RESEARCH: THE ART OF THE TITLE- LES BLEUS DE RAMVILLE (2012)

Les Blues De Ramville is a sport and action film. The genre is shown by the sports equipment and surrounding of the ice hockey rink.

The Production Companies where shown at the end of the title sequence, i think this was done as the audience focuses more on the title sequence than the credits. I might use that in my title sequence as it is a useful piece of editing.

The Mise-En-Scene is used very effectively such as hockey masks and pucks. This conveys what the film is about and the audience can see the importance that hockey will have. Also the music starts to increase as we see items like skates which emphasises the build up of the hockey match.

The editing in this title sequence is brilliant, there is the use of lots of different camera shots and angles such as pans and zooms. There is also slow motion is used when a player gets hit into the wall, this makes it more effective because it emphasises the impact of the player getting hit into the wall. The editing is something that is inspiring and i hope to reach a fragment of that level in my film opening.

In the title sequence the music is linked with the editing, this makes the audience more involved in the movie and makes it seem more real. I really like this edit and i will use it in my title sequence because i appreciate it when used in this title sequence.

RESEACH: ANALYSIS OF THE OPENING OF NOWHERE BOY

At the beginning of Nowhere Boy the production company is clearly shown by the logos and icons. Firstly "Icon", followed by "Film Four", then information that "The National Lottery" funding was delivered from the UK Film Council. There are co-productions that spread the finance, "Northwest Vision and Media", "Lip Sync Productions", "Hanaway Films" and "Ecosse Films Production". 

The director is announced by the titles "A Sam Taylor-Wood film". The title of the film is finally shown by having the biggest text so far, centre screen, "Nowhere Boy". We have been hinted to the name of the film by the exchange between John Lennon and the Headmaster where he says "Your going nowhere".

The establishing shot shows a grand, imposing, classical building which contrasts with the boy scampering through the big pillars.The shot conveys how small the young boy is compared to the building as it is a low angle shot. However, the boy seems unfazed by the big building which is symbolic as he is very rebellous. The shot quickly and sharply cuts to a birds eye shot where the young boy just fell into bed, the high angle shot creates the representation of the boy as vulnerable. Also we can see the time period as he is wearing traditional pyjamas.

This sequence works as a film opening in that it sets up conflict between the two central characters: the boy (John Lennon) and his guardian (Aunt Mimi). This is essential in hooking the audience's interest.

The next scene conveys a different relationship between John and his other guardian (Uncle George), there more playful and loving which is shown by a two shot where the hug each other. This conveys the family dynamics of the main characters clear to the audience.


There is classic rock n' roll music(1950) in the background to convey the time period more clearly to the audience. There are specific lyrics in the song that foreshadow how the main character (John Lennon) will act. For example "I'm a real wild one".
