Codes and Conventions of an ots;

In an ots the audience usually has a view on the setting of the film, where it is and what time period. What the film is called and the production and distributing company name and logo, The mise-en-scene such as costumes and props and other things that are seen in the scene. Usually there is a sound track to set an atmosphere which could be happy or tense depending on the genre.

From the slide shares about the codes and conventions of an ots i think they have shown them well and clearly. They are identifying the codes and conventions well and use good examples whilst doing so, i think the audience are media studies students from a gcse to sixth form age as they will understand the language better than a younger age. The obvious perpose for the presentations is to support the media sllybus of looking at opening title sequences and to help students or teachers learn, question and understand the different codes and conventions of opening title sequences. 

I think the formats of these presentations are good, the second one being more interesting and informative as it is more complex but all are clear and easy to understand, the third one being slightly harder to read and less interesting as it is just written out. Most of the slides identified the codes and conventions well but could have expressed more detail in them and added the smaller and less obvious and predictible conventions.
