Strong, upbeat music too entice to audience and too give them the impression that this drama is full of tension and suspense. For a crime drama, the music is not the sterotypical classical form.
Images:
Images of an urban city, with skyscrapers in a dull sepia tone conveys to the audience that it could be a crime drama due too the rough areas that are presented. Picture of cars and ordinary street scenes shows that it is based in an everday cit life area. There are images of the cast/actors who all seem too be busy doing something within their given role too show that they're always busy within theirt job
Target audience:
I would say that for this drama series, it is aimed at those who enjoy thrilling suspense police crime dramas.
Colours/Mise en scene:
Throught this opening of Scott & Bailey, the use of a sepia edit (including the colour tones of orange, grey, white, brown and yellow) conveys a dull atmosphere of urban city life. The opening starts of showing the daily routine and the journey too work, which is all along roads and we get the impression that its too do with police work when one of the charactors is stood outside a police officer on the phone.
Hollyoaks:
Music/Sounds:
The music for the opening credits of this soap is lively and upbeat by incorporating a guitar and symbols portraying that its a more modern take on TV dramas rather than the originals with classical musicial instruments for the opening/closing credits/titles.
Images:
Throughout the opening, each charactor is shown individually by being represented with their own unique personality projected in the background. Each charactor is shown doing something in their element for at least 3-4 seconds each. The change over between each charactor is very quick and cuts into the next with no effect too show each actor quickly.
Target audience:
This programme is mainly for those who enjoy drama, comotion and a series of dramatic events continuously. This series is very action-packed and full of deaths, lies, cheating, scams and events that could be relatable in reality due too the setting of the production yet is dramatised for the audiences enjoyment.
Colours/Mise en scene:
Throughtout the opening titles, their is a variety of clours due too each charactor being portrayed differently depending on who they are and their colour chosen for each represents who they are, e.g, what their charactor is like. Each charactor is also shown doing something within the scene, for example, the first one shown is eating a red cherry.
New Girl:
Music/sounds:
The music in the background is created from a piano which can suggest that the series isnt too fancy and high-tech due too the simpleness of how the credits are created, showing that its just about ordinary, simple people.
Images:
During this opening for New Girl, each charactor uses cardboard cut outs too portray to the audience where the series is set, what its about and what it contains and who. From the beginning, we see seagulls and skyscrapers which conveys that its abroad (is an American series) and possibly near the sea. It finishes with all the charactors in the an apartment room which is where the whole storyline is based (and where they all live)
Target audience:
This programme is targetted at a wide range of audeinces due too it being a comedy sit-com so can suit a younger audience, e.g teenagers, but also appeal too an older audience due too the adult context of it.
Colours/Mise en scene;
Throughtout the opening, there is a wide range of colours too fully convey the meaning of each prop used and to show that this series is quite a bright and cheerful programme. The colours chosen too represent the props are rather bright too make them stand out and entice the audience too watch it. (e.g - the bright orange background with bright blue buldings and bright green grass conveys a cheerful persepective on the audeince)
Good detail in your work; it shows real understanding of the tasks.
