Deconstruction of opening titles (Task 3.2) (Notes)

On Tuesday 6th January 09' A double lesson with Ms Flavell we looked at our AS Media Studies Coursework Outline the Research & Planning section and then we looked at the section "Analysis of two opening sequences in your chosen genre from two different studios - 3.2 " and we watched the opening of Vendetta. We then went through the task as a class and answered the questions as a class. (See below)

Deconstruction of opening titles:

1. Relationship to sound

Diegetic - fire whoosh - Diegectically intended - At the beginning where there was a sound of a fire whoosh- accompanies flame title with a bold V for Vendetta.

2. Symbolism

A V in flames in a circle faded in red words: FOR VENDETTA. Flames in a circle symbolize a link to the gun powder plot, and a Phoenix. V is the 2nd reincarnation of the gun powder plot in the Parliament.
The red letters emphasizes danger and anger.

3. Technical Construction - (How is the production made)

The flames were probally created using CGI (Computer Generation Image) - A very neat construction
