Nine Frame Evaluation Guidance

You tube tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUmdaRTZ_PA

A student guide:

Look at http://www.artofthetitle.com/  Create your own 9 frame analysis of an influential film opening to show the forms and conventions of: the titles (including style, typefaces, positioning, timing, how they appear and what they say), setting and locations, costumes and props, camerawork, the 'setup' of the story, the creation of genre, how characters are introduced, editing and effects, music, sound and dialogue.  You should use each frame to write about a different aspect of the opening; e.g. one frame could be about the title of the film and the next frame could be about how genre is created (see the example on petesmediablog to see how this is done) http://petesmediablog.blogspot.co.uk/2010/11/evaluation-for-ocr-coursework.html

Then do a 9 frame analysis for your opening.  This time in your analysis compare your opening to the influential film.  Explain which of the conventions from the influential film you 'use' (i.e. things that are very similar).  Also explain which conventions you have 'developed' (i.e. given your own slant or interpretation).  Finally, also consider how you may have 'challenged' the conventions of your influential film (i.e. adopted an approach that is very different from the norm).
