My first attempt of making a Prezi, on Digital Media Technologies.

This was the first time I had ever made a Prezi, therefore it was not very good. Our task was to just practise using Prezi and get used to it by making a short Prezi on Digital Media Techonologies.

I am Ledgend opening title sequence: Conventional or Unconventional?

During a media lesson, we closely watched the opening title  sequence of the film ‘I am ledgend’ looking closely at it’s conventions.

Firstly the opening title sequence is conventional in the way that There is realistic Aesthetic which recreate actual real life experiences. It opens with a news report of a lady declaring that a cure for cancer has been found. It is shown in a different aspect ratio of 7:9, whilst the the film is shown in a 16:9 ratio.  It also runs audio without the footage when the news report is being shown. It establishes the city where it is set (New York) by showing yellow cabs, big buildings  and the city.  We are left with a hook, as to why Will Smith seems to be the only person alive.

It is also shown as unconventional in the way there is a non diagetic soundtrack, and the directors credits are shown during the news report. Also the way it leaves the audience hanging as the plot is made unobvious and hard to understand.
