Analysis of a Credit Sequence

Analysis of a Credit Sequence | Amber Smales

Jet by Jordan Chesney

The screen after the sequence ends goes black and then the title of the film, Jet, appears on the screen. This is the first time that the title is shown on screen due to the sequence been a short film it is rare for the editor of the film to add in the name of the film more than once. The title of the film only stays on screen for around 6-7 seconds before disappearing. Although the title of the film is only on screen for an extremely short amount of time it will leave a lasting impact on the audience. The title then fades to black and leaves the screen black for a few seconds before the next titles are shown.

The next title shown is who the film is written, directed and edited by. This credits the person that made the film individually rather than putting them on the same screen as the cast.

An important piece of the credit sequence is listing the names of the cast members and crew. This credits everyone that its in the film and that has also worked behind the scenes in order to create the film. As this is a short film the credit sequence is significantly shorter than what a big budget film's credit sequence would be like as there are many people that work behind the scenes as well as acting in the film therefore, the credit sequence is much longer for a long length feature film.

The audience knows how Walter schemes to get Bruce in trouble but in the film Bruce is unaware of Walter's actions. Restricted Narration A restricted narration limits the amount of information that the audience receives. The audience will only receive information through the narration of a single character. This biases the audience towards on...

Settings of a Romantic-Comedy | Amber Smales

Settings The location in which a Romantic-Comedy is filmed often depends who the film is aimed at. If the film is a teen rom-com then the typical locations are: High School University A party These films tend to be filmed in these specific locations as teens can often relate to the characters struggles as well as the types of characters in high schools. As this particular genre of film doesn't stray from reality the locations of teen rom-coms suit the genre. However, Romantic-Comedies that are aimed towards over 18 year old tend to be filmed in cities such as London, New York or Paris. Paris and New York are extremely common locations for rom-com films as they are seen as cities in which love blooms. These cities are extremely well known, fast faced and these locations allow the directors to show the daily life of a character as well as show the audience a more believable perspective of characters.
