Location Shots

These images were taken in order to get an idea of what type of shots we need. As the genre is thriller, the shots need to be very creepy and have a sense of curiosity to them. The pictures taken in the dark with little lights is simply a street at night. We were thinking of having the fist title of 'A Tangerine Productions' in the eerie distorted lights to create effect of the thriller genre. The warning signs would be quite effective if we distorted them and have them flash in and out of our footage. We need to find more creepy places to shoot in, one of them being at Millets in Cambridge where Oli works, as it is quite spooky leading up the stairs and onto the roof.

Mara's Thoughts

In the Kids TV we didn't get an organized shot list, so for this thriller, we will definitely should be more organized with a planned shot list and what we need to shoot!

Prilimanary Ideas

'I Spy'
An unknown figure is stalking ang spying on different people who turn out to be the victims of the murders. We do not actually see this figure as it would destroy the suspense, e.g. the figure would be on a high building spying on their victim or the figure would be looking through offices etc. We only hear the figure beathing to make it more intense.

During the opening sequence we're going to have a news report saying about that theres just been another murder then it keeps flicking between that and people being spied on e.g off the top of an building looking down, zooming in on one person. As it flicks its quite fuzzy to make it seem more realistic.

Also during it we will have cuts of articles/words in the newspaper

At the end we see the news report which says there has just been another victim then slowly zooms out so you see it on an actual tv screen, and this is the murderers tv so make it creepy. As the camera zooms out the tv screen suddenly goes off and you see a silluet of the murderer sitting there watching the news.

Analysing student work

Brings the text in well with fade in fades out, this suits the music which is slow and almost creepy which suits and slow fade in and slow fade out. It then fades in with what could be food colouring in water to represent blood. This is also slow and creepy. These three aspects work really well together and add up to give a really creepy atmostphere.
It flicks between then creepy blood flow and then to a shot cut of what looks like someone being killed. This i think works really well as they are using amature actors and i think it being short and just flickers of scruft hair and someone being pulled around etc. The music then changes as well, going louder emphiseing the action.
I think this group undersatnd the thriller genre but i think this intro sequence has alot of horror in as wel as thriller. The structure of the opening sequence works really well when they keep cutting back to the blood in water shot. this creates alot of tension.
Overal it works well and blends the music and the differnt shots on screen togther really well.

Panic Room Title Sequence

The opening to this film is very effective, as the 3d credits really stand out and blend in with the scenary behind. the music is quite tense at times with a slow beat and dietetic sounds such as the traffic and people moving around. the panning camera effects creates a calm, yet nervous atmosphere and the story to the film is left at curiosity. the range of colors used are very basic and bland to evoke a sense of seclusion from others, just like what the film is about.

Casino Royale

The title sequence in this film is quite unreal and theres alot of patterns, it doesn't really have any link to the actual film and the text is plain. Its not very colouful or interesting. The main images are just cards/card games which has a slight link to the film as its about a casino where people play cards.

Inside man - thiller intro sequence

I think this intro using interesting techniques when putting the credits on screen. The separte letters from each word start scatered and then collect to make the word/sentence. It also uses a font which i think works well with the pictures on screen and the music. It has the name of the person in block capitals and the job they did in lower case. I think this works well as it emphises the person rather than the whole thing.
The title of the film when displayed is displayed in very well, it has the name in the same font as the rest of the credits but a ring of lights appears around it as though they are part of the background picutre.
The sequence starts with a shot of a man stearing into the camera in a clsoe up shot. This shows us he is going to be a key chacter in either just the intro sequence or the whole film. This is a effective way to clearly introduceing the main charcter of the film. It than fades into the main sequence of shots showing the potenial setting of the film. The intro sequence is a almost a small story following a black van around a city which is picking people on its way.

I think this is an effective title sequence becase potenial key characters are introduce effectively and all the credits are clear and intrestingly brought on and off screen.

In the last project i made the sound track which i think went with the footage really well and did alot of editing. This has Really increased my confidence when it comes to the general process of making an intro sequence which means i am much more knowledgable about which processes work well and which don't
