important. In addition to this, I feel they decided to use fluency within their credits to imitate the fluency of Neesons actions.

During the title sequence there begins to be very quick and blurred scenes of suspicious looking activities which give the audience an idea about what they are about to watch, the use of drained colour and the use of sepia add a slight twist on the act, creating a feel of distortion, this displays to the audience that the goings on we are witnessing are criminal. We will be using the quick scenes and drained colour as we feel it creates the atmosphere we need and shows that it is either a dream/flashback/criminal and in terms for our films is all three, we feel the quick scenes interrupted by credits make the audience feel uneasy as they are only seeing parts of the crime, leaving them unaware of the characters safety and/or anything else.

 The short scenes we are shown do not give anything away, apart from location and time, this makes it unclear to the audience and makes them feel uncomfortable. We will be using this to ensure that we don’t give away our whole film in the two minute opening. We want our opening to show conflict without showing who, what and why, we want it to be unclear of what has happened and to slightly confuse the audience making them want to watch out whole film.

   The interruption from credits, breaks the audiences concentration and focus, this may cause the audience frustration as they may have been intrigued and been trying to work out the relevance of what they were being shown, we will also be using interrupting titles as we believe it breaks the tensions, giving us a chance to eject a variety of emotions into the audience.

 

The titles re-lapse into the black and white simplicity, expressing the secrecy of the action within this film. The use of simple colours and fonts within our title sequence will be fluent.

The use of using this display shot is to display conflict, they use framing within a frame, this is where the two characters highlight the dangerous weaponry between them as they are both shown in dark colours and the light background contrast to the dark metallic gun framed within the two darker silhouette, this expressed danger and conflict, we will be using the display shots to show violence, however we will not be displaying weapons.
