Tools Required for Textual Analysis


As follows is the basic equipment required to analylise an opening sequence of a film:

DVD or VHS to watch a film on a television.

Pen and paper to note down and identify various techniques the director has used.

Finally, laptop or computer to put my notes into a understandable and instresting paragraph to post on my blog.



When analysing the opening sequences of films I will be focusing on the following production techniques:


Camera Angles - how they were used, the effects, what they helped portray



Editing - was it invisible or made visible



Special effects



Sound - digetic or non- digetic, soundtrack



Representations - how are the characters being portrayed



Mise en scene



Verisimilitude



Movement



Pacing
