Conventions of an opening sequence from

The conventions of an opening sequence slide show. There are 4 variations of the slide show explaining the conventions of opening title sequences.
I found that this presentation followed the idea of conventions in an opening sequence, because it listed out the types of ideas. However i feel like it lacked vital detail that it needed and a lot of the terms were missing which made the slideshow look a lot more unprofessional and incomplete. I feel like this slideshow doesn't specify its target audience well as it should because of the reasons above. The audience however would have been aimed at media students who were just starting media and would be looking at key terms or what they should be looking at in title sequences of movies. The purpose of the presentation is to show key terms and to help new media students. I do believe that the format of this presentation is somewhat successful whoever it lets it down from the way the presentation is made and the lack of detail it contained, also I feel for a presentation to be fully successful is to keep the intended target audience interested it has to be interesting for the reader, I feel like it should of included a lot more images or been set out a lot nicer and not so basic. I believe they covered most of the conventions but it was so basic that it wasn't good as I was hoping it would be.
I felt like this slideshow had a lot more construction than the first one did. It explains codes and conventions of opening sequences of movies in a lot more detail but could still be expanded on more to give the intended audience more detail to work/research from. I feel like the person who created this slideshow has the correct idea of what the codes and conventions are of a movie title sequence is but I feel like it does lack in some basic information that would be useful. However it seems that it could of widened the type of title sequences, all it seems to look is title sequences of action movies. And if someone was to look at the slideshow and they were wanting a wide variety this wouldn't be good enough. The target seems to be for people that are doing things on action movies which would work if that was what was being learned. As I said the format is successful but it lacks basic detail.
I feel like this is the most detailed out of all the presentations and displays all of the conventions that would be needed to be understood for a media student. However I find that it might be uninteresting for the intended target audience because presentations are meant to be short and sweet but detailed at the same time. This is all writing so I feel like it may be too much for the intended target audience. Most presentations include pictures of a lot of lose explanations of what the conventions are. I feel like this presentation is aimed at much more advanced media students. I feel like this presentation does cover all the important aspects of the conventions of an opening movie sequence.

This presentation is much like the first one. It is a lot less advanced than I believe it should be. This presentation only looks at one sort of convention and I feel like this would only be advised to people who are trying to do an opening sequence of a thriller movie. I feel like it doesn't have a lot of the information intended for a average media student. However there is not a lot more that can be said because I feel like this presentation is much like the first one so commenting would seem repetitive.
