The Brief

We have started our main task, we are to create an opening to a film. we have a couple of ideas rolling around but they need to be developed more before anything else.

goodfellas opening codes and conventions

This film is presented by warner bros. the beggining of the titles where the warner bros logo is shown may show that the film didnt have alot of m oney to work with. i believe this because the warner logo is the original and not been made to suit or flow with the storyline.
there are also some good camera angles in the first few minutes, there are some close ups in the car and when they have got out there are some match on action of the man in the boot being stabbed and shot

code and conventions in film openings

in the very beginning of this trailer the warner bros logo is used, the logo itself is made to look slightly gloomy and dark to represent the film within itself even though it hasn't officially started yet.

i believe this top show the code and conventions of the harry potter 7 part 2 trailer well.

Codes and Conventions in Media
• The media construct reality.
• The media have their own forms, codes and conventions.
• The media present ideologies and value messages.
• The media are business that have commercial interests.
• Audiences negotiate meaning in media.
Media mediate reality via the use of recognized codes and conventions,
and the credibility or realism of a media text may be judged by the degree
to which the audience identifies with what is being portrayed.
Media students identify three categories of codes that may be used to
convey meanings in media messages: technical codes, which include
camera techniques, framing, depth of field, lighting and exposure and
juxtaposition; symbolic codes, which refer to objects, setting, body
language, clothing and colour; and written codes in the form of
headlines, captions, speech bubbles and language style.
