Point of view
The Departure' is a student made, 2 minute, opening sequence, created for media coursework. The Departure made use of the enigma code (Barthes theory) to grab our attention and to 'hook' us from start to finish. Even though no dialogue was produced, the narrative was still clear and therefore made the thriller genre obvious. During the opening sequence, there was volume increase which let us know when the 'scarier' moments were coming and we believed this technique was very effective.
About Us
- Tarantino Tigers 2009
- Hey There, we are year 12 media students from Capital City Academy, who form a group called the 'Tarantino Tigers'. on the left is an image of our media group (from the left Marwa,Enes,Gehan and Viran) We will be keeping a blog to show our progress with the course and use it as an update to display how we are getting on. We will also present the pre production, production and post production of our project which is to create a two minute opening sequence of a film. We chose as a group that we will use a sub genre of horror, called slasher. We were very interested in this genre as it holds many key conventions and we thought it would be motivating to experiment with the genre's key concepts.
