Start of Media Course

In our first few lessons we watched other students' work from past years and the openings of thrillers and horror films. When Louise and I discussed the clips we had seen after, we both agreed that we would prefer to look more at the action-comedy genre as this is the type of film we like to watch ourselves.
We enjoy the thriller-style direction and comedy elements of Edgar Wright's films. The fast paced opening sequence is particularly effective.
We also watched "Shaun of The Dead", "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" and "About a Boy". We really liked the comic timing of "About a Boy" and the special effects and comedy in the other two films.
