  20Th Century Fox: The large structure suggests it's a large global comapny whcih makes good quality movies. The quality is emphaisised with the lights shinning on the logo suggesting its importance. 20Th Century Fox is a very popular production company making films such as Avatar and Maraduke.




DreamWorks :The images of clouds,moon and the text "Dream" suggest its surreal nature of production of more animated movies. All the images are images taken from great heights suggesting there involvement in the production of good quality films. Examples of films produced by "DreamWorks" are "Shrek" and "Madagascar"


Film 4 : The basic design of the "Film 4 " Logo which is suitbale for all ages suggests its wide range of films they offer. An Example of a "Film 4" production could be the "The Inbetweeners Movie" which was very popular in the younger ages.Again this is typical of "Film 4" as they have used a popular series of programmes and succesfully created a movie for the same audience.

Vertigo Films: This prodcution company is one with a lower budget to the above. This production comapny can be recognised from films such as "Dirty Sanchez" and "The Business". However they are also involved in many horror films such as "I'm The Angel Of Death " and "Children" which could suggest they're more suited to the production or our horror film as we too are low budget horror film producers.

The Italian Job Title Sequence

The opening sequence to "The Italian Job" is very similar to "Se7en" where small sections of the film are shown or relevant information suggesting what happens in the film.

As we watched the opening sequence we recorded the order in which certain features appeared.

1) The Production Company Logo.
2) Introduces the Actors/Characters, Visions on maps and settings.
3) Main Title Shown, Visions of maps and settings.
4) Opening Sequences introduces the main Characters.

Most films start of with a similar structure of opening sequence like this one. As it allows the audience enough information about the film without giving the whole story line away adding to the suspense and thrill of most movies.

Overall i was pleased with my movie i made. We used a range of shot types from long shots to close ups and also included match on action in places in which the audience can identify what has happened. An example could be when Steven walks up to the door and then the next shot being him closing the door. We also followed a number of rules such as the 180 degree rule and used a shot reverse shot on the dialogue used in the movie. If i was to re-do this prelimenary task i would change the begginging of my opening sequence as the opening title screen with my name, candidate number and title was too short due to uploading the movie onto my blog the title page was reduced in time length as it was originally 10 seconds on the movie maker.
