Content of Analysis

As well as the Media Language stuff, you need to make sure you mention the following in your Opening Sequence analysis posts:

• Representation - what sort of people/ groups/ places are in the sequence and how do they come across?
• Audience - who is the film aimed at and how do you know? This often links to the above
• Institution - who made the film and who distributed it? You can find information about this kind of thing on Wikipedia or IMDB

Another useful site is Box Office Mojo, which gives figures for how well films did financially.
