10D CUFFS

Starter activity while I am registering you:
  • Watch the title sequence to Sherlock on The Art of The Title 
  • Analyse the film language 
  • What is the function of an title sequence for a film?
  • How does it signal its genre and its Victorian period?
First we customize our blogs:
  • alter the widths of the main blog and sidebar
  • find out how to add a background image
  • Find out how to add a title image
Next, we move on to Cuffs:
  • What is the function of an opening sequence for a TV programme
  • How did this opening sequence appeal to its audience?
  • What aspects of the title sequence tell a story about Brighton's diversity?
  • In the programme, how did spread of different characters engage the different strands of the mainstream audience?
  • Cuffs is before the watershed. How is this reflected in the handling of themes?
PREP Friday night: research Cuffs online. You may want to watch a bit more of the episode, too. Aim to answer the bullet points above.
