•In my
opening title sequence we incorporated generic conventions by using low key
lighting, this is commonly used in thriller title sequences as it engages the
audience and makes them focus. We used it this in nearly
all the scenes however we mainly used it in the last scene. Having low key
lighting creates suspense and mystery. Making the kidnapper anonymous also
creates mystery as the audience haven't been introduced to him. The camera work and editing meet the
conventions to a thriller film as we have a verity angles. The jump cut is a
good editing as it doesn’t show me walking down all the stairs which could be
boring for the audience to watch.
•The
opening to our trailer Revenge challenge the conventions to a thriller opening
because there is action in the beginning of it, where I got kidnapped by Lamarr. Whereas
thriller title sequences don’t usually have action they build on mystery
•I believe
that the conventions of my thriller opening sequence indicate what sub-genre it
is. I think this as we have met a lot of the expectation thriller opening
sequences include. However I think that it could be crossed with drama
alongside thriller. When I showed our sequence to a student they agreed with
what I thought and there reasons for this was because of our location props
story and how the opening set all was naturalistic so this built suspense as
they didn’t know what was going to happen because everything seemed natural
that is all part of the build up and thrill.
•Through
out my research I looked a director David flincher his work helped me with a few ideas. My most inspiration cam
from my analysis on three thriller title sequences. From drag me to hell, I
liked the idea of how it showed the location at the starts so that the audience
knew that it was based in the city. What I took from this title sequence was
the naturalistic aspect of it. At the beginning of all of the thriller
sequences I looked at they all started with their everyday life. We included
this aspect in our work by three girls having a sleep over watching a scary
film waiting for there Chinese delivery to arrive. The music in all of the
title sequences had a big impact on the reaction the audience would have. I noticed that the camera angles most
of the time allowed the audience to see what was going on in the background
therefore they used a lot of mid shots and long shots, as well as close ups.
When we recorded we was influenced by the effective camera angles had on the
audience so we used a variety of the most effective camera angles.
