In the cut, Film opening credits.

The opening credits to this film are also good. It also goes from the general to the particular, staring off with New york City. The first thing which is shown on this film is also the ident, Pathe productions, it is then followed by the name of the producers. The main credits to this film start of with the central character, Meg Ryan, and continue on to list the names of the less important actors.
The credits to this film is effective as the title is shown last. It is affected as not only is the font a different type to tst but because it has the sense of dripping to it as if an actual cut on the body. This can be possible to do with livetype and be used with our thriller if we chose to have writing like this. 

Film Titles

Today in class, we watched some more fillm openings, this was to discover the way in which they had shown there opening title, ident, main characters and other main components of the film. (E.g. music, editor, production company etc.) We done this in order to get an idea of how to convey the opening credits to our two minute thriller.

The first film opening we watched was from the film 'The Brave One'

The film 'The Brave one', stars Jodie Foster as the main character, it shows the opening credits of the film in a very good way. The picture goes from the general to the particular, a blurred image of New York city to Jodie Foster. The ident to the film is the first thing shown, there are three ident's in this film; Warner Bros. Pictures, Village Roadshow pictures and Silver pictures. The first credits are then repeats of these names. The rest of the credit's go from the main character of the film, Jodie Foster, to the least important names. Such as music and editors. These credits are effective as they fade in and out of the moving picture behind them.

Survey Update

I checked my results on survey monkey today, but found that i only have 4 results after posting it on facebook 5 days ago, this is not enough people to analyse results from.

Due to the small number of responses i have on my surevy i posted it on my wall on facebook this time instead of in an email, i will keep posting it in order to get more results for a more accurate analysis.

Our Interviews; Further Target Audience Research

During lesson today, Me, Connor, Hollie and Ashleigh used to camera to carry out some interviews with students around the school, we asked each person 3 questions, based around the analysis about thrillers and about how different genders and age groups vary in the thrillers which they enjoy. This was in an attempt to further identify the target audience for our thriller. We asked three questions in order to do this, these included;

1. What is your favourite thriller?
2. Why is this your favourite thriller?
3. What do you think makes a good thriller, what main components?

Below is our final outcome, it is various people answering the questions and involves some bloopers too.

Se7en, 1995

Below is the opening credits to the film Se7en written in 1995. The music within the opening can be described as disturbing and unsettling. The font of the credits flicker on the screen and the text is also very irregular, different shapes and sizes and can be described as sharp/spikey. The two main characters are one of the first credits and then the title follows, others, not as important, follow after. These credits are very powerful as they are both unsettling and disturbing. They are different to other credits also as they display the main actors before they write the title of the film. Tha last name to be seen is the director of the film

Panic Room, 2002

This is the opening scene to 'Panic room', written in 2002. The first credits are the production company; Columbia. The next is the star of the film, Jodie Foster. The font of these credits are large and bold, emphasisng the size of the buildings. They then continue to add the other main actors of the film. The music is tense and changes to cause more suspense whilst the smaller charcters, directors and producer, writer music directors and editor are shown. the scene changes from the general to the particular, changing from the tall buildings of New York City to a mid-shot of Jodie Foster.

Film openings

Today in class, we watched the opening of films in order to analise the opening credits to come up with ideas for what we want to use in our own opening credits for our two minute thrillers. Opening credits are usually shown as superimposed on a blank screen, static picture or even over the action or picture in the background. Opening credits usually consist of the production company, the main characters, other actors, producers and directors etc.
We watched two film openings; 'Panic Room' and 'Se7en'. we watched the opening credits and dicussed the order in which the cast and production team are displayed. We dicovered that in both film openings it was as follows;

• The production company
• The production company logo
• The main character, general to the particular
• The co-stars
• Members of the crew such as editor, director, camera man, music, costume etc.
