Codes and Conventions of openings-The Dark Knight

Conventions of a film opening	Codes used to convey this convention (e.g. technical, symbolic, written)
The Hook!	The way in which it starts with a symbolic reference of the main villain  the  joker e.g. it starts with clown masks. It also shows an interest to the viewers as it opens with silence and the view of a skyscraper as the camera focuses on a window in particular, the scene crosses over to let us see what’s behind the window were an instant smash and two men wearing clown masks suddenly shoot a zip wire across immediately they are up to something which draws the audience to focus on them. Then it show a man standing on the edge of the side walk from a low ground shot it gets the audience thinking straight away and wanting to know more because he too is also holding a clown mask but has not put it on yet?
Set the scene (time? Setting?)	Is shown as a technically. The scene starts with a long shot of Gotham city then into an establishing shot  showing off the angles of the city this is technical for it shows us it is present time and is set in the city.
Introduce characters	The director uses unknown assailants in the intro and later on it relates  to the main villain (joker). This is shown through technical and symbolic references. Each member of the robbery is there for a specific job e.g. three armed robbers enter through the front of the bank they are there to take hostages and make sure it all goes smoothly when loading up and the two guys who enter through the roof, one is the technician who knows how to work a high powered drill to get into the mobs vault and the other is to disable the alarms and help out then there is a bus driver who help with loading up. In addition there are the hostages and bank manager who tries to kill off the robbers with a shot gun.
Introduce the genre	This is mainly technical of the shots of action that  appear throughout the scene but also includes symbolic stuff to tell the audience it is an action, thriller.
Credits	the director (Christopher Nolan) does not show who is in the film as he has done with all of the dark knight trilogy, the director shows a symbolic way to open the film. After the warner brother logo and DC comics intro in the dark knight film it show an explosive blue fire coming at the screen with the dark knight icon coming through the fire then immerging with it. Full credit are at the end followed by a cut scene after.
Narrative	Is shown as technically . It shows a set plan of robbing a bank that holds money by the mob the joker robs them to get their attention a lot of this is symbolic and technical for as each part of the plan works out and a unique skill is used e.g. one of the guys who first enters on the roof, he is there to disable the secret alarm system then is killed by the technician  as this happens one by one the joker has instructed each robber the take out one another when there part of the job is done for one less cut of the money until the last robber standing turns out to be (SPOILER) the joker.

interrogation scene plan

Interrogation scene: remember 180 degree rule!

Lighting-light in centre of table high lighting face and showing off a dark side, contrast of character. 

Shots-over the shoulder shot, close ups, extreme close up (to show eyes beaming around the room) , medium shot,

Angles-low angle at the start to show a POV of the suspect showing the interrogator has a higher power, and high angle of the interrogator to show the higher authority.

Sound-foot step, echo, sound bounces off the walls, closed in (compact) for sound like tapping and dramatically.

 Something like this would help the project have the touch of a tense, dark atmosphere and we could enhance the light in the shot to cover the whole screen to show a flash back or use natural lighting between scene to show the present reality.

history of typography

film typography

Night of the living dead: The Typography has a red bold, worn away  (as if it looks like a splat of blood) they have chosen this because it symbolises the mark of death from the undead (not a clean kill as if the text has emerged from someone being bitten by a zombie) and is used to enhance the zombies red eye indicating the rage and thirst for blood. Plus  throughout George Romero's(Directors) zombie series to show the creatures of the dead are back for more bloodshed.

Casino Royal(007): The Typography is bold and very straight with no fancy flicks and has the O's as a 0 with a gun on the end but it is in the shape of a 7 showing it is a 007(bond) film. It also has a glow effect with a trail of mist suggesting there is a mystery within the plot.

The Terminator:Its Typography has a scifi touch with a chrome look indicating it has something to do with a futuristic machine and it gives off the look of a retro 70's-80's feel with a future lazer effect.This helps it fit onto Arnold's leather jacket making it easy to read and put's Arnold in the spot light of he is THE TERMINATOR.
  

Jurassic Park:The Typography is very bold showing an interest look (amusement/circus look) to show it's appeal to the audience because this is the very straight forward looking titles because the message is within the look and sound of typography (its exaggerating a theme park where you can see real life dinosaurs) it fits together well and colour has the bright with dark to give you a personal opinion and is always linking to the bones of a T-Rex in the back ground.

Star Trek: Its Typography is very slanted to an angle showing it is a thick chunk of metal this indicates that its almost like the ships and future elements they use in the film. It also shows a a small dim shine (almost like a shine of a star) throughout the middle, giving it a scifi look and symbolises there is hope.

Toy Story: Its Typography has more of a friendly look with colours like yellow, blue and red. Its uses a bend effect with the letters to show its like a toy movement effect. and it has a red box surrounding the story and is symbolism for adventure because it has the word toy popping out.
 

Sucker Punch:The Typography is very fancy but lazy with the flicks at the edge of the letters, it fits in with the films style (a dezel punk look) and has the sun rising at the bottom of the title this shows off the shine on the metal of the text and is very fantasy looking for posh text and half polished and spots of dirt do not usually fit together.
