This opening scene from train spotting gives a clear narrative and is a great way of introducing characters. Our group could use this to may be introduce the different dance styles and the characters that go with each one e.g hip hop, ballet, ballroom. all though this isnt a dance film it has relevance to how we would like to opening our film. I also like the way one character talks about there life and its ups and downs. through out this film there are many interesting shots used e.g the toliet scene. Hopefull me and my group will come up with some interesting way to grab the audiences attention.

the trailer above shows lower and mid shots which we are concidering in using for our film, this is because dancing is focused on feet mainly but also incorpirates different body parts to show the movement of dance. The use of clever editing creates a flashing effect which emphasises the differnt shots in different places.

This trailer is a perfect example of a transition to black, which me may use in our film. we like this because each time and image is shown it could be a different part of the body and is an elegantand smooth way of making the transition it can be fast and sharp to create a more explosive effect. The titles on each blak section will have our names or actors names, maybe also quotes or a line out of a peom to get the understanding about the film.

Shameless :)

In one of the lessons this week we anaylised the use of representation in the Tv series Shameless. We looked at how the characters dress and what it says about their personality and make assumptions about what kind of preson they are.

frank is dressed in a green rain mac, worn out jeans and a casualo dirty t-shirt; this can show him as a dirty man, thats unstable and is generally very uncaring about his apperance. His Hair is greasy, long and untamed agaion giving the impression that he doesnt care about what people say about him.

The sedcond character i am going to write about is Steve; Steve is dressed smart in a suit and shirt which is gives the impression that he is a waelty man another factor to support this is that he has a different cars everytime we see him; we can either take this as him being a thief or a rich man. Steves speach is posh which again focussing on the fact that he is not from the chatsworth estate.
