TV news starting sequences have things in them that all of them have.
We often see rushing graphics during the starting sequence which connotes urgency, which shows how quick they want to inform us of new information
Most things are usually transparent which connotes unchanged and untampered news so we trust what they say
We usually see the world from space which connotes that they have worldwide coverage and can let us know what happening anywhere
There's usually a landmark in it so that we know that they can tell us the news from anywhere
There's always clocks in the starting sequence and this connotes the urgency in how quick we need to know whats happened
We often see satellites or technology to show us they are using everything they can.
They use fast paced beat driven music which involves brass music to connote urgency.
They often use male voice overs to connotes authority because because more of the older generation listen and watch the news they prefer a mans voice as in today's sexist world a man is considered wiser than women
They often use metallic blues or strong reds connotes that its like the office of world to make sure everyone knows what id going on and are informed
Presenters need to seem to have no opinion so that the neutrality and importance work they only have a limited range of faces they must have a received pronunciation so that they are speaking standard English accent they use direct address so they look straight at the camera and it seems as if they are talking directly to us and the the presenters are always sitting don before it starts to have a punctual and formal feel.
I am doing my documetary on Yu-Gi-Oh and what it means to people.
Yu-Gi-Oh! is a Japanese manga series about gaming written and illustrated by Kazuki Takahashi.

In Japanese, Yu-Gi-Oh means King of Games.
The Trading Card Game (TCG) The game was launched by Konami in 1998. It was named the top selling trading card game in the world by Guinness World Records on July 7, 2009, having sold over 22 billion cards worldwide.
In 2002, a boy named Tyler Gressie was diagnosed with liver cancer. He needed to have a quarter of his liver removed, along with part of his lower intestines. His chances of survival were low, but Tyler fought for his life, and was able to fully recover. The Make-A-Wish Foundation offered to grant one of Tyler’s wishes, and he asked to create a card for Yu-Gi-Oh!, his favourite game. http://screenrant.com/yu-gi-oh-cards-game-anime-trivia-facts/?view=all

When films first started coming out in black and white in cinema their editing techniques were actually cutting the film tape with scissors and then splicing it back together, now in the modern world we use editing software like Sony Vegas and Adobe Premier Pro.
This final action scene from Deadpool has some very good editing in it, the continuity is great as it flows very well and the audience shouldn't get too confused, it sticks to and doesn't break the 180 degree rule which is a basic guideline regarding the on-screen relationship between a character and another character within a scene and we have this rule because if the camera swaps over to the other side for one of the shots, the pictures won’t work together. Instead of facing each other, the characters now look as if they are facing in the same direction.
The way it has been edited keeps the audience on their feet as when there's fighting going on the speed of cuts and shots speed up dramatically but when it gets serious and you get worried for one of the good guys like Colossus it slows down so that we can have a connection to whats going on and react to it.
At 0:09 there is a match on action to show what happened to the air pressure in the where Wades girlfriend is trapped this is to show us why he threw the sword at the glass and so that we understand why he did it. With the first bit of fighting the shots are quite quick but not just as in cut quick, they move quick the camera movements aren't slow at all and that's so were are still kept on the edge of our seats and then when it starts to slow down a bit the cuts get quicker so that we understand whats going on better.
Shot variation is where you don't just use the same shot over and over, you mix it up a bit and used different type of shots like a pan shot or a crab shot just to make it more interesting. This clip has a lot of shot variation because they use pan shots, close ups, medium shots, tracking shots etc.
Cutting to soundtrack is the technique where each cut is influenced by the style of music heard in the background.
A montage is where there are loads of still/ moving images cutting through each other really quick
Parallel editing/cross-cutting is the technique of alternating two or more scenes that often happen simultaneously but in different locations. An example of this is when Ajax and Deadpool are fighting on top of the airship and then we cut to Colossus and Angel are fighting below it.
Editing rhythm is when the relations between shots function to control film pace.
Cutaways is the interruption of a continuously filmed action by inserting a view of something else
Jump-cut is where some time has been cut out so the character appears to jump
A system has developed, called the continuity system, which helps the audience to understand the relationship of shot to shot, and creates a ‘seamless’ effect allowing us to follow the action and to understand what is going on . It consists of: establishing shots, shot-reverse-shot, motivated editing
Storyboards: these are our storyboards i helped with the camera directions our storyboards are very clear and detailed. our pictures aren't the best but they're detailed enough to show that we have put effort into it.
Initial idea: our idea is a man from the future comes to the present to give a boy from a prophecy a USB to stop the world from being destroyed by global destruction and then he disappears.
Props/Costumes: we were okay to use casual clothing so we didn't need any costumes. we used a USB stick as a prop.
Risk Assessment: we had to have a risk assessment to make sure we knew how to stay safe along roads and in public areas.
these are our location recce photos they were taken in the woods by the rec outside of college. we took them as part of our pre production work so that we knew where we were going to shoot our film.
Camera Angles: we had tracking shots, close up 180, POV shot, extreme close up, shot reverse shots, medium shots, long shots.
effects: we used some effects like fading in and out to make it seem as if time was passing when Joe walked across the field and we also used crossfading when Joe 'disappeared'
