Codes and convention

The codes of the film opening are mostly technical code because they are mostly designed on computer and edited on computer. There would be some symbolic codes because the character(s) in the opening scenes use body language for example in The Incredibles opening body language is used to shows that the characters are fighting as if there superhero or villains and right at the start you can see what clothing they're wearing which is red which could mean they're evil. Things such as clothing and colour are symbolical code so even if everything is done by computer you can still find symbolic codes.

The openings also shows what genre the movie is for example again The Incredibles it shows animation character and then character in action so this suggest to the audience that the movie is in the action and animation genre. Most movies opening do have logo's either of the companies that produces it or the logo of the movie for example The Incredibles has a movie logo rather then the companies logo on it's opening so when people see this logo they will know what it is related too.

The openings normally show shows the cast info whilst it is playing through the opening. The audience would watch the movie opening and expect to see those kind of things no matter what movie it is, so they would expect to see cast info, who the movie is made and produced by and they would expect the opening to giving a hint of what the movie will be like and what genre it is in.

You can compare it too Iron Man's opening and you'll see thing in common with The Incredibles opening. You will see that both opening contains cast information to tell you who stars in the movie and who is playing which character.
(The first one is Iron Man's open and secound one is The Incredibles)

As you can see both move has cast information in them and most openings do its something everyone would expect from a movie. They both also show things that might happen in the movie or what might be in there for example in Iron Man's opening you see his suit so you will know thats in it and in The Incredibles you will see people fighting as the credits come up. These are the main things audience would expect form a movie opening becuase they are the main and common thing.

Film Openings






Genre of the movie is horror and thriller because the music is dramatic and shows different kind of deaths of people during the title sequences which suggest the movie will contain violence. This title sequence is all made up from computers none of it is done manually using equipment for example the characters and killing is all computer animated. The connotation is that there is a serial killer who kills people and rigs up tramps to kill them too. The key signifier is the sound which is dramatic and evil to build up tension. The sequence tell us that there will be a lot of violence and killings throughout the movie and the expectations are that people will want to see a lot of actions, horror and thrilling scenes during the movie. The audience that is being targeted is teenager/adults because there will be a lot of violence by the looks of the sequence.









Genre of the movie is action mostly and you expect a lot of fight and future sort of weapons and technology, the title is again made up from computer software so its just a technical code. The connotations of the sequence is that it is about action, that he is the hero who protect people villains. The music is a signifier, the music is like tension building and is most likely in the rock category. The title sequence tells us that the movie is mostly about a robotic person who has weapons ass destruction built on him, this would mostly make people think the movie is sci-fi or along those lines. The audience that is being targeted is most likely people 12+ or 12- like me, kashif face. there is abit of voilence but it does have content that isnt sutible for kids under that age.









This last one is in the animation/action and adventure genre, it is all computerised becuase it is animationm so it is all done with computers so this would also be full of techinical codes. The signifier is most likely be the red backgorund showing evil or anger in some cases even they are heros in the movie so it would make the audience probably think that there is a twist to the movie. The sequences tells us that the movie is about a animated family with superpowers so they are super hero's and i think the same as what the audience might think, that this movie is about an animated family/group who has superpowers and protects people from villians and the target audience would most like be any grouped age but classed as a PG since there is abit of voilence in the movie.

Scream 4 Poster

The genre of this movie is that it is horror and partly comedy but mainly horror, three codes this is would be dark lighting also known as low key lighting, knifes and weapons, masks and clothing. Three conventions of this movie would be blood, violence and murder. The signifier of this movie is that the hero/victims are at front and the killer/villain will be at the back.the villian is called kashif face because he has a kashif face Te donatives level are that there is going to be one serial killer might kill the people who are front but in other words kill the who are in his way. This cover shows the three main characters on the front and the villain is the mask which is Smokey like to say it is a ghost or something that can come from anywhere. This poster also shows the audience that there is a killer and main character who may die or survive but they know there will be violence and blood. This also shows that this movie will be restricted to a certain age group because of the violence it contains.
