Some great websites for getting started

Last lesson we learnt about some great sites to help us with the course and they are a good resource of information and clips.

The first site im going to talk about is YouTube. Most people are familiar with YouTube, but just incase you're not, I will explain a little bit about it. YouTube is a website where anyone can put up videos or watch other people's videos and it is very easy to use: you simply type what you you would like to watch into the search bar and it will list all related videos.YouTube is useful for looking up other Media students' opening sequences for examples and ideas.

Another useful site is Art of the Title. Because we will be making our own opening sequences, this will be really useful for looking at many different title sequences and helping to find those of a specific genre or watching and trying to determine what kind of film it is and what its about.

Lastly there is the BBFC website that you can visit and learn all about film classification, why they do it, and how they decide on what rating to give a film or trailer.There is also an education resources section which will give you all the information you need to do work on the BBFC or simply get to know it.
