Presenting an analysis of a film opening

Having watched the opening to Edward Scissorhands, with its analysis on, you are to choose from one of the other films available in the NASBOX (Folder titled AS Movie Openings).

Using one method of analysis discussed (but NOT straight forward essay), you are to analyse the opening of the film in detail. Commenting on use of colour, images, sounds, text, style, conventions of film opening, credits, camera angles/shots types, how the film narrative and genre are established in the first 5 minutes.

Methods you could use:
- Notes/captions added to the film using movie maker (or other editing package)
- Spoken analysis of the opening using the actual opening to illustrate your points.
- Screen shots/prints with detailed comments for each one
- PPT/prezi presentation

Edward Scissorhands example from class:



This is due to be assessed by Mrs Sim on the 7th October, so make sure the work is uploaded to your blog for then.
