Evaluation Question 1

Thriller Titles

This is a title opening of a thriller called "Se7en". The first thing that tells me it is a thriller is the use of sound, the music which is being used is dark and sinister which straight away let's the audience know that this is a thriller and not a romantic or a comic film. This title sequence is very dark, which may indicate that there me death, we see pictures of dead body, like as if they are files to a police investigation, this gets the audience thinking, why are is there pictures of dead people. What did catch my eye is, someone cutting there skin with a razor blade, this gets the audience thinking, is there a reason why there is someone cutting there skin, or is this a weapon which will kill or hurt someone in the movie. This only gets the audince to keep watching the rest,

Audience feedback

My audience feedback came from my family, and what my family said was that it was really good, and that it looked professional with the use of changing shot angles. My mentor also said that it was really well done and look very professional. Another way I got feedback is from the amount of likes and dislikes I got on YouTube for it.

Screening

When it came to screening my finished product. I showed my friends and family. The way I showed my friends were by using YouTube. I uploaded the finished product on to YouTube which meant other people could see it and also get it reviewed to see how many people liked it. For my family to watch it I put it on the big screen straight from YouTube so they can see. My mentor also watched the final product from YouTube.

Final recording

           Today we were able to finish recording our thriller opening. We had some some problems and had to re-shot some of the scenes. This isn't something we could control because of the pubic. The problem was that it was during after school which made the quite road that we were using a busy. There were continues cars passing us and have people cutting into the scene. This really is nothing we had control over and had to keep patients. We eventually got there in the end. We have already had an attempt on the final few seconds of our thriller but it was ruined. We did a a terrible job, the reason for this is because the weather was not on our side. We tried to do a rush job and avoid getting the camera wet.  The video below is our final clip.

Making title sequence

When making my title sequence I had my titles fade in and out of the screen. The reason for this is so it gave it a professional look but also give it that thriller feel. The way I did this is by using Adobe Premier Pro, this is also whilst I was editing my video. As I added text, I moved all the text to the bottom left of the screen. Then I used a type of fountain pen tool, this allowed me to put in the fade in and fade out effect to my title sequences.

Making my studio ident

The way I did my studio ident was by downloading a Adobe After Effects template from the internet, what I then went onto doing is by opening the file on Adobe After Effects, what this allowed me to do was edit the way it moves, colours and text. Allowed me to making into my own personal thing. So what I then did was add text "XKILLER PRODUCTION" as the studio ident. Once I did this I exported the file as a video and imported it on to my thriller opening during the editing process.
