Research Task Breakdown

For this new part of the course I will be required to research 5 Openings for films in the genre I will be using for my final project. The purpose of which is to allow me to see from a professional stand point how the genre is usually tackled and what special traits those who create them place in them.

In order to do this there are a number of things that I must do, Firstly, I am going to have to collaborate with my work partner on the genre of choice to make sure were both in agreement as to what road we want to take with this.

Secondly, I will need to come up with a list of films that have been successful in conveying the nature of the chosen genre.

Next, I will acquire the footage, either through YouTube or Vimeo, Failing that I will resort to screen shot breakdown but I think that it is highly likely the openings can be tracked down.

Having done this I can begin to look at these openings in detail, Picking out interesting features, Common connections in the dialogue, similar compositions and timings. Even outside the film itself, I can look at the company and its track record for this genre which will make my final projects evaluation slightly easier to create.

 To physically do this I will be creating a lengthy post on each one with an additional post at the end to allow contrast and similarity analysis as a whole. Where possible I will try to include alternate media outlets as they are much more interesting.
