This is Hannah's analysis of 'Casino Royale' which is a very popular bond film. Hannah's analysis has helped me understand symbolic and iconic more as she has referred to them in this, and I now know that when something is iconic, it is recognised by the audience, and symbolic is when we learn a link between a picture/symbol and a meaning. For example, (as Hannah has said) The blood in the opening title sequence, symbolises death. Another thing I have learnt from Hannah's analysis is how camera techniques are used to show someones point of view and I think this is helpful as we can take this into consideration when plannig and making our thriller opening sequence. I think it's good how Hannah has mentioned that hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs are spun round in the background, linking to the casino theme, as I wouldn't have thought of this before and it's a very important aspect as it links to the whole film in general, and the title 'casino royale.' Overall Hannah's analysis of this opening title sequence is good as she has shown great understanding of the technical areas combined to make this opening sequence. However if this could be improved I would say that she could look at editing in more detail to get a greater understanding of it.
Hi Melissa, you haven't really evaluated TBH. Instead, you have given a very generalised overview of the things that she has written about.
ReplyDeleteYou need to one identify 2-3 specific features of her analysis that have improved your own understanding and explain why.
Then you need to identify at least one feature of her analysis that you feel could have been improved and explain why.
That what evaluation is all about. Read this: http://www.slideshare.net/jamesmichie/what-is-evaluation
