Production log 4 & 5

I have learnt quite a bit about titles. I've learnt when they appear and what order they should typically be in. I have analysed the 'Skyfall' opening sequence to see the order of the credits. On top of this i haven't just learnt the order; i have also learnt what they do. I have learnt the actual role of directors, producers, D.O.P and much more.
 This will impact my work as it has let me know what people not to include, such as visual effects supervisor. This will take away the realism of the film and i only have to include the conventional credits that appear only in BSR films. I also know whose names appear where and when.

Production Log 5

Skyfall

We had to do multiple amounts of work over the half term including opening credits analysis, fish tank case study and a sound analysis of a BSR film, for which i chose Adulthood. Doing all this work is actually quite simple for me as media is my main subject. I make sure my work is done at a good standard. Doing the fish tank case study was probably the longest piece of work i have ever done but this was the piece of work i enjoyed the most and i found it quite simple because it involved analysing a whole film which was pretty fun. As well as that i enjoyed the analysing of the opening credits of a film. The film i chose to analyse was Skyfall. Even though the opening sequence was longer than normal i didn't mind watching it over and over again because the film is actually a really good one. I found the sound analysis quite hard as there is a limit of what you can write  about sound without repeating yourself.

To overcome these issues i had to keep reading over my work and even though at some parts i did repeat myself i had to make sure i didn't do it over and over. The issue i had with doing the opening credits analysis was that i had to fit all the credits onto one A3 piece of paper which i thought would be big enough. It was just about enough as the Skyfall opening consisted of a lot of names. I had to manage my space wisely on this sheet of paper. The only issue i had with the Fish Tank case study was finding the scene that i had in mind. This was due to not knowing the time code of the scene so i had to guess where it was from memory. This was overcome via trial and error by clicking on a random part of the timeline and hoping my scene would be there. This was not a major issue though.
