What is a Target Audience and who is the target audience of Teen Dramas?
A target audience is a group of people you aim your specific product at, so in this case a film,The film will be made to suit that specific group of people whether it be teens or Adults.
Having a target audience makes it easier to identify the different types of marketing strategies needed in order to get your film out to the audience of your choice.Target audiences are also useful during the production of the film as there is the plot which the film will follow.
Teen drama films are mainly aimed at teenagers and young adults who watch things that they can relate to in terms of social-realism. They are most likely possibly attend school or college and will be going through some of the things being displayed in the films. Teen dramas mainly suit females due to the romantic plots and storyline

The people who are responsible for creating title sequences are designers and also have a role called Director of title sequences many people who work in this area have to develop strong relationships with studios.

8.Industry research. What is a Teen Drama film
What is Genre?
A genre is a group which categorizes different things likes music and film.
Genre can be very useful in film especially for the audience as it is easier for them to choose a film to watch or decide what type of films they enjoy watching.
We have two types which the audience may identify a genre. There is Syntatic which means the story that is being told in the film, Then there is Semantic which means the way the film looks.
A Teen drama is a type of drama series or film which are focused mainly on teen characters. The category teen drama came into prominence in the early 1990s, especially with the popularity of the Fox series Beverly Hills, 90210.It is very easy to identify a teen drama they all share the same sort of storyline,characters and locations for example a high school is almost always used in teen dramas.That is just one thing that is under conventions of teen drama, you also have the popular music or romance.
Instititutions like Warner bothers,Dreamworks Films and Revolver Entertainment are responsible for producing teen drama films.

7.Favourite film Analyses
My favourite film is Django Unchained Directed by the famous Queentin Tarantino.I love the film because of the story behind it and just the creativity and thought put behind this film.The tile sequence used in this film is titles over moving images with country sounding music going with the imagery of Django and other slaves walking through the rocks in a single line.
The order of the credits start with The Directors name Queentin Tarantino and the main character Django played by Jamie Foxx and then goes on to introduce the other actors such as Kerry Washington and Samuel L Jackson. WE are then shown the director of the Django music theme being played,The casting director,Film editor,Song writters and original songs used,Exexcutive producers,Costume Designers,Production Designer,director of photographer and finally the Producers
4 types of film openings
Titles on a blank screen out of the four is the most type of film opening used in the Industry. This usually contains different typefaces with a white typeface on top of a black background.This is the easiest way to create a film opening as technically they are fairly basic.
Then you have titles on still images which Includes visual imagery with text to allow the genre to be obtained through visuals.Many combinations of different medias into the background Introduction into the films tone and theme of the film.There is an example below.
T
Next is Titles over moving images, which incorporate the credits with the moving images behind he titles.This type of film opening also Usually has no dialogues and integrates credits with the moving imagery.
Finally there is Titles using animation /motion.One famous film which uses this method of film opening is the James Bond Skyfall film .This method requires specialists to create abstract or certain animations,during the 19902 the popularity of this method increased. Nowadays most films out use this type of film opening as it is more current and interests a wide audience.

5.What is the purpose of a film opening
Film openings usually contain credits which are at the start of a film introducing roles, including
famous actor/actress,director, writer and other main cast. The opening
credits can be shown in several different ways, but usually they are
shown with a background soundtrack/audio music and an opening of a scene
or piece of the film. The main purpose is to excite the audience and get them extremely eager to learn what is going to happen in the particular movie.Depending on the creativity of the Director and concept of the film,the opening can contain some visual effects as well as animation and some sound effects.This all contributes to creating an interesting atmosphere usually setting the tone for the movie before the movie has even started.
Analysis of 2 title sequences
THE SOPRANOS
During the opening of this title sequence the main focus if the character driving the car through different parts of a city. There are similarities with films like the Godfather as there is a rich cigar smoking mob leader.I believe this gives the audience a rough idea that this character has some form of power as he drives through both the good parts of the city and the rough parts of the city. Things that also suggest that he is wealthy is his gold wrist watch and he is smoking a cigar,as cigars were mostly smoked by rich people as they were expensive.Also by the logo we know that there are some dangerous parts in this film as the title is in red and that colour can can mean danger. The music used is mid tempo and runs smoothly with the imagery being shown on scree. Film is directed and created by David Chase.
21 Jump Street
This title sequence is different to the sopranos, we can tell that the film is patriotic from the American flag and the whole title sequence together has a fast pace to it. Throughout the scene there is a lot of action, violence, sexual activity and drugs from the scene i can see that the film will be based around these main categories. The music in the film is in the popular music category giving the film a upbeat atmosphere which made the movie much more appealing to the youth but older people could still enjoythe music. In some of the scenes characters would be introduced but then glimpse of which person is who in the next scene would be given to us the audience. Film was directed by Chris Miller and Phil Lord starring Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum

What is a Title sequence
What is a title sequence
A title sequence is the what films or television programs use to present their title, production team and cast members, or both, this is usually shown on screen with some visual effects and sounds. It usually follows but should not be confused with the opening credits, which are generally nothing more than a series of forced text. Television has become a huge part of people's everyday lives which lead to more and more people staying at home rather than visiting the theatre. This pushed film makers to reinvent film media. Later on, film makers and title designers elaborately designed titles hoping to grab the attention of audience before the film had even started.
The James Bond title sequence is one of my favourite.This is purely because of the creativity behind the different fonts used and the creativity of the title sequence as a whole. The sound and visuals go together as the theme song is played.I believe the quality of the title sequence sets the tone of the movie in terms of what to expect. When I say this I mean if the title sequence looks interesting and exciting,the audience know that they are in for a good interesting film,simply because the title sequence has set the tone.
Title sequences have changed over the years,starting from simple cards with words on it, to large amounts of animation and sound aswell as visual effects used .This is used to interest the audience aswell as give the entire cast behind the production some recognition.
