Types of title sequences

I prefer discrete title sequence for example the great expectations title sequence.

inital idea(Q.21)

We’ve decided to do a youth drama about a teenage girl that gets murdered by a man she meets online. A young adult, around 20, will catfish the girl and act like a young boy that is her age. Although her friends convince her to stop talking to him, she doesn’t listen and claims she is in ‘love’. He will then arrange to meet up with her and kidnap her then murder her.

Cast:

Zahra -  the girl that gets murdered (Sarah)

Dilem – Sarah’s friend (Dianne)

Malachi – Man that murders Sarah

Ernistina – Parent

Some of the places we have decided to film are:

Graveyard

Bedroom

School

Public place (shopping city)

A social group included is a group of teenage girls, ‘popular’ girls.

The man is a lonely man that lives alone without any family or friends.

High school movie Analysis

High school movie analysis of my choice is: High School Musical 2!

Camera: Close-up shots - expressions and emotions of the high school students, very frequent throughout the movie as they are very dramatic and express a lot of emotions, Long shots - show the scenery and environment, also show the clothes they're wearing to give some background on what the movie is likely to be about, mid-shots - show the body language of the teens, Shot/reverse shot - the conversing between the high schoolers. 

Editing: Jump-cuts - show the events happening in different locations and the thoughts, emotions, feelings the teens are having, Ellipsis, flashing lights - showing how fancy and cool the teens are in a more "upper class" high school.

Sound: Even more musical style with soundtracks from different genres (Jazz, ballet, contemporary, hip-hop, pop) live musical instruments to add to the musical theme.

M.E.S: cell-phones, sports outfits (cheer leading pom poms, soccer gear), cafeteria, lunch tables, bedrooms, city life, busy people, more casual dress sense, high school musical 2 has a much more mature concept with a lot more couples.

Sub-genre conventions - Analysis of camera, editing, sound, and M.E.S in High School and Youth Drama

Analysis of Kidulthood

Camera: Close-up shots - convey emotion of character and give clearer understanding for the viewer, Longshot - Show the scene and environment the youth are living in (not very nice), also shows the clothes they wear so the viewer can understand the social context and gain a sense of the story, Medium shot - Shows the body language of the youth and also their expressions, Shot/reverse shot - display the conversation between two speakers.

Editing: Jump cuts - to show the events happening at different periods of time at different locations, links the story together, Ellipsis, Slow motion - slowing down of time shows the mental breakdown the youth is having and the struggle.

Sound: a lot of urban soundtracks being played to go with the urban story line, sound of people conversing, a lot of shouting, strong language, sexual noises throughout, weapon sounds (bats, guns, knives).

M.E.S: mobile-phones, weapons (knives,bats,guns), alcohol, drugs, clothing (very urban in the "ends" but more sophisticated in the city), blocks of flats, messy cluttered bedrooms, fancy/middle-class cars show that lower-class (which is a lot of the people in that environment) cannot afford cars.

Sound: A lot of musical style music and soundtracks, ranging from up-beat and fast tempos to slow, more subtle ballads, conversing, shouting, musical instruments (bands).

M.E.S: cell-phones, sports outfits (cheerleading pom poms, soccer gear), cafeteria, lunch tables, bedrooms, city life, busy people, more casual dress sense.

Actors and actresses
Casting

     =On moving images
     =On black background

The movie is produced by Bob Cooper and Michael Birnbaum. This is an example of a mainstream film.
In the opening of the film main characters are introduced and it is explained how the main character has moved new to the town.
The characters introduced in the opening include:
Kate-the main girl
John Tucker
Kate's mother
Through the film we watch Kate help 3 of John Tucker's exes to try and 'defeat' John Tucker. They do this by trying to break his heart, bu the plan backfires when she starts having feelings for him, and John Tucker's brother realizes what she is trying to do.
There are lots of stereotypes such as the cheerleaders, the jocks, the smart girls etc. They all start pout in opposition but by the end of the film they all come together.
In this film the main adult in the film ( Kate's mother) acts as a caring role giving advice.
We see lots of group shots but see lots of close ups to show emotion especially after a dramatic scene.
We have lots of non diagetic music to set the tone and portray the characters feelings and emotions, this is very effective.
Diagetic sounds include talking (in american accents) and just noise from surroundings e.g footsteps etc.
There is quite bright lighting throughout the film as it is set in a school. This also suggest it is a romance due to the bright lighting opposed to darker lighting which could be the lighting of a horror. 
The key locations are the school and Kate's house.
