Previous Blog Posts

I looked at past blog posts from previous AS and A2 coursework groups under different titles to look into the content and effectiveness of each one. I picked one blog post for each type of blog post I had written down which was the best out of all the blogs I looked at.


Deconstruction of a Film Opening. 

http://llbcmedia.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/dawn-of-dead-deconstruction.html

I chose this blog post as it contained lots of screen grabs from the first five minutes of the film opening that was watched. It also contains a lot of detailed points which fully deconstructs the film opening and allows them to access lots of information that gives them information into what is needed in a film opening.

Deconstruction of a Trailer.

http://llbcmediatrailerblog.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/zombieland-trailer-deconstruction.html http://theklinger.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/containment-trailer.html

I couldn't choose between these two blogs for this title as they both contain lots of detailed information even though it is only a film trailer being deconstructed.

Production Company Deconstruction.

http://www.ellalucychar.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/non-professional-production-company.html

This blog post is a very good example of deconstructing non-professional film companies as it lists more than one company and screen grabs of the footage as it changes over the length that it is shown at the beginning of the clip.

Genre Investigation.

http://media-chem.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/genre-investigation-psychological-horror.html

For genre investigation I chose this blog as it concentrates on one genre of psychological horror and just one film so that it can get a deep insight to the features and elements that are used within this genre of film, the information contained in the blog post is very detailed and accompanied by multiple screen grabs to display further the information they have researched into.

Previous Film Opening Deconstruction.

http://www.townlymedia.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/the-bunker-deconstruction.html

I chose this blog post as it splits up its deconstruction into the key areas of camera angles and sound, editing, genre, target audience, mise-en-scene etc. This allows it to contain a lot more information in an organised way and is very user and blog friendly.

Deconstruction of Mise-En-Scene.

http://media-chem.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/deconstruction-of-one-hour-photo.html

This blog post focuses on one element of mise-en-scene found in a film and it includes great detail on the one element.

Deconstruction of Costumes. 

http://www.cragmedia.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/deconstruction-costumes-of-victims.html

I chose this blog post over the others as it features multiple different characters instead of just concentrating on the main antagonist and protagonist within the film. It also contains lots of detail on each costume that is mentioned in the blog post. 

Deconstruction of Editing.

http://www.gauravmiajakeholly.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/deconstruction-on-editing-effects-used.html

This blog post contains lots of screen grabs from the scene that is being deconstructed and a very detail evaluation summing up all of the points that have been made previously.

Deconstruction of a Specific Film or Scene.

http://natdanrebclo.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/dark-water-trailer-deconstruction.html

This post contains lots of detailed deconstruction points and so gives the audience a lot of in sight into what the certain elements within the sequence show and put towards the overall impression.

Deconstruction of Titles.

http://media-chem.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/film-opening-titles-deconstruction.html

I chose this blog post over the other blogs I looked at as for each title that appears on screen there is a screen grab, a description of what the text is and how it is placed on the screen and the timing of when it appears which allows more specific detail to be pulled from the film's opening titles.

Deconstruction of Typography.

http://www.gauravmiajakeholly.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/title-deconstruction.html

This blog post contains lots of different film typography of their titles and underneath each there are detailed bullet points showing the key elements of each type of typography.
