Film opening timeline and 9 frames

 The exam board like to see your film opening broken down into 9 frames. To deonstrate your understanding of the opening credits, you need to break down at least 2 film openings into the 9 key frames. Almost like a storyboard.

This is the example we looked at in class for Juno.




To demonstrate your understanding of how film openings are technically construced, a timeline can be a useful way of breaking down the structure. Again, do this with 2 exisiting films to develop understanding of how film openings work, timing wise and to develop understanding of their construction.

Here is the example from the Juno opening we watched in class. 




Homework:
On your blog, create a timeline and 9 frames for 2 more films that you have already analysed.
Comment what you learn from this activity and how it will help you when creating your own film opening
