The first student film: psyche
The use of editing within this shot shows connotations of disorder as the public are seen to be walking backwards. This also establishes to the audience themes that could be later developed within the rest of the film.
The use of mise-en-scene shows connotations of darkness and suggest a deeper meaning to many things, for example, the roof has been given a lot of screen time, which shows connotations of importance which could be explored later on within the film.
The typography within the student film can show connotations of a clinical subject, for example the use of black text on a white background could possibly be seen as sterile.
Student film number two: Rural Superheros
produced by 'Gemini productions' and ' poultry pictures'
The use of camera, and to choose a pan, works well within the opening as it reveals the characters, and allows the audience to understand and establish the setting of the film. Also the use of non-diegetic soundtrack sets the atmosphere of the film to be light hearted, for example, the track with light and 'floaty' therefore showing connotations of a genre to be lighter than that of a horror
The use of typography fits that of genre, and also establishes to audience members who the character is played by, therefore allowing the audience to have that information clearly.
The typography Can be seen to have connotations of a comedic nature, for example the use of colour is different to the other sub titles, therefore drawing attention, and also seems to have an effect placed on the title (eg, a glow) therefore showing audience that the title has importance, and should be looked at. Also the use of having the title on a black screen also brings it to the centre of attention to audience members, from a cinematic point of view.
Student film number three: The edge
This student film uses their typography to be embedded into the footage itself, for example the first title appears to be attached to the building.
The typography also shows a modern, virtual look, therefore showing connotations of youth and morse day setting, which can then establish to the Audience where the film is likely to be set.
The use of camera and the extreme close up shows connotations of the the young male protagonist to be of high importance within the film opening, and therefore having more screen time than the slightly older male antagonists seen later on within the film opening
Again the use of camera changes from eye to eye, for example for one shot, ie, the shot above, we are seen to be shown. The narrative from the audience point of view, and another shot, Ie, the shot below shows the narrative from the characters point of view, therefore giving audience members the chance to establish the narrative from different perspectives, and therefore engaging them fully within the media product.
