Research - Planning Film Opening Editing and Sound 1

Planning in film activity 1:

     In this assignment my teammates and I had to conduct research on a Film called "The Giver". The objective for this assignment was to be able to recognize the sequencing conventions of a film's opening and sound vocabulary. For the first section of the PowerPoint, I had to document the film openings conventions. Then, I had to define exposition and list some examples of the techniques that were used in the film.
