Production Log 6

This week I have learnt that opening sequence devices range from various thing to make up the actual opening sequence, it requires creativity of the different conventions to be able to make the opening sequence memorable, and also it has to set locations and primary characters while also having incorporated everything from credits to being able to give the audience a clear idea of what the film is all about without revealing too much from the get go.I have also learnt that camera language is a major part of any BSR film seeing as the way the camera is handled reflects the genre. For example if shots are too perfect then it doesn't illustrate the genre, the shaky and amateurish feel to a shot connotes the act of emulating real life situations.

I think this will impact greatly on my production because it will make me think of the most effective but creative way to putting together all the ingredients the opening sequence needs.It has shown me how to incorporate all the conventions to make it more like a BSR film than a varnished production which has no real connection to the real everyday world.

I think I will use techniques such as finding ways to incorporate credits into the actual scene itself rather than very basically doing so  and just having it on screen also conventions from editing, camera language and mise en scene all have to represent something of the BSR genre.
