Film Credits

The purpose of the opening film credits are to state and tell you who are the producers, production company and other important people who are key to the production.

Colour

The colour of the text was white on a black background this makes the text stand out and makes it seem creepy and suspicious. The rest of the video clips for this section are also dull colours almost black and white apart form the blood which is a bright red, his shows death.

The style of the Credits 

there is a creepy style to the credits in this film as the words are not aligned straight this is because they are written at an angle and some letters are bigger then others. It also looks like t has been scratched onto the background, this shows that some has been tortured or that the killer is not mentally there. At the same time they were being flashed onto the screen, this males the audience scared and anticipated onto the edge of there seats. but the pictures behind are also flickering as if it is being played on an old time news real making it even more scarier.

Conventions

this is perfect for the conventions of a thriller because it is dark, the is creepy music that the tempo and he dynamics are increased for certain times of the clip. There is blood unclear clips, a crazy man in the background that is writing, sowing and using a blade to scrap his fingers. All of this creates fear, tension, and anticipation. The clips also show that the guy is a stalker as he is cutting up pictures, cross them out and writing up about them. also all the clips are a montage so the clips are changing within a couple of seconds.

Oder of Appearance

There is a list of people who are important and they come in a certain order, this order is as follows; Production Company, Director, Actor, Title of film, Actors Continued, Casting, Music Costume, Editor, Production, Camera Operator, Co-producer, Producer, Writing, and again the director because he is so important and famous.





Colours

The text in this clip is all capital and is in different colours with different names. some are red, some are white and some are black. some of the names just appear while some are written on paper and on see through plastic.



Style

The style of the opening credits are similar to the last clip as it is all dark mainly black and white. The text also flickers on the screen and this time they have shadows behind them making them stand out but at the same time they are hidden like there is something to hide which goes very well with batman as he is some that people know but yet is never seen. Even at the start where the makers and the production teams logos and introduction clips are black and white.

Conventions

because the clip is dark and things are hard to see it conveys that someone doesn't want to be found and they attack when no one knows where he is coming from who he is and what he is. This is conventional to a thriller as the audience has to try and figure out the mystery and this puts them on the edge of there seats with excitement and fear. Also the dark colours represents evil and death so you know that people are going to die. there are also photos of people which tells you that the killer/villain is after specific people and this gives you insight to who the characters are because the pictures match up with the names of the actors but they never show who the villian is so there is that secrecy that you have to figure out.


order of appearance

The order of appearance go as followed: Warner Bros., Legendary pictures, DC Comics, Syncopy, Warner Bros., Legendary pictures, DC Comics, Syncopy, Director, title, Actors, Characters by Bob Kane, Screen Play by..., Executive producers, and Dirctors. It is in this order as it goes through the most important roles in the production of the movie then it repeats the director because he is the mot important.

Group Analysis and Ideas

As a group we have discussed the different credits and which ones we liked and preferred. We like the used of motion tracking in other opening credits that we have seen and we also like the idea of white text on the background but with a glow like it would be a light. An example of this is:

But we want it to be white or more suitable colours. we want them to be gloomy and dark or at least the rest of the shot to be dim white a bright white text. one of the fonts that we liked we saw when we were watching a youtube video, the font is called optic and it has sharp edges that resemble a knife. this font was obtained from Dafont.com.





Another font that we liked was called face your fears and this was also from Dafont.com. this style looks like it is blood painted onto something which shows death and this is the font that we will be using. We want this font because it gives insight to what's going to happen in the future of the film. This will be the font that we will use because it is more conventional to a thriller

Planning Editing Styles

Why is editing important?

Editing is part of the post-production process of filmmaking. Editing is important because this is the part of the production that brings all the raw clips together. They put the film together and make sure that every part is in the correct place. They also edit other aspects such as the speed of the film, they can slow it down or make it faster, they can change the colouring and colour correct the clips, they put transitions between the clips and make the clips into a film.

What types of editing styles will you include in your thriller and why?

We will have a montage of clips that will increase the suspension because a montage sequence consists of a series of short shots that are edited into a sequence to condense narrative and we will also change the timing of cuts, we will make them slower to create tension to let the audience know something will happen. We will include straight cuts, which Shot A abruptly ends and Shot B abruptly begins so we will be going from clip to clip as we want to keep people aware and tense. We will also have a couple jump cuts otherwise the sequence the clip will get too long and will possibly bore the audience.

How will your editing styles help to make your thriller conventional?

They will add effect and emotions to the thriller. The audience will be anticipating what will happen next and who the killer is; it will add tension and suspension to put the audience on the edge of their seats. We wont the audience to be apart of the film and connect with the characters. We wont to make an atmosphere that brings the audience in so they are easy to scare. the clip will be fast paced, clear and the audience will see the feelings that the editor wants to put across.

Cinematography Group

Thrillers are made up of various camera shots to create different feelings and emotions and this helps to convey what the character is feeling. they engage the audience and open them up to be scary scenes that will make them jump.

The first camera shot that we will be including in out thriller is a panning shot. this shot is of Yeliz when she is in bed, this is to show who the main character in this film is going to be. This also tells you that she will be the victim, this is to get the audience's attention and so they will have a bind with this character so if anything is happening to her the suspence and tension will be higher.

The second shot we will include is a mid shot from outside of the window in the front door. this is also a POV of one of the bad guys. this is to let the audience know that someone is there and that the woman is in danger. this shot is also intriducing this first vilain, this is showing him to be a stalker and its also showing that he is very good at not being seen telling you that he will be hard to find after he has commited a crime.

A third shot is a close up, this is when Yeliz is getting a drink out of the fridge this shot is as important to telling you what is going to happen. This is to put the story together so it doesnt just cut to her pouring a drink of water.

The last shot that i will analysing in our thriller is a POV from Yeliz and from this you can see that she has seen someone through the relection of the glass cupboard door. this shot lets you know that Yeliz can see/ kows that someone is there and that something is going to happen. this is to create tension, supension and fear for not only te character but woth the audience and this is a convention that we really wanted to capture escpecially because as it is a thriller openintg

We have used these camera shots to get the audience involved with the film building a relationship with them and the characters. We want to create an atmosphere that the audience knew somehting was about to happen but we didnt let the character know until almost the end.

Production Roles

Camera Operator: Orcun and Arthur, this is because they know the story the best and they have a really  good idea of what needs to happen.

            A Camera Operators job is to assemble and set up the equipment that is required he also plans, prepares and rehearses scenes. The camera operator also has to follow the camera scripts, must have creative framing and captures action responding quickly to directions. They also liaise with he lighting and technician staff.

Actors: Sam and Orcun, this is because we have good hight making it better to be a villain because we are taller than the victim.

An Actor is in front of the camera and plays roles on stage, tv, radio, video and motion pictures. The must be good at copying the role that they are hired for. For example a Comic role, Action role, Depressed and sometimes are asked to sing and dance so they also need to be good in these areas.

Sound Technician: Sam, Harry, Arthur, Orcun, 

A sound technician is someone who sets up the equipment that is need to produce music, voices, and sound effects. They have to be able to use various tools such as microphones, mixers, amps, and speakers for indoor arenas, halls, studios and movie scenes.

Editors: Sam, Harry, Arthur, Orcun

An editor goes through the footage of a film once it has been filmed and selects the best scenes depending on the mood and dramatic scene that is need. They also trim segments add effects to those segments, makes cure the colour is correct if not they correct it to make the film flush. They add transitions, special effects, sound, music, and dialogue using his editing equipment. They put the whole film together making sure it is perfect for its purpose.

Film Director: Arthur, Arthur is the most experinced in film making and directing so he is the director since he is most suited for the role.

The film director is in charge of bringing the written narrative to the big screen so you are seeing what you reading. They also must have organising skills and technical skills so they are helping others grab the image that is in their mind.

Location Manager: Harry, Sam, We are filming in Harry's house so it is his location were we are filming and the second part of the film is recorded in Sam's garden which is his location, therefore they are both the ones organising the location, becoming the location managers.

The location manager finds a location suitable for a scene and for the entire movie. They make sure the weather is correct for the scene. Sometimes they have to find places all over the world for example Lord of the Rings was shot in New Zealand. If there is any problem with the location they sort it out and they have to make sure it is capable to film and have euipment there

Storyboard Organiser: Orcun and Arthur, Arthur and Orcun thought up the whole concept and story of the thriller so they will be the ones who will be coordinating the story correctly, since they are most clear of it and what they want the story to be filmed like.

This person makes sure the film is being shot in the right order of the story board and that the story board is correct to the idea that has been put forward.
