Final Task: Research Pink Panther

http://ishare.rediff.com/video/entertainment/the-pink-panther-2-part-1/628662

This is the link for the Pink Panther 2 opening scene which is a detective comedy.

I have found it was released in 2009, directed by Harald Zwart and had prodcution companies that are

-Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer(MGM)
-Columbria Pictures
-Robert Simonds Productions
The film grossed $35,922,978 domestically and $39,948,054 in foreign countries totaling $75,871,032 worldwide.


This clip is is different to the perception the audience will usually have of a detective drama in that it is in a comic way. However this may cause a disadvnatage such as that it decreases the vermisiltude and represenataion of reality. This opening scene is very specfic in that it immediatelty makes the audience know what the film is about. The use of the titles and credits after the part where the audience starts to know what the film is about is a very good way of keeping the audience interested in the film and wanting to look further. Also the titles and the cartoon shots make the film have a different aspect to the film and seem more unique to the same type of genre.
In the title the use of sound in terms of the Pink Panther theme, also in the film srings are used throughout. These emphasise a certain idea or thing and the audience would have to be familar with this throughout the film. The use of the theme music in the titles makes the audience understand what sort of genre it is in that it shows some ambient sound to show a certain thing. The music is very mysterious and quite slow, it also connotates the titles in how the Pink Panther is moving and the sort of things they do.
The audience in this may then be antisipated to be for a young age as they see a comedy side of a detective genre, this may be because they feel the audience will understand the idea of crime better and it will be more clear, however this may reduce the versiltmude in the real world.
In the beginning the use of various locations is very good in that it gives titles to show these, this means it is took in various locations. In the film the way various items have been stolen in the world makes the audience thing of how someone could have done all of them and makes it sound mysterious. The music shows a sense of qucikness the way it gets louder to each item being shown to be stolen. At the end the music because very high pitched and finally ends suggesting to the audience that something has been acomplished in this case the items being stolen.
In the first dialogue between the two people the perception of detectives is lacking vermislude in that the detectives think very highly of themselves and it also shows  a lot of competition between them. This is shown in a comic way in that he starts to bash his head againist the wall because he did not get the moment he was waiting for. It then represents the extends a detective will go to in this case lieing and bribery.
Then the detective refers to Closeau where there audience does not understand who this person is except that he is the best detective in the world-From this the audience start to imagine this inspector as a serious, boring and hard working person however they immediately know of the person when the next scene appears and then it is the final straw to showing it is a comedy detective film. The inspector is interprutated as very determined, accurate but not ina serious manner and this is what the keeps the audience interested. This was  big risk for them to take have the audience thinking one thing where they want to not watch it but then showing another side and this attracts them too.
From this clip I have found that using a comedy in this genre is a big risk and is very hard to achieve. I have decided that from this film I can take ideas such as the use of stealing and getting a inspector to investigate. This film was very succesfull because of the comedy of it however it is very hard to avhive.

Final Task: Research

In order to get into the level 4 mark band we need to include a detailled research and planning of our genre and feature film. For this we need to analysis at least 5 oprning scenes of other films which fit our genre. Doing this will also give use a look at how this type of genre needs to be represented in order to be succesful.

For each opening scene we need to look at are the codes and convections, representation, camera work, genera content such as features. Also we need to look at ways of linking to the genre and the target audience in order to be helpful when it comes to planning the opening scene.

Final Task: Genre

We have decided to do a detective/crime feature film. This means the opening scene will be a mysterious and and buillt up tension. Hopefully this will grip the audience and they will be in suspense. We are going to start the opening scene where there is a sense of tension building from the start. Doing this means the audience will stay interested. Movies with a sense of emergency and crimnal based features have insprided us to chose this genre.
Next we are you going to research into this genre to help with planing. Doing this will also give use ideas and inspriation into what we want in our opening scene. Our main target audience is teenagers and young adluts. This is because this sort of genre is ususually aimed at them as it is more versilmutude.
Firstly I have researched into the genre and found that detective can be a mysterious sort of film and also include crime. There can also be  a comedy side to film involving this genre, however we will use the more serious side as a comedy detective film may be hard to create as the context will have to be very accurate. In a detective film I found that it has to be a very dark film and the result of the mysteriousiness is the suspense the auidience feels as they wait for something or someone to be revealed.
We haave thought about having a girl commiting sucide which will be very dramatic for a opening sequence and will make the audience want to know what happend and as to why she has done this.

Final Task: Opening Scene of Feature Film

In this task I am working with Beth and Nat which is the final task that we will be examined on.We have to prodcue a two minute opening scene of a feature film. We need to include titles,range of shots and edits, any continuity features, mise-en-scene, genre specfic features and appropriate sound and lighting. We must demonstrate excellance and creative use of steadiness of shots , varitety of shots and distances, shooting with apprioprate material, selecting mise-en-scene, editing appropritaely, acuurate use of sound and titles.
For myself I need to produce at least 3 blog entries a week and cover research and planning and the final blog entires for the evalaution.
During the holiday I am going to think of the content within our opening scene maybe starting to construt a stroyboard, rough production schedule and script.
