'Watching' Documentary


  1.  It means that if the film does not get the audiences attention, then they will not enjoy watching it. The film has to keep a good plot to it, so the audience have the interest to watch it throughout. 
  2. He means that the viewers should not gain the plot at the very beginning, they need to be able to keep the audience interested as a whole. He means that the excitement should not happen all at once, but a time passes by. 
  3. The quote means that the audience should have just about enough information/detail they need, for them to want to carry on watching.
  4. The classic opening is establishing shot, a close up of a bulding from the east onto a close up of a building, whilst the camera goes up the building into a window to show objects and then a person. Its classic because we are told where it has been taken place and the occupation of the hero. We are told "the organisation of the world". 
  5. The title sequence to the film Seven was effective because it became like a main scene for the movie; it told a story, it introduced the main characters obsession and foreshadowed a lot of the things that was going to happen. 
  6. Orson Welles intended his film to be seen without credits and title music. He wanted to plunge the audience into the story without giving them time to prepare themselves. The studio on the other hand did not understand what Welles tried to do, so they made a final cut which had credits below the scene and music too. They had ruined what Welles intended to do. 
  7. Film Noir is the term used to describe Hollywood crime movies, in black (and white) the film starts with the end scene. 
  8. The opening creates suspense because the camera pursues the car like a 'predator' high up and from behind. The scene tells us that they are driving in the wrong direction. The music makes it seem suspicious too.
