Old research

Just posting some older research into genres and composition of mise-en-scene, sound, editing, etc.

Name of film	Style of Titles (colour, size, font)	What sound is evident? (think of different layers?)	Key mise-en-scene (colour, lighting, props, actors, costumes, setting)	Editing (speed of cutting/transitions) and camera work (common shot types)
1. Dude, Where’s My Car? 2. The Perfect Man 3. It’s A Boy, Girl Thing	“psychedelic” theme, colourful, bold, bright “A Mark Kisman Film” etc. on a black background in pink lettering. “Icon Pictures Presents”… cartoon style “handwriting” lettering à possibly to reflect childish behaviour between the two characters?	Hippie, 90’s/80’s pop music Starts off with soft music, and then becomes quiet for conversation between characters. For a road journey, it kicks in with a female singer singing soft rock. Soft music, reflecting actions of the cartoon characters. Hip-hop music, speech of the girl when she is reading Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.	Nebula space background, unusual characters dancing “oldies” dancing”, muscular-looking men Teenagers, a woman who may be a mother yet she looks young and pretty. A beautifully, decorated cake, very bright lighting. Drive into an urban city and sunrise – suggests new beginnings? Cartoon of a boy and girl in conflict as they grow up through the years. Tree in the middle gets bigger, to show the passing of time. Fades into real life, girl reading Shakespeare, difference in rich and poor, rich upper-middle class and lower-middle class living next to each other. Boy dancing to hip hop in their room. The two argue from their windows opposite each other.	“20th Century Fox”, amateur transitions such as wipe, swirl, “clock”, warp, etc. pan of the camera. No “real-time” shots at all. All CGI with nebula background and actors dancing. Opening credits of names fade onto the screen and fade out, so on and so forth. Cast and crew name credits continue against car journey conversation scene Cut scenes. Shot/reverse shot during real-time conflict scene, fade transition during cartoon shots when time passes.
