When doing my textual analysis on the opening scenes of my chosen genre, I need the essential items to make notes and then be able to write up my analysis afterwards:
- The films either on DVD or recorded from TV - this is the most important as without it I would have nothing to watch to analise
- Pen and Paper to make notes and when I watched to opening scenes again to make extra notes
- Computer - this was needed to write my draft onto a word processor then copy up onto my blog
These are the basics tools needed when writing an analysis, when watching the opening scene I needed to be looking for
- Camera Angles - how they were used, the effects, what they helped portray
- Editing - was it invisible or made visible
- Special effects
- Sound - digetic or non- digetic, soundtrack
- Representations - how are the characters being portrayed
- Mise en scene
- Verisimilitude
- Movement
- Pacing
And many other key features which I needed to pick up on when writing my textual analysis'.
