/// FILM OPENING EG1 Pretty in Pink

EVALUATION

•  Pretty in Pink only has one company ident (Paramount) - it is a good idea to have 3 as it shows the understanding of the industry
• We must look very carefully at titles. If the titles are poor, an A grade is very unlikely.

TITLES IN ORDER 

(if bold, it is a larger font size)

• PARAMOUNT PICTURES PRESENTS - sans serif, black and white connoting drama, almost a social realist serious style, polysemic title
• A JOHN HUGHES PRODUCTION - Auteur, uses production but would usually see film, would usually see the directors name twice
• ESTABLISHING SHOTS - clearly presents working class (rusty car, broken up road, irregular plants, 'wrong side of the tracks'

SHOTS

• Exposition shot - narrative enigma.  Some degree of context - a working class area (grass growing over pavement, rusty car, broken roads)
• Panning shot showing both sides of the track - Born/from the wrong side of the tracks - One side is a nice area than the other.
