In class we watched the opening sequence of the film 'Back to the future'. We wrote notes on everything we could see and hear e.g. shot types, sound effects etc. We then put it all into a story board.
These were the notes I wrote down when watching the opening sequence:
- Movie title 'Back to the Future moves in from the right, to the middle of the shot.
- Tracking shot of lots of different clocks, moving from right to left.(Ticking noises)
- The tracking shot continues going downwards, showing a framed news paper article, Camera then zooms out.
- Tracking shot continues of radio and tv.
- Tracking shot continues left to toaster-(sound of toast popping up)
- The camera moves left slowly as the dog food falls into the bowl, the camera then follows the food as it drops.
- Camera moves up and then shows a shot of a boys feet walking through the door- boy says "hey doc"
- Camera follows the feet as the boy walks, only showing bottom half.
-Boys skateboard rolls and knocks into a box saying "plutonium"- close up shot.
- Close up of the boy turning up the volume, close up of dial being turned up (machinery sounds)
- Close up of boy plugging in cables/wires.
After writing these notes me and my group then put it onto a storyboard.
Doing this task helped me think about all the little things I need to take into consideration when making the opening sequence of a childrens film. Also how storyboarding is very importing before you start filming so you know how each shot will go into the next one. Also how sounds play a key role in creating a atmosphere in the film.

In this lesson we watched a variety of different clips from childrens films, we had to annalyse the clip, listening to the dialogue and watching the characters closely. We then had to guess what classification the film was. (U or PG).
We watched clips from the films:
Harry Potter(PG), Up(U), Home Alone(PG) and Water ship down(U).
I wasn't suprised by any of the classifications of the films, apart from Water ship down, as it was very voilent for a U e.g. it had lots of blood and fighting. I feel it could be very frightening to a child and should not be a U.
This lesson helped me to take into consideration the 'guidelines' of what a U or a PG should include. Therefore when it comes to filming our childrens film opening we will be able to give it an accurate classification.
