todays task consisted of analysing the opening scenes of 'ghost ship', 'harry brown', 'clueless' and ' guardians of the galaxy'. This task involved us having to analyse the genre represented by key features of the opening scene such as camera shots, colour.
The opening of 'ghost ship' begins with a relaxed setting of gentle music and enthusiastic characters,
however the great contrast of the mysterious/unknown character that causes the dramatic scenes of horror is suggesting the genre of 'ghost ship' is going to be a hybrid of drama and mystery. The use of the slow panning of the
horror event and quick view of the cause of the event reveals how the mystery genre will be key through out 'the ghost ship'.
'Harry Brown' begins with clear drug usage, gang relation and violence through out. The use of the characters
opening in a dark setting/clothing with a theme of gangs and drugs is suggesting that 'harry brown' includes the
genre of crime. The use of the camera images being from a point of view shows how 'Harry Brown' is
likely to be a crime biography. Finally the use of slang language being heard before the opening images
also immediately sets the genre for crime for 'Harry Brown'.
The opening of 'clueless' begins with a theme of partying and summer holidays. Comedy is the genre we
can pick up from the energetic characters and language of the narrative. The use of the quick camera shots and hot city life reveals how 'clueless' is going to contain youth humour and therefore continues to reflect the genre of comedy. Also the use of the summer costumes and characters reveal a sense of romance as well as comedy.
'Guardians of the galaxy' begins with an abandoned futuristic setting, this setting is brought with a hint of
possible violence with fighting creatures, however this is overshadowed by themes of comedy based around the focus character. This therefore reflects how comedy will be the key genre through out, but will also include
action themes in a futuristic content. The clear icon and camera focus on the technology of the character is
revealing how 'guardians of the galaxy' is focused on a futuristic space plot with the genre of comedy/action.
