The opening to the greatest showman is interesting, it plays the music in which the film will start with over the '20th century fox' This to an audience is seen as a promise of pleasure as that company is well known and so the audience has high hopes that it will be a high production made film.
It then switches to the different version of the song whilst stopping when the title come up on the screen, like 'Twentieth century fox' this emphasises the production company again. This is followed by the name of the movie.

Ocean's 8 - 2018
                             
This opens with 'village roadshow pictures' which again shows that the film will be  a high production movie. After that the movie then goes in a scene with dialogue given the audience a bit of an insight to the narrative, it's a women in a jail suit and so connotes that she is a criminal. Once that scene is finished at around 3 minutes into the opening, music starts to play and then the setting from a jail changes to an aerial shot of a city. Then the credit come up 'Warner bros pictures. presents' which connotes it will be good. Then followed 'in association'. Then the title of the film 'Ocean's eight'

Bird Box - 2018


What isn't in the link is how this film opens with 'Netflix presents'  which as the other openings connotes that the film has been well produced and so ensures the audience it will be good. The opening then goes on with a voiceover with a river, and then the title of the film 'bird box' comes up and that is the only text in the opening. Unlike the other openings there was another mention of the production companies

I am going to find some interesting facts about social media that I can use for the VoiceOver in my documentary. I want to find facts that will shock people and then possibly some facts that will be more light hearted and fun about social media as I don't want it to come across as a 'lesson' for teenagers.  Some Facts:  There are 3.5 billion social media users worldwide, that's around 45% of the worlds population. We spend a lifetime average of 5 years and 3 months on social media.  Instagram has 1 billion users. The average daily time spent on social media is 142 minutes.  91% of brands use 2 or more social media channels. Social media users grew by 202 million between April 2018 and April 2019, that works out that there is a new social media user every 6.4 seconds.  When asked, 81% of teenagers said that they felt social media had a positive impact on their lives.  Snapchat users view 8 billion videos on average.  Google processes 100 bill

Trying to figure out a topic for my documentary

I was struggling to come up with a topic, so I decided to sit down and brainstorm. I thought about what documentaries interest me out of ones I have watched, then I thought about the topic of some of those favourites and started to think if I could do something like my favourite ones. My two top ones were the Jesy Nelson 'odd one out' and 'Jade the reality star who changed Britain' and I saw the link between reality stars and how social media had effected them both. And so I then started to just write down my ideas of what I find interesting and what I would like to learn more about and possibly educate more people about. Once I wrote down after ideas I then had to think about what I could really do with those ideas and if I could turn my topic idea into an actual documentary. So I then thought what needs to be in a documentary and found on channel 4's website a list of what they think needs to be in a documentary. It went, Authenticity, Revelation, Innovation, A s
