Sound

Sound is used in opening sequences along with other elements to give the viewer an idea of what genre show they're watching based on what kind of music is used (e.g. Pop music could suggest that the about adolescence and their target audience is young teenagers)if there's any narration used and if sound is diegetic or non diegetic.I have created a mind-map on Bubbl.us to show my notes on three different genre opening sequences I watched and what I believe each aspect of the sound is meant to show.

My Film:
I plan on using the information I've gathered here and apply it to my opening sequence by showing that I am capable of using a variety of different types of sound from music to voice overs and ensuring that they're appropriate for my genre of film.I would like to use some of the conventions shown in my analysis of the show "Golden Boy"as it's based on a crime much like mine.
