2. From the Pretty Woman opening I have learned that using close ups and mid shots can often emphasize
characters or situations in an opening. Or also sign a pan to emphasize a story in a film. For example the
pan over the wall of photos can tell a characters story. In my production I will use shots to tell a story or
emphasize what’s happening, or to explain what sort of a charter my character is.
From the Layer Cake Opening Scene essay I have learned that using professional and good looking
transitions can improve the whole story of the opening, and also the smoothness. The way the opening is
continually moving from right to left on a track. This therefore has affected what I have chosen to do for
my production, I think I will try and make the transitions smooth, to make it clear what’s happening in
my opening.
From the Skyfall Opening Credits I have learned that using special effects can really set the mood for a
film. For example having red colors makes you think of blood, so there may be death in the film. I think
in my own production I will use colors or special effects to set the mood for the audience.
From the Silence of the Lambs Opening scene essay I have learned that using tense music or really nay
music that fits to your opening can affect the whole mood of the film. For example having tense music in
a horror film at the opening can explain pretty much what the film will be about through sound. This has
influenced my production because I will use a soundtrack that will make the mood of my film
adventurous and exciting.
From the Star Trek Into Darkness Opening essay I've learned that having a font that actually fits the style
of your film makes a better quality one. so my own production I will chose some fonts that I believe suit
it well.
From the dawn of the dead opening scene I have learned that using sound effects to emphasize
something happening, like a door being broken down can make it clear what’s happening but also add to
the feel of the whole opening. So for my production I will use sound effects that add to the overall feel of
my film and also make it clear to the audience what’s happening, for example if there is a river then
there will be the sound of running water.

3. Low Budge films are produced without spending very much, for example gritty,
low-budget movies by young directors. A low-budget film is a motion
picture shot with little or no funding from a major film studio or private
investor.
Many young or first time filmmakers shoot low-budget films to prove their
talent before doing bigger productions.
Many low-budget films that do not gain some form of attention or acclaim are
never released in theatres and are often sent straight to retail because of its
lack of marketability or story.
Modern-day young filmmakers rely on film festivals for pre promotion. They
use this to gain acclaim and attention for their films, which often leads to
a limited release in theatres.
The term "low budget" is relative to a certain country and varies upon genre.
For example, a comedy film made for $20 million would be considered a
modest budget, whereas an action film or science fiction made for the same
amount of money would be considered low-budget because of the large
amount of money required to produce mainstream films of these genres.
My film is reasonably low budget it is an action, adventure type movie, and will
cost a reasonable amount to make. It will be realised in most theatres, but at
the same time as the DVD realise it will be available on the internet as well.

4. An independent film is a film production resulting in
a feature film that is produced mostly outside of the major
film studio system, like Universal.
In addition to being produced and distributed by
independent entertainment companies, independent films
are also produced and or distributed by subsidiaries of
major film studios.
Independent films are sometimes distinguishable by their
content and style and the way in which the filmmakers'
personal artistic vision is realized. They often have low
film budgets.
Generally, the marketing of independent films is
characterized by limited release, but can also have major
marketing campaigns and a wide release.
Independent films are often screened at film festivals before
distribution.

5. An international co-production is a production where two or more
different production companies are working together, for example in
a film production. In the case of an international co-production,
production companies from different countries (typically two to
three) are working together.
Co-production also refers to the way services are produced by their
users, in some parts or entirely. My film will not be a co-production
British films are often gritty, low budget and have British actors, they
are popular for British audiences and are often viewed by
international audiences
My film will not be a British film, it will be an independent company
filming in America, though the actors are British and American.
